Nobody in Vanuatu narrated life on the bottom quite like Rory. The sharp-tongued New Yorker drew the men's Lopevi tribe and immediately chafed against the good-old-boy pecking order Sarge's older crew had set up, and his blunt, unfiltered confessionals about getting frozen out are the best thing going in the early Vanuatu episodes. Problem was, the gender split that opened the season was math he could never beat: when the tribes merged into Alinta on Day 20, the women came out holding a 6-4 edge and Ami Cusack's alliance didn't blink. Rory was the first name they wrote down, voted out 6-4 in the very first individual Tribal, going home tenth as the last boot before the jury. The brutal part is the women's machine was built to pick off the men one a week, and it would've run the table too, if Chris Daugherty hadn't cracked it three boots later. Rory just went out too early to see the comeback.
