Troyzan started the game on the all-male Manono tribe. He joined Colton Cumbie's Misfit Alliance along with tribe mates Colton, Tarzan Smith, Leif Manson, and Jonas Otsuji. As Manono won the first two Immunity Challenges he was never in danger of being voted out until "One World Is Out the Window" where his alliance voted out Matt Quinlan. Troyzan agreed to give up immunity to eliminate Bill Posley.
At the tribe switch Troyzan was switched to Salani along wit tribe mates Jay Byars and Michael Jefferson. While on Salani Troyzan made an alliance with Jay, Kim Spradlin, and Chelsea Meissner. The alliance did not need to vote anybody out as Salani won the next Immunity Challenge and Colton was medically evacuated in the following episodes.
Troyzan won the first post-merge Immunity Challenge and despite thinking Jonas deserved to stay, he ended up voted with his post swap alliance in ousting Jonas. Knowing the women had the numbers advantage, the men were thinking of voting out Christina next. However, Kim lied to Troyzan about Michael wanting him gone. Motivated by his reignited anger towards Michael, he voted with the women, eliminating Michael at the next Tribal Council. Troyzan was shocked when the women in his alliance betrayed the alliance and blindsided Jay. The women continued voting out the men, with Troyzan being safe by winning individual immunity. In "Never Say Die", after Troyzan failed to win immunity, he took the loss hard and turned his back for the duration of the Immunity Challenge. That night at Tribal Council, despite an effort to mess with the majority alliance's split vote plan and get Christina out, he was eliminated for being the strongest male contestant left as well as his clashes with the women.
At Final Tribal Council, he voted for Sabrina Thompson to win who lost to Kim in a 7-2-0 vote.
