Survivor

Assigned to Morgan, Osten formed an alliance with Andrew Savage and Ryan Opray identifying themselves as the strongest people within the tribe. Despite his physical appearance, Osten struggled to adapt to island life always appearing to be tired, lethargic and prone to freak out over minor situations such as a Pelican entering the camp. After losing the second Immunity Challenge Osten asked his tribe to vote him out. At the Tribal Council that night his wish was not granted as Ryan Shoulders was eliminated for his weakness.

During the third Reward Challenge, Osten began to drown during the swimming portion resulting in Andrew and Ryan O. swimming out to save him. Although his tribe admitted he was weak and he wanted to quit as early as Day 6, they kept him around at the next Tribal Council, where the majority alliance turned on the last outsider, Lillian Morris. His wish to voluntarily leave the game still left unfulfilled, when the Morgan tribe, already down to five members, created a three-time Immunity Challenge winning streak.

On Day 19, the game took an unexpected turn when game's first six evictees returned to compete for a chance to return to the game. The Outcasts won the Immunity Challenge, sending both Morgan and Drake to Tribal Council to eliminate a member. That afternoon, Osten again asked his tribe to vote him out, where they finally agreed to do so. At Tribal Council, after the Morgan tribe verbally confirmed that they would respect Osten's wishes, a visibly upset Jeff snuffed his torch without going to an official vote, and then laid the torch down on the ground, making Osten the first person in history to quit Survivor.
