| - Scooter was confident that he would survive the Right to Stay challenge. At about the five minute mark, he became the second contestant to allow his bar to fall too low. Unlike David, he was able to hang on to the bar and dangle over the water. Soon after, Glen lost his balance and fell in. The final guy to fall directly into the water was Trey, making Scooter one of the official contestants. In the partner selection, like all the other males, he wanted Jacquelynn for a teammate. However, in Wash Out, he caught the first ball, the Blue one, and was partnered with Christa as the Blue Team. Christa saw Scooter as "a one man team" and didn't believe they would get along well. When Max and Jenna returned to Endurance 2, Scooter disapproved of it, and was hell-bent on eliminating them, because he believed they already got a chance on E1. Blue Team did average in Tower of Power, but gained ground near the end. They were spared from being in the Temple of Fate. In Fireball, Christa caught the first two balls, and Scooter told her to eliminate Brown and Yellow, despite Calley trying to get him to eliminate Purple. They were ultimately eliminated in the third round by the Purple Team, and Scooter was visibly upset by it. However, they were spared from the Samadhi. In Rollerball, Blue didn't do as well, not having a ball roll into their basket, but were spared from Temple. In the next episode, they got the Discipline piece from their fallen allies on the Red Team, who said Scooter "had so much heart". Soon afterwards, everyone starts worrying about the Blue Team and what they're going to do, to which Scooter wants to take out all the teams. In the mission that followed, Tide Pull, Scooter believed they were going to do well, then targeted Calley along with Michelle to eliminate Yellow. However, four teams, Green, Yellow, Brown, and Purple targeted Blue, and they were eliminated soon afterwards. After the mission, Scooter comments on this as how the Blue Team was superior to all the other teams. Meanwhile, he talked to Max, who won the mission, who said he was willing to not give Blue the Samadhi if they won't sent Brown to Temple. Max also mentions he would make sure Yellow wouldn't send Blue to Temple if they won, saying if they did, he "would backstab them harder than they have ever been backstabbed." Ultimately, however, Brown gave the Blue Team the Samadhi, a ten-second penalty for the next Temple Mission. Scooter then scoffs it off, saying it wasn't a big deal. However, everyone seemed to get on edge about Scooter the next day, even Christa lamented how everybody disliked Scooter. In the mission that followed, On the Ropes, the Samadhi was redundant as Scooter managed to get far in the challenge, to the point where he clashed with Max on the Brown Team on the second to last hole. However, Brown ended up winning by a close hair, ensuring the Blue Team was a likely candidate to go up to Temple, which they did, alongside their allies on the Purple Team. Scooter started plotting his revenge, as he wanted to send up Brown and Yellow the next chance he gets, and stated if the Blue Team were to come back from Temple, they're in it for themselves. Despite winning the first round, Purple beat them in the next two to eliminate the Blue Team. Before he left, Scooter told the Purple Team to "finish what [they] have started".
