Survivor: Fiji

Cole joined the 18 other contestants of Survivor: Fiji never having watched the show. Upon arriving in Fiji, he identified Yau-Man Chan as the person with the best combination of smarts and integrity and formed an alliance with Chan that lasted until the final four contestants. They cooperated over the course of the game to discover two hidden immunity idols from information that they discovered on several independent visits to exile island. When Dreamz reneged on a deal for immunity at the final tribal council and Chan was eliminated, Cole immediately became the jury's unanimous vote to become the 14th Sole Survivor.
