SS5: Guatemala[]
In SS5 he was selected to return along with 9 other second chance players. Before the game started, Lex formed an alliance with Zoe until the tribes were mixed with both newbies and returnees. He was placed on the Yaxhá tribe along with fellow returnees Brenda, Laura, Tyson, and Julia, who voted him out last time he played, as well as newbies Stephenie, Natalie, David and Gervase. Yaxhá won the first two immunities and Lex got along with many of his tribe mates, especially Stephenie and Gervase. When Yaxhá lost, Lex wanted to get rid of Julia and this time around Lex beat fellow SS4 contestant Julia as she was voted out in a vote of 6-2, where ironically Lex voted with Julia. Yaxhá then proceeded to win the next immunity and made merge. When the tribes merged Lex saw that Tom was at the bottom of the Nakúm tribe and decided to offer a helping hand. When Brenda won immunity, Tom knew he was on the chopping block where Lex tried to help him by trying to get the votes to take Candice out. That plan failed, as many felt Tom was a threat and when it came time to vote, Lex sided with the majority in voting Tom. After the second immunity challenge, Laura won but so did Lex, as he found the hidden immunity idol. He then formulated a plan to get rid of Candice since he realized Tyson and the vets were going to vote for Gervase. He then went against the veterans and voted Candice along with Natalie, Stephenie, Gervase and Brenda, whom Lex did not know was voting Candice. All though, Lex wanted everyone to switch their votes to Fabio, thinking an idol would be played and when it was time to reveal the votes, Laura played an idol saving Candice and blindsiding Brenda.
