Survivor: Worlds Apart
Will started the game as a member of the free-spirited Nagarote tribe, dubbed the "No-Collars". On the first day, Will was chosen to be Nagarote's representative to make a decision on behalf of his tribe and also chose Jenn Brown to assist him. Learning that their choice was between a big bag of beans or a Hidden Immunity Idol clue, Will and Jenn chose the bigger bag as it was too early to be deceitful in the game. When Nagarote first lost Immunity on Day 6, Will became the swing vote between the alliance of Joe Anglim, Hali Ford and Jenn, as well as the alliance of Vince Sly and Nina Poersch. While he initially prepared to side with the latter, Nina revealed to him that Vince was concerned about his health, offending Will. This prompted Will to side with Joe's group at Tribal Council, voting out Vince and later Nina on Day 8. At the Tribe Switch, Will remained on Nagarote. Despite being targeted by Max Dawson and Shirin Oskooi for being a challenge liability, Will remained safe and eventually made the Merge on Day 17.
Upon merging, Will was immediately approached by Rodney Lavoie Jr., who offered him a place in the alliance of the original Escameca tribe. While Will accepted Rodney's offer, he was not informed of the alliance's plan to vote against Jenn, being told to vote against Hali in order to prove his loyalty. Will did as instructed, earning the trust of the Escameca alliance. Now in the majority, Will aided the alliance in the pagonging of his former No-Collar allies.
At the Day 25 Survivor Auction, Will won an item that banished him from the auction. Upon returning to camp however, Will discovered that he had won a cooler full of rations to last him throughout the remainder of the game. As a gesture of good will, he decided to share the rations with the rest of the tribe but was later informed by Tyler Fredrickson that several tribe members (notably Shirin) believed that Will was being deceitful and had more food stashed away for himself. Enraged by her accusation, Will returned to camp and verbally attacked Shirin, exclaiming that she had no family back home and that nobody was rooting for her to win or even cared about her. Despite his outburst against Shirin, Will's weakness in challenges and non-threatening nature continued to protect him from being targeted, eventually reaching the Final Three along with Mike Holloway and Carolyn Rivera.
During the Final Tribal Council, Rodney encouraged Will to explain his game to the rest of the Jury as to why he made the decisions he did and deserved to win. In contrast, Shirin compared Will to a dead fish, stating that his vile attitude would poison a person from the inside out if he was bitten into. Will ultimately became the Co-Runner-Up of the season (along with Carolyn), losing to Mike in a 6-1-1 vote, only receiving the vote of Rodney to win.
