Survivor
In 2013, Moss was a contestant on the 27th season of Survivor, Survivor: Blood vs. Water, along with his girlfriend Kat Edorsson, who had previously competed on the show's 24th season, Survivor: One World.He was followed by Big Brother 16 contestant Caleb Reynolds who was a contestant on the 32nd season of Survivor,Survivor: Kaoh Rong.
He was placed on the "Tadhana" tribe along with the game's other new players. Kat was voted out while the two were on separate tribes, yet when presented with the option to allow her to take his place in the game, Moss stayed put on his tribe and Kat was eliminated after placing last in a challenge. After a tribe swap, Moss remained on the Tadhana tribe, along with fellow newcomers Caleb Bankston and Ciera Eastin, and returning players Tyson Apostol, Gervase Peterson, and Aras Baskauskas. Together, under Apostol's leadership, everyone on the tribe except for Baskauskas formed an alliance, under the common bond of having their loved ones voted out already. At the merge, the core alliance of five stayed together and successfully eliminated Baskauskas, his brother Vytas, Tina Wesson, and Eastin's mother Laura Morett for the second time. However, at the urging of Bankston, Moss decided that it was best to attempt to overthrow Apostol as a clear threat. Their first attempt failed, since Moss and Bankston were unable to convince Eastin to flip against Apostol, and when the two of them, along with Tina's daughter Katie Collins, attempted to vote out Ciera, Bankston was eliminated instead. With Bankston gone, Moss took control of the outsiders' alliance and finally convinced Eastin to vote with him and Collins against Monica Culpepper. However, this resulted in a stalemate of two consecutive tied votes, which led to Collins's elimination after a rock draw. With no one else left to turn to, Moss and Eastin tried to convince Culpepper to join them in eliminating Peterson as a final effort against Apostol, but she refused. Moss was voted out at the final five, and after losing the Redemption Island duel, came in 7th place as the 5th jury member. Eastin was eliminated next, completely ending Moss's alliance. In the final tribal council, Moss voted Apostol as the winner.
