Ralph entered the game equally a member of the Zapatera tribe. On Day four, Ralph stumbled beyond the Hidden Amnesty Idol while collecting rocks. After winning that mean solar day's Amnesty Claiming, he witnessed Russell Hantz accept the clue to the idol out of the advantage basket and began to search for it, unaware that it was already in Ralph'south possession. While Russell and his allies searched, Ralph and the other 5 members of Zapatera conspired to throw the upcoming Amnesty Challenge, in order to eliminate him. Their plan would later on come to fruition on Mean solar day eight, where Ralph's alliance voted Russell out of the tribe.

The next day, Ralph was selected to attend Russell's Redemption Island duel, along with Sarita White. Afterward losing the duel, Russell began to reveal all of Zapatera'south secrets to the Ometepe tribe, including the fact that Ralph possessed the tribe'due south Subconscious Immunity Idol. While Ralph initially confirmed this, Sarita convinced him not to bear witness the idol in front of the other tribe. Ometepe's Phillip Sheppard then took this information back with him and shared it to the remainder of his tribe.

The Zapatera tribe would then keep an extensive losing streak, during which Ralph'southward alliance voted out Russell'south former allies Krista Klumpp and Stephanie Valencia. However, when Zapatera lost immunity on Day eighteen, Ralph's brotherhood was forced to vote out one of their ain. Despite virtually of the tribe voting out Sarita due to her poor challenge performance, Ralph voted for David Murphy, whose loyalty he was skeptical of.

Ralph later made the merge on Day 19, joining the Murlonio tribe. Although they entered the merge down in numbers, Ralph and the other Zapatera's attempted to pull Matt Elrod to their side after he had previously been voted out past Ometepe. Ralph also believed that the Ometepe alliance would vote against Mike Chiesl, who was the strongest former Zapatera, and decided to play his Hidden Immunity Idol on him. However, the Ometepe brotherhood decided to cast their votes against Matt, who had pondered defecting to Ralph'southward side. This move left Ralph still in the minority, and no idol to protect himself.

In the coming days, Ralph'south alliance was Pagonged past Ometepe until only he and Steve Wright remained. During this fourth dimension, Ralph continued to perform exceptionally well in Immunity Challenges, narrowly winning on several occasions. Thus, the former Ometepe members decided to target Ralph over Steve, believing that he could go along a potential immunity run after in the game. Thus, after Ralph lost immunity to Grant Mattos on Day 30, he was voted out 6-ii. On Redemption Island, Ralph survived his first duel, but was permanently eliminated on Day 33, afterward losing to Andrea Boehlke. He became the 4th member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Ralph did non seem to favor anyone out of the Last Three, but appreciated the fact that Phillip said that he was the nicest and hardest working member of Zapatera. Ralph ultimately voted for Phillip to exist the Sole Survivor, which was just enough to give Phillip 2d place to Rob, who won in an 8-1-0 vote.
