Shea was one of the 14 to survive the right to stay challenge.  Then, at the partner choosing challenge, Amelia Land, and him spoke up and said that they wanted each other, so JD allowed them to be the first team automatically without taking part in the partner selection challenge and even let them choose their colour (Amelia let Shea pick and he choose Blue). 

They made an alliance with the Gray Team, but when it got exposed, they were the targets alongside the Gray Team.  After Purple won the first temple mission, both teams got sent to the Temple.  Blue Team came out on top and Gray would give them their pyramid piece. Following Gray's elimination, Blue did not appear to be as much of a target anymore though their lack of success in missions did get branded as an underdog team and thus were not chosen by Red to be on their superteam and instead were teamed with other perceived underdogs Purple and Orange. However, a mistake by the Red-Green-Yellow Superteam allowed Blue, along with Purple and Orange, to win the superteam mission. Like Jonathan, Shea did not want to send both Green and Yellow to temple. Their request was granted as only Yellow was sent along with Red to temple though Yellow was the one who ended up getting eliminated.

By the final 5, Isaac and Amelia were shown to be close though Shea seemed to also be friends with Isaac. Shea instead wanted Orange gone, whom the others considered Michael a rat for shifting allegiances. In Waterworks, Blue was the third team to complete the challenge, avoiding a penalty which ended up going to Purple, meaning the latter would go to temple if they didn't win the following temple mission. Isaac, whose team won the mission, asked Shea's opinion on who he should give the samadhi to and he suggested Red due to their strength and for coming in second in that day's mission. Green ended up doing so. In Fireball, Shea was the ball thrower for Blue. Amelia was unable to catch the ball in the first round while Green and Orange did. As Isaac didn't want to get rid of Purple and Jeszie didn't want to get rid of Red, Blue was eliminated. When Green won mission, and had to choose a team to join Purple (who were eliminated in the challenge by Orange, thus invoking their penalty), Jeszie wanted to send Blue but Isaac convinced her to send Orange instead.

In the final 4, Shea continued to express loyalty to Green, even telling Isaac that if Blue won a mission, they would not target Green. Isaac's friendship with Blue caused part of a fight with Jeszie after they won Hang Five as Jeszie didn't want to give the samadhi to Red while Isaac refused to give it to either Blue or Purple. While Amelia volunteered to take it to stop the fighting, Green instead gave it to Red when Erika also volunteered to take it. After Purple won Cubed, Shea expressed disappointment with Blue's lack of success, noting they had only won the superteam mission and said it would be a shame if Blue was eliminated then. He was proud though to at least make it to the final 4. While Daniela wanted to send Green along with Red to temple, Blue was ultimately sent instead. The Blue Team was eliminated at the Temple of Fate, against the Red Team.  In the next episode, they left their pieces to the Green Team.
