Patricia started the game on the Maraamu tribe. Everyone quickly realized that they had not been provided food or water and later discovered their food source was plentiful fruit trees. She was impressed by Hunter Ellis when he took on a leadership role. On Day 2, Maraamu made fire. Later, the tribe found the water source. It was a small creek that was barely noticeable. At the first Immunity Challenge, Maraamu dropped their torch in the water, sending them to Tribal Council. Peter Harkey started lecturing the tribe on how to vote out someone. Patricia got the impression that Peter was going to vote against her because of her gender, age, and physique. The speech worked against Peter and he was voted out in a 5-2-1 vote.
After receiving votes against herself at the previous Tribal Council, Patricia became more authoritative. This annoyed Sean Rector and Vecepia Towery, though her work ethic impressed Hunter. Rotu barely beat out Maraamu at the Reward Challenge. Maraamu lost immunity again because Rob Mariano was unable to eat fafaru. Patricia agreed with Hunter about sending Sarah Jones home due to her laziness. Unfortunately for Patricia, Rob formed an alliance with Sarah, Sean, and Vecepia. They targeted the truck assembler for her allegiance with Hunter, for her bossiness, and for being a weak link in challenges. Patricia was voted out in a 4-3 vote.
