With three strong seasons under his belt, Kyland has earned a spot in the top 30.

On USA 1, he won a pair of missions with Angela and Alyssa, and also won an elimination with Azah over Javonny/Cely. But he and Kyra lost to Leo/Alyssa midway through the season.

Kyland was targeted early and often on Battle For a New Champion, but was able to take out Hughie, Zara, and mercenaries Darrell and Brad. But he fell short of the final, losing the second-to-last elimination to Nurys.

Kyland had his best season on Battle of the Eras. He thrived in the individual portion of the game, winning two missions and finishing second two other times. He also won eliminations against Darrell and Devin.

He had a rough performance in the swim-heavy final, finishing last behind Jordan, Derek C and Bananas.

Other than swimming, Kyland has shown no holes in his game competitively and has proven he can go toe-to-toe against the best of the best.
