21st Place - Patrick

Welcome to Pre-Jury!

We are extremely sad to see you here. You have made such an impact in the series which is what makes you an All-Stars! Now, you will no longer be in the game or a part of jury but we invite you to follow the season along and comment your thoughts and predictions all throughout! If anyone would have asked me that you'd be the first one out of your tribe, I would called them a liar. We have some questions about your game-play and opinion on the game!


Who do you hold most accountable for your vote-off?
Did you see it coming?
What do you think the cause of your vote-off was?
How organized was your plan to get the target off your back? 
Who are your rooting for?
Who are you rooting against?
Do you think traveling and not being able to be on call as much had to do with it?
Who do you think voted for you or flipped?
Do you think it was the right decision?
Do you think it would've been the same result if Brady/John weren't in the game?
Since the start, you weren't feeling secure in your tribe - do you feel like since the get-go you were the odd man out?
Final Thoughts?


This makes your time in Season as a player, hopefully not as a viewer, thanks for playing!

Thanks for having me too, host friends!

I certainly hold Ricky most accountable for my vote-off. He picked his targets, rallied his goats, and got what he wanted as usual. He's very convincing. I definitely saw it coming - I knew I was one of 2 names going around, and Billy and Trevor both ghosted me leading up to tribal. Billy literally chatted me saying he "thought I was staying," and then disappeared when I asked if I could have his vote for security. My plan to get the target off my back was very organized, but it just didn't pan out. I focused on the votes that I felt were most important (Billy, Shon, Trevor, Travis) and didn't leave their chats all day. I had genuine convos with each of them where I made my case and tore down Ricky's points, but at the end of the day the tribe division itself put a massive target on my back and my tribe believed they had only one shot to get me out before I reconnected with "my bros". So they pulled the trigger.

I would LOVE to see Nate win this game. He's such a great guy, he's a good player, and he's learned a lot from his first season. I hope he can lay low and not overplay. I'm obviously also rooting for my good friends (Frances, John, Brady, Stephen, Ryan). I also really liked Adam and Travis from the conversations we had and would love to see them do well. Love Emily too, but she's not allowed to win again I'm definitely rooting against Ricky, Carley, Billy, Shon. I promise I'm not homophobic. Probably Billy the most, because he preached all day that he's a "genuine guy" and would certainly tell me what he was doing before tribal. Fake fucking friend! Trevor and Mike played me haaaaaard, but they worked hard at it and were impressive. No bitterness on my end. I do think most people made the right call, because those that weren't making an effort to connect with me I would have probably turned on anyways (Ricky, Carley, Shon, Billy).

I don't believe traveling had anything to do with me leaving - I made the call the moment I saw my tribe that I would be first out if we lost. I was targeted before I left, and had I been more available I probably would have tried TOO hard to save myself. I still put in more effort during my trip than plenty of people on my tribe. Had John and Brady not been in the game I think my position may have been a LITTLE bit better, but Ricky still would have targeted me - he would have just framed it differently.
