Ryan was a castaway on Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers and was a member of the Hustler / Yawa tribe for being a bellhop with an ugly red turtleneck.
[Pre-Merge]:
• During the marooning, he found a secret advantage on the ship, which turned out to be a super Idol; however, if his tribe didn’t attend the first Tribal Council, he would need to give it to someone on the losing tribe (which was Chrissy, who kept it and didn’t use)
• On Day 2 he aligned with Devon and told him about the Idol; he later aligned with Ali
• Ryan joined his tribe in unanimously voting out Simone on Day 6
• On Day 8, he argued for Patrick to stay, but was overruled by Devon and Ali, who opted to keep Lauren instead
[Tribe Swap]:
• On Day 9, Ryan and Ali were swapped to Soko and Ryan lucked out with Chrissy from Levu also being swapped there; he told her about the Idol which immediately caused them to work together
• On Day 14, Ryan found himself the swing vote between voting out his new ally Chrissy, or Roark, who was working with his ally Ali; he ultimately shocked Ali and turned on her, voting out Roark instead
• Ali confronted Ryan after Tribal Council; Ryan later made amends with Ali and started to fear JP would be a threat at the merge; ultimately, he and Chrissy decided to vote out Ali over JP when they returned to Tribal
[Merge]:
• Ryan joined The Round Table alliance, seemingly led by Ben, and they controlled the first few votes at the merge
• He found a Hidden Immunity Idol, which led to a dramatic Idol fight between Cole and Chrissy on the beach
• He separately told Devon and Ben about his Idol; the two would later compare notes and caused Devon to distrust Ryan
• Ryan was blindsided when Ben, Ashley, Devon, and Lauren turned on him and Chrissy and blindsided JP; Ryan tried his best to amend his friendship with Devon but was unsuccessful; he was also unsuccessful at wooing Mike over
• Convinced he was the target, Ryan wasted his Idol to save himself, despite not receiving the majority of votes
• Ryan got to see his dad and share the reward with him, thanks to Chrissy
• At a reward challenge, he made a final 3 pact with Chrissy and Devon
• Despite multiple attempts to vote Ben out, Ryan was unsuccessful, which led to the departures of Ashley and Mike
• At Final 4, Chrissy won final immunity, which in a twist, allowed her to pick who would be sitting next to her and which two would compete in a fire making challenge; believing Devon was more capable of beating Ben, she picked Ryan to automatically be in the final 3 with her
• Devon lost, making the final 3 Ryan, Chrissy, and Ben
[Final 3]:
• Ryan was accused of playing an inferior game to Ben and Chrissy, that his conversations lacked strategy, he didn’t make strong enough social connections, and that he had poor work ethic around camp
• He tried to argue that his social maneuvering and partnering up with Chrissy and Devon warranted him the win, but that failed to sway the jury
• In the end, only Devon voted for Ryan as the underdog, with Ryan placing third/second runner-up with 1 vote, Chrissy in second with 2 votes, and Ben as the sole survivor with 5 votes.
Ryan has previously interned for both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, as well as the British Consulate. He wants to go to law school. He is the highest ranking member of the Hustler tribe, placing third. He is also the third 3rd place finalist to receive a jury vote, following Amanda Kimmel in China and Missy Payne in San Juan Del Sur. He is the only male to do so. However, Amanda was robbed (for second) and Missy’s sole vote was from her daughter, so his pity vote from Devon puts him somewhere in between them in impressiveness. Every other final 3 had the person in third place receive zero votes and/OR there was a tie for second place (i.e. Dawn & Sherri in Caramoan).
