At 15 years old, he was cast for the 5th season of Endurance. Aric was chosen by the guys to skip the Right to Stay. In the partner selection, he got Lilly as a partner, and was happy, because she was a strong girl. They became the Yellow Team after that. Despite their potential to be a strong team, they did fairly average in challenges, and were weakened when they were chosen to go to the first Temple of Fate. Because Connor knew Darci's strategy, he gave it to the Yellow Team because they wanted Gray gone. At Temple, they survived.
