Pete was a part of the [[Tandang]] tribe, which learned that they would be joined by returning veteran [[Michael Skupin]]. Pete started off in [[Tandang Alliance|an alliance]] with fellow tribemates [[Abi-Maria Gomes]] and [[R.C. Saint-Amour]], deceiving them into thinking he was just another pretty face with no strategy. However, Pete showed this was not the case, as he formulated a plan to turn Abi and R.C. against each other with by revealing the [[Hidden Immunity Idol]] clue to the whole tribe which led to Abi accusing R.C. of having the idol. Afterwards, Pete and Abi left R.C. and formed an alliance with [[Artis Silvester]] and [[Lisa Whelchel]]. During this time, Pete, Abi and Artis formed a three person bond, and alienated R.C. and Skupin throughout the pre-[[merge]] game.

Penner played his idol, with Pete and Abi's biggest enemy was sent out of the game in a 4-2-0 vote, with two votes against Pete as well.

The two were reluctant to accept despite Mike's initial uncertainty about following Penner's plan after his conversation with Pete, and Pete was sent home that night after Abi played her idol in a 3-2-0 vote.

Penner played his idol, with Pete and Abi's biggest enemy was sent out of the game in a 4-2-0 vote, with two votes against Pete as well. After RC's elimination, Pete's alliance stuck to their plan to get out Penner. However, Penner wins immunity, and everyone at the camp began to scramble for a new plan of who to vote out. Skupin seems an obvious choice, but Lisa informs Pete that Malcolm Freberg also has an idol. Pete confronts Malcolm, but believes that Malcolm doesn't have an idol after Malcolm denied that he has one. In the midst of the chaos, Pete proposes that they vote out former Kalabaw member Jeff Kent. The plan is accepted by Pete's alliance, and the entire remaining Tandang tribe voted against Jeff, while the former Kalabaw members with Malcolm voted against Pete, minus Penner who, in the confusion, did not know who to vote against, and voted against Abi instead.
