Unfortunately, he was devastatingly knocked out of the game just shy due to a medical evacuation.
The season was marred by some iconic negative moments.
Oh, andBrandon Hantz.

Thatmeltdown was bad for all the wrong reasons.
This time through brute strength and skill.
Then there was Coach, who was able to tap into the social aspect through prayer and emotions.
Ozzy had an incredibly risky game, relying on his challenge prowess.
But they did not.
Instead,the winner of the season was Mike Gabler.
His game was one of playing low and striking when necessary, something many viewers seemed to miss.
And they were eager to eliminate him as quickly as possible.
They were not going to fall for his manipulative and brutal ways.

And if they sniffed out his power play, they were swiftly eliminated.
At some point in the season, one person would return to the game.
The Have Nots were given meager supplies and had to build their camp from scratch.

To say that the season was automatically lopsided was an understatement.
As predicted, the twist did not go according to plan.
Overall, the season was severely lacking simply due to the twist.

5’Survivor: One World’
Season 24
The concept forSurvivor: One Worldwas brilliant.
On the plus side, this season was female-dominated.
The final five came from the original Salani tribe, but the season awarded the exceptionalKim Spradlin.

Though, the season began with the medivac ofKourtney Moon.
By not pre-selecting the tribes, it proved a bit disastrous.
But then, the second big twist was the fake merge.

Normally, when the tribes share the same beach, the tribes would be officially merged.
Not onSurvivor: Thailand!
LikeSurvivor: Fiji, Shii Ann Huang would be the only returning player from this season.

Car salesmanBrian Heidikused his skills to make is way all the way to the end.
That being said, backstabbing and manipulation are a part of the game of Survivor!
Sadly,Survivor: Thailandis in the bottom tier of the first generation of the show.

Instead, the intentionally cluelessJud “Fabio” Birzawas crowned Sole Survivor.
For a long while,Survivor: Nicaraguawas a frowned upon season because of the win by Fabio.
Oh, and let’s not forget how the tribe was broken down.

LikeSurvivor: Panama,Survivor: Nicaraguabroke apart the tribes by age.
Despite quitting the game,Survivorallowed them both to remain on the jury.
It caused a host of controversy that this rule was changed after the fact.

Fan favoriteBrenda Lowe was the only playerto return for a future season.
ForSurvivor: Worlds Apart, the show tried their hand at exploring class.
Yes, that’s right.

The players were placed in tribes based on the life they lead.
It was Blue Collar versus White Collar versus No Collar.
It was a very bold concept that never quite panned out.
A major factor in the downfall of this season was the treatment of certain castaways.
The season started with one tribe nearly controlling the entire game, winning nearly every challenge.
But there was one massive dark mark on the season that affected the entirety of the season.
CastawayDan Spilowas accused of inappropriately touching a female contestant,Kellie Kim.
WhileDean Kowalskihad a stronger physical game, the jury awarded the season toTommy Sheehanfor his social game.
Oh, and Boston Rob and Sandra were there to watch.
