Dan Rengering
The idol-finding Goliath whose second idol got nullified at the exact wrong moment.
Known for
Dan was a finder. He dug up Goliath's idol during the tribe-wide hunt and stashed it in his jacket, not realizing Jeremy Crawford had already peeked. He paired up with Kara Kay early, though the showmance ran hotter on his side than hers. After the swap put him on Tiva, he formed a "brochacho" bond with Christian Hubicki and John Hennigan, found a second idol, and rode a tribe that never lost immunity.
The merge got messy. He won a key immunity, then burned an idol on Angelina Keeley, a player he did not even like, only for the Davids to split their votes and take John anyway. Frustrated and feeling shut out, he snapped at Kara, which shook her faith in him. At the next Tribal Council Nick Wilson stole a vote, Dan played his last idol on himself, and Carl Boudreaux answered with an Idol Nullifier. On the jury, Dan voted for Nick.
