Survivor
Once he arrived on the beach, Archie took a step back from the leadership role, letting Gretchen take charge as he adjusted himself to life in Survivor. He grew slightly frustrated when there were complaints about the shelter but didn't want to upset anyone. He also got along well with Sarah and Betty, who he found were easy to talk to.

In the challenges, Pagong soon began to lose repeatedly and their numbers dwindled. Archie was concerned he'd be voted off as he wasn't the most physical. On day 12 Pagong decided instead to vote out Betty. Not feeling comfortable with this, Archie refused at first and found himself questioned by his tribe. Feeling vulnerable, he wrote Betty's name down but his tribe opted to send him home as they didn't think he was being loyal.
