Chapter One - In the airport, Ace immediately went to Hillary when she was disgusted by Lacey, who was drooling Ace voted for Lacey. Ace was put on the Soaring Tree Frogs tribe. He made the fire for his team during the challenge.

However, he later corrected himself saying he was hanging by his toe. The Tree Frogs won immunity.

Chapter Two - Ace's story was only believed to be true by Bozo and Jess. Frasier and "Bulldog" were not convinced. Ace was terrified when "Bulldog" put a fake snake in the boys' hut. During the challenge, Ace passed out on the ladder. Ace voted for "Bulldog," but received two votes from Frasier and "Bulldog."

Chapter Three - Ace volunteered to pull the skull out of the boys' hut, that "Bulldog" left there. He then read the note "Bulldog" left. During the challenge, Ace went into the mud twice, but got no puzzle piece bags. His team won immunity and reward.

During the challenge, Ace went to look for Niles, the boys' flag, and called him a dork. Ace was tagged by Jocelyn. The Alpha Males won immunity and reward.

Chapter Seven - Ace, like the other guys, was sick of fish, and was impressed when James caught a pig. Ace was one of several people to risk losing the swimming challenge to save Jocelyn. Despite this, the Alpha Males won immunity and all the pizza they could eat.

Chapter Eight - Ace was one of the guys trying to become leader of the Alpha Males tribe. He said he deserved to be the team captain because he's been all over the world. Frasier said that, "(Ace's) sandbox doesn't count." At the challenge, Ace claimed to fight Australians who could bench press five hundred pounds (which Frasier didn't believe.) Ace had to sit in a crate full of snakes, but he failed. When the Alpha Males lost, Ace challenge Elvis, who just became the team's captain, to pick who they should vote out. Ace voted for Frasier and said, “Now who is going to sit around and say I’m a liar? You know the truth, Frasier. Accept it!”

Chapter Twelve - During the challenge, Ace was revealed to believe that James is the most likely to win a jury vote. Most people voted that Ace was doing worst in the new environment. Ace voted for Nathaniel.

Chapter Thirteen - Ace thought that it was unfair that Ed and Lacey could return to the contest. During the challenge, he was concerned about Susan, who was terrified due to their height. Ace fell off when reaching for his hat. Ace decided to vote for Ed, and got James to vote that way. Ace tried to initiate his alliance with Hillary, but she didn't vote with him.

Chapter Fourteen - Ace came up with a plan that would get Ed voted off - have him hit on Hillary, so she'd want to vote him off. Ace also formed an alliance with Niles and James. During the challenge, Ace lost in the second round. Ace voted for Ed.

Chapter Fifteen - Ace decided that his alliance would need to vote out all of Susan 's alliance. Ace was disqualified from the challenge after doing it incorrectly. Ace told his alliance to vote off Susan, but Niles started a rebellion which caused Ace's plan to fail. Ace voted for for Susan.

Chapter Sixteen - Ace congratulated Niles on his strategy to eliminate Bozo. However, Ace later told his alliance that Niles needed to be the next to be eliminated. Ace pulled himself across the tightrope as opposed to walking. Niles tried to hit Ace with a rock, but ended up crushing his own foot. When Niles screamed, Ace became frightened and fell. Niles tricked Ace into thinking Lacey had an immunity idol. Ace voted for Lacey.

Chapter Seventeen - Ace thought it was amusing that James and Hillary, two bitter enemies, were being forced to share a reward together. Ace decided that he wanted to make the rest of his time on the show as adventure-filled as possible, which started with making a fire for the camp and sleeping in a tree. He was paired with Jocelyn in the dancing challenge. She gave him a makeover, instead of the two practicing a dance. The makeover resulted in Ace losing a large chunk of his hair and red berry juice on his face. He tried to do an Amazonian dance, but only got two points. Ace agreed to Jocelyn's plan to vote off Hillary, but Jocelyn convinced almost everyone else to vote off Ace. Ace read a poem at Tribal Council, before he was voted off. Ace was happy that he could call himself a real adventurer, and left.
