Davie Rickenbacker
An idol-hunting David who kept dodging the bottom until he got too dangerous to keep.
Known for
Davie formed an early pact with Carl Boudreaux on the David tribe and found an idol on Day 4 of David vs. Goliath. After the swap he was a David outnumbered on Vuku, but he quietly held that camp's idol, sold out Elizabeth Olson's plans to save himself, and then joined her and Alec Merlino to blindside Natalia Azoqa.
Post-merge, Davie ran interference so Nick Wilson could grab an advantage, then made his signature play: he put his idol on Christian Hubicki, and John Hennigan was blindsided. He saw through Nick's fake idol bluff, found another real one, and played it at the next Tribal, cancelling two votes as Christian went home. By then Davie's idol record and social game made him a massive threat, and Mike White organized the 4-2 vote that sent him to the jury. At Final Tribal he sparred with Angelina Keeley and voted for his ally Nick, who won.
