Survivor
Landon started out the game on the Boran tribe. He led the tribe to their camp; which everyone had mixed emotions about. Over the first couple of days, Landon got along well with Kim Trejo, but he was annoying to the rest of the tribe. After losing the first immunity challenge, Landon was on the chopping block. He targeted Dirk Hale who wasn't social with the tribe. Landon received two votes from Dirk and Rob Patterson, but Landon's lobbying paid off and Dirk was eliminated.

Boran managed to win the next two immunity challenges and Landon was able to redeem himself as both an asset in challenges, as well as not being annoying around camp. Landon was getting along with everyone, but when they lost the fourth immunity challenge, he felt in danger again. Rob and Landon teamed up to take down Robyn Harris, who Rob thought was weak in challenges. Rob swung over CeCelia Taylor who also managed to convince Kim; Robyn’s closest ally. At tribal council, Robyn was unanimously voted off.

On Day 13, a tribe swap occurred. Landon and Kim swapped to the rival tribe, Samburu. They got along with their new tribemates, Faith Jackson and Garrett Klein. They unfortunately lost the next immunity challenge. Kim recruited Landon and Garrett into an alliance. At tribal council, Faith was unanimously voted off. After Faith’s elimination, the new trio knew they could control the game. They managed to win the next immunity challenge, allowing them to enter the merge.

The two tribes merged on Day 19 into a new tribe called Moto Maji. Landon met his new tribemate, Francine Sector, as well as seeing his old tribemates, CeCelia and Rob. Kim won the immunity challenge, granting her safe. Garrett and Kim invited Francine into their alliance and she accepted. Rob and CeCelia thought that Garrett was getting voted off; Landon and Kim even confirmed it. But at tribal council, the new alliance of four blindsided Rob. CeCelia was the outsider and was planned to go next. But Kim was afraid that after she was gone, Garrett and Francine would control the game. Landon won immunity and Kim convinced him to side with CeCelia and eliminate Francine. Landon wasn’t sure, but at tribal council, he sided with the girls and eliminated Francine.

At the final four, Garrett thought he lost his trust in Landon and Kim, but they told him they were only targeting Francine and were going to vote out CeCelia next. After Kim won immunity, the threesome unanimously voted off CeCelia. After going through their final rites of passage, the final three went to their final immunity challenge. It wasn’t long before Kim dropped out, leaving Landon and Garrett to win the challenge. Landon won immunity and was informed by Kim she wouldn’t be upset if he voted her out. Despite that, it was still hard for Landon to know who to vote out. At tribal council, Landon voted out Kim, fearing she would unanimously win the game; taking Garrett to the finals.

At the final tribal council, Landon only received Kim's vote to win the game. He ended up losing the game to Garrett in a 2-1 vote.
