Known for
Kyle's Survivor 48 ran on a pact nobody could see. He and Kamilla Karthigesu bonded on Civa, she cracked the Beware Advantage puzzle that got him an idol, and after the swap they faked a feud before he played that idol plus her Extra Vote to blindside Thomas Krottinger. At the merge his athleticism earned him a spot in the Strong Five, and a genuine friendship with Joe Hunter. Rather than knife Joe, Kyle hollowed out his game, adding a lie that Shauhin Davari had shown Kamilla an idol to get Shauhin blindsided. He won the final immunity, kept his word to Joe, and at Final Tribal Kamilla teed him up to take credit, winning 5-2-1.
He returned for In the Hands of the Fans just weeks after his win aired and slid right into Vatu's majority. Then he badly hurt his ankle running up a ramp at the first immunity challenge, and the next day medical pulled him over a suspected snapped Achilles tendon.
