Logan Hatch

== Summary ==
Logan Hatch is a contestant from New Beginnings. He flopped in 2021 but proved to be a huge force to be reckoned with in 2024.
== Gameplay ==
=== New Beginnings ===
Logan started the game on the Penis Tribe. He performed average in the challenges and stayed strong with his tribe. He tried to create an alliance with Kailani, but this obviously failed as she quit a day later. After Manny's elimination, he was gifted the Legacy Advantage. Throughout the game, he had been losing interest due to the player's lack of participation and enthusiasm. After losing on Day 4, he asked for his tribe to vote him off. Per his wishes, he was sent home in a 6-1 vote, placing 10th overall. He gifted the Legacy Advantage to Regan Glennon.
=== Y2K ===
==== Iconic Return ====
After two and a half years, Logan returned to compete on Y2K. He placed 10th as a pre-juror on his previous season, New Beginnings which was heavily underdeveloped. Now participating in a modern season, he was ready to give it his all as a member of the Favorites Tribe. He wasted no time, too, as the Scavenger Hunt was the very first challenge and he went for the joke entry, the credit card front and back, for two hundred points. He found a loophole and used an expired card with uncovered numbers, and secured immunity for the Favorites! Logan had an amazing reception in Music Mania and was in good with the tribe as a whole. Worst case scenario, he was a part of Jessica’s safety net alliance to take out Ollie, who was really starting to get on everybody’s nerves. On Day 7, he swapped onto Richie and only continued to dominate. He aligned with best friend Josh and Gauntlet icon Stella in case they lost to vote off Ollie. He performed extremely well as a member of the Richie Tribe and was in good relations with pretty much every member (excluding Ollie). He survived MASC without contracting the flu. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about his tribemate Chelsea. Day 13 was a great day for Richie as well as Logan as a whole. He found the Richie hidden immunity idol! In addition, his yapping over Joe Biden and other US political figures worked as Ben simply couldn't take it anymore and sent them in Celebrity Recognition. He supported his tribe during Supersona, which they won, and then things began to take a turn at the merge.
==== Villain Arc ====
As a former member of the Favorites and Richie, Logan had great social standing amongst the Spears Tribe. Ollie being the first merge boot went smoothly and as the auction occurred next, he beefed with Josh over how the math worked behind the bids. Josh ended up being objectively correct in the matter. The last item available was the Knowledge Is Power advantage, which turned out to not appeal to many people. Logan ended up purchasing it for a mere $20, and he was going to prove its value later in the season. Leo placed him on the genius Family Feud team, and he won immunity. Unfortunately, the plan he understood to blindside Angel failed as Chelsea got voted off instead by Lady's alliance. The perpetrator got medically evacuated the following cycle, and by the time Day 24 rolled around, Logan was finally set on solidifying his resume by making a big move in the game. The whole time, he had a secret weapon: Kailani Farrell, aka his failed alliance from 2021. Josh had always yapped to Kailani about the game at work, and Kailani just fed all the information to Logan. Aware of his three idols, Logan played his Knowledge Is Power at tribal council and stole one, kicking off Double Birthday. Josh physically watched Logan take his idol and try to sabotage him on his own birthday as he sat across the table. He played the stolen idol on Angel and his own idol on himself. He worked with Angel and Emily to vote off Stella as she was Josh's close ally, but not Josh himself. However, this chain of events prompted Josh to play his (now two) idols on himself and Stella. The idol plays along with immunity left only Leo and Kai eligible for the revote. Logan pushed for Leo, but Kai ended up taking the fall that night. From then on, lines were officially drawn, and it was clear that Logan and Josh would be in a feud until one of them is cut from the game.
==== Espionage & Defeat ====
Still with Angel and Emily as his allies, Logan knew he needed one more member to have majority. He recruited Kathlyn as he believed she was the least likely to make it into top three among the opposition, The Ultimate Sigmas. The quartet became known as KALE, as the name used the first initial of each member. Unfortunately, Kathlyn was an undercover spy as her true loyalty laid with the Sigmas. She sabotaged the attempted Josh blindside by feeding them information, and Josh played his new idol and Emily was sent home. Although the votes cast revealed a mole, Kathlyn was able to get Logan as well as Angel to believe that Emily was the mole and screwed herself. This worked, and Kathlyn continued to work undercover. Things began to look up for Logan as he acquired the new hidden immunity idol via an Eminem clue, which he beat Kathlyn to. He played the idol for himself, but a vote split sent Angel home, and he finally understood that Kathlyn had been playing him the whole time. He essentially gave in and was voted out next, becoming the seventh member of the jury. He was torn between Kathlyn and Josh, but ultimately voted for Josh to win! His efforts did not go unnoticed by any extent. Attempting to absolutely obliterate someone's game in the middle of their own birthday party while you are attending in real life in real time is absolutely insane. He received the Villain Award at the end of the season, and Kailani's plotting and Prevites betrayal proved to be valuable in creating one of the most iconic moments in Gauntlet history.
