Kaden Aarons

, is a contestant from Survivor: Ice Kingdom

Survivor: Ice Kingdom
Kaden started the game on the Flake tribe where he was brought into the majority alliance due to being a good physical player. With this alliance, he contributed to the vote outs of Sarah Parkinson and Rachel Anderson. Flake then won the next two challenges. Kaden then decided to try and make a move himself by targeting Yusef Al-Wazam for being a weak link. Although not successful at first, he eventually got his way and Yusef was voted out at the 2nd time of asking. This however, showed his tribe that he was capable of making a move which nerved some members. Although wanting to take out Xang Lee, Bradley Sting knew he had an idol and created a split-vote plan, putting 3 votes on Kaden and Xang. Kaden managed to survive the split vote but was then voted out at the Mock Tribal with Barnaby Thomas and the two were swapped to the Snow tribe.

He and Kaden figured they were on the bottom but were saved when Ighalo Mustaff and Desmond O'Sullivan recruited them into a 2-round alliance to take out Alicia Mossa for attempting to rally the women against them. Snow then won an Immunity Challenge and Kaden was then swapped back to Flake. At this new tribe, Kirsty Parly and Isaac Waterfield were the two main targets. Not wanting to risk another women's alliance threat, Kaden voted for Kirsty Parly and she was eliminated that night.

The following day, it was announced that the tribes had merged. Kaden initially found himself in the 'Athletes alliance' with Bradley, Ellie Wyatt and Desmond. With fairly strong connections around the tribe, Kaden got through the first few rounds without receiving a vote against him. During this time, he made a final 2 pact with three different people - Ighalo, Isaac and Helen Hunt. Unknowingly however, Isaac was voted out at the following Tribal Council in a close 5-4 vote. Kaden was feeling very angry that this had happened but realised that he had to control his emotions in order to advance. To add insult to injury, Helen then became the next target which Kaden reluctantly went along with. But, due to Helen's idol play, she saved herself and send Desmond home instead.

Kaden could "envision the finish line" at this point and knew that only a few more eliminations stood between him and the 1 Million Mangabucks. Melanie Tika was voted out at the next Tribal Council because of her association with Helen. At the Final 6, Ighalo and Barnaby talked Kaden into a plan to blindside Bradley and Ellie at the next two votes. Sure enough, the 3 dudes got together to take out Bradley at 6 and Ellie at 5. After Barnaby won his 2nd Immunity Challenge, Helen was voted out 3-1 due to Kaden flipping on her last second.

Kaden seized his opportunity to make it to the end and got Ighalo and Barnaby to each promise him a seat at the Final Tribal Council. Barnaby then won the Immunity Challenge and had a choice to make. Kaden was confident it would be but so was Ighalo. During Tribal Council, Barnaby asked each finalist why he should take them over the other. Ighalo said that it would be 'respecting the game' whereas Kaden argued that he had already promised him and that Barnaby would probably beat him. To Kaden's surprise, Barnaby chose to keep Ighalo, sending him to the Jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Kaden warned Barnaby that one small decision would cost him the game. He proved to be right as his vote for Ighalo contributed to his win over Barnaby in a 6-4 vote. In an online poll, it was confirmed that Kaden was the Fan Favorite of the season, receiving an additional 250,000 Mangabucks.
