- deep breath - Kayden was the epitome of the guy who was a triple threat and had all the skills to win the game but just played a little bit too hard, too fast. Despite being really tight, Kayden and Hank never saw eye to eye when it came to the vote outs. It started at the Suzie boot and later again at the Claudia blindside, where Hank really wanted to play it safe and just vote for Hannah while Kayden didn't like the fact that Claudia/Michael/Jullian were switching the target from Luke to Hannah and ultimately convinced Hank to go along with the plan to send Claudia home. After Hannah messed up the split vote plan by switching her vote to Lilli, Hank REALLY wanted Hannah gone once and for all but Kayden felt that Hannah would be a loyal soldier to them and pressured Hank into splitting up the Jullian/Michael duo. However, he trusted Genevieve far too much to stick by them and she ultimately blindsided Kayden because he was playing too hard.

Honestly, one of the things I didn't like about this season was that I felt there were a few duds in the cast and Michael was one of them. I originally cast him to be the "I always need to be in control" guy but I already had WAY too many of those in Luke and Abrham so his personality was a lot more reserved than I had originally anticipated. So yeah, he was probably one of my least favourite castaways of the bunch. As far as how he played the game, he and Jullian were left on the receiving end of Claudia's blindside and if it weren't for Hank subtly throwing Kayden under the bus to them by implying it was all his idea and insinuating that Hank still wanted to work with them, they likely would've mutinied. However, Michael stuck by his tribe and while he and Jullian considered flipping to work with Luke and Lilli, there was too much bad blood between them and they sided with the majority to split the votes. Then, after catching wind of the plan to blindside Michael thanks to Genevieve, they worked with Luke temporarily to send Kayden home. Post-mutiny onwards, he and Hank, while not fully trusting of one another, formed a truce of sorts and together with Jullian and Milo, and stuck by each other  out of necessity  up until Jullian's elimination. At that point, Michael was left in a desperate situation and while he tried to rally the numbers to usurp Chelsea's control, it didn't work out and he was picked off.
