Piombo started as the "older" Espada tribe's resident strategist, successfully eliminating every person of his choosing. His first casualty was [[Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff]], for he felt annoyed about her kooky demeanor. Second was [[Jimmy Johnson]], whom Marty felt jealous because of his popularity. His third victim was [[Jimmy Tarantino]] whose grating personality had rubbed him and the rest of the tribe in the wrong way. He was notable for having a rivalry with tribemate [[Jane Bright]], who he felt could win easily because of her "sad" backstory.

He, with the help of [[Jill Behm]], found the Hidden Immunity Idol in Day 6. The three decided to stick together as an alliance.

Lembo was left alone at Espada, while Behm and Piombo (together with Bright) were switched to the rival La Flor tribe.

Knowing he was in danger, Marty decided to reveal his Hidden Immunity Idol, much to [[Brenda Lowe]]'s chagrin. At the Day 15 [[Tribal Council#Double Tribal Councils|Double Tribal Council]], Marty was put in danger when he decided to not use his idol. Adding insult to injury, the vote ended up a 3-3 tie vote between him and [[Kelly Bruno]] (Marty and Jill voted against Brenda).

After the vote, Marty confronted Jane about voting against him. Since Jane could not give a satisfying answer, Marty was bent on eliminating Jane next. After losing the Day 18 Immunity Challenge, Jane and the younger members of La Flor planned on telling Marty that they will be splitting their votes between him and Jill, forcing him to draw out his idol. [[Sash Lenahan]] on the other hand made an all-new plan: blackmailing Marty about passing his idol to him, in exchange for his safety (but the gesture would lead to his closest ally Jill's elimination instead). With Marty hesitant to give up his idol, Sash sweetened the deal by promising to return his idol should they lose another Immunity Challenge. In the end, Marty was left alone, as Jill was sent home.

At Final Tribal Council, Marty ask Chase that who would receive the "Dumber than a bag of hammers reward" from everyone at the merge excluding Marty. Chase felt the question was BS and no one would answer that. He also called Sash a smart player. Marty ultimately cast his vote for his friend, [[Fabio Birza|Fabio]], who won the title of Sole Survivor. His reasoning being that he viewed Chase as "the dumbest person to play survivor" and Sash as a "weasel", and thinks Fabio has changed as a person and as a player.

Survivor

Piombo started as the "older" Espada tribe's resident strategist, successfully eliminating every person of his choosing. His first casualty was Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff, for he felt annoyed about her kooky demeanor. The second was Jimmy Johnson, whom Marty felt jealous because of his popularity. His third victim was Jimmy Tarantino whose grating personality had rubbed him and the rest of the tribe in the wrong way. He was notable for having a rivalry with tribemate Jane Bright, who he felt could win easily because of her "sad" backstory.

He, with the help of Jill Behm, found the Hidden Immunity Idol on Day 6. They, along with Dan Lembo decided to stick together as an alliance. Piombo became confident that he would make it all the way to the end until a surprise tribe swap on Day 12 ruined his plans. Lembo was left alone at Espada, while Behm and Piombo (together with Bright) were switched to the rival La Flor tribe.

Upon reaching their new camp and meeting their new tribemates, Bright revealed to her new tribemates that both Marty and Jill could not be trusted. Knowing he was in danger, Marty decided to reveal his Hidden Immunity Idol, much to Brenda Lowe's chagrin. At the Day 15 Double Tribal Council, Marty was put in danger when he decided to not use his idol. Adding insult to injury, the vote ended up a 3-3 tie vote between him and Kelly Bruno (Marty and Jill voted against Brenda). But after a revote, Marty was spared, sending Bruno, the perceived bigger threat, home.

After the vote, Marty confronted Jane about voting against him. Since Jane could not give a satisfying answer, Marty was bent on eliminating Jane next. After losing the Day 18 Immunity Challenge, Jane and the younger members of La Flor planned on telling Marty that they will be splitting their votes between him and Jill, forcing him to draw out his idol. Sash Lenahan, on the other hand, made an all-new plan: blackmailing Marty about passing his idol to him, in exchange for his safety (but the gesture would lead to his closest ally Jill's elimination instead). With Marty hesitant to give up his idol, Sash sweetened the deal by promising to return his idol should they lose another Immunity Challenge. In the end, Marty was left alone, as his ally Jill was sent home.

At their first Tribal Council as Libertad, Marty continued his tirade against Jane, persuading everyone to eliminate her because she would win easily should she last longer, thus continuing their conflict. Eventually, Marty's wish was unfulfilled, because the tribe felt that it was still too early to eliminate Jane (in addition to her being immune), and Alina Wilson went home instead.

The next day, Marty continued his plotting against Jane by proposing a plan to Benry and Dan to feign a vote against NaOnka (to potentially flush out NaOnka's own idol) to Chase and Holly, but really vote for Jane, causing Jane to be blindsided. After winning the next Reward Challenge (where the tribe was coincidentally divided by gender), Marty convinced the other males to eliminate Jane, thus affirming a gender-based war at the next vote. Marty put his plan into motion by telling Chase that the men were voting for NaOnka. Chase told Holly that he thought the guys were trying to blindside Jane and he was voting for Marty.

His reasoning being that he viewed Chase as "the dumbest person to play Survivor" and Sash as a "weasel", and thinks Fabio has changed as a person and as a player.
