Vicente's Portrait (art done by BadLuckAE)

## **Appearance**

Vicente is on the taller side of the contestants, reaching 5'8" (173cm). He's also pretty muscular, so he isn't a pushover athletically or anything. He has tan skin with medium-length, messy blonde hair with black tips that resides under his fedora. His eyes are a striking red, which gives him a slightly menacing look. He typically wears a blue tee with a band's logo on it, a grey jacket, black pants, and white running shoes. He also has a scar of unknown origin on the left side of his face.

## **Personality**

Vicente is a genuinely nice guy who has no intentions of being rude or sneaky towards his fellow contestants. He often keeps an eye out for mischievous people, but at the same time, he's a bit too trusting, as seen in L and L on Lockdown, when he falls for Tony's trap. He tries to take on a leader position in his team while he's with them, as seen in Space Monkey, the Funky Monkey, when he comes up with the plan for his team to win the challenge. He's often confident at times, and tries to be fearless and try his best to succeed.

## **History**

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 1

Vicente was one of the first half of the astronauts to reveal himself to everyone. He looks rather intense compared to the others, though he greeted everyone happily and offput them. Chris noted him as a "cool guy."

He was placed on the Atomic Penguins when Chris announced the teams.

He had the second confessional of the season, where he noted it as a nice place to hide from the paparazzi.

Though not shown in the episode, when everyone is picking their rooms, Vicente ends up in between Flint and Natt's rooms, while across from Crustacean's.

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 2

Vicente doesn't make an appearance in this episode until his team got the medallion, thanks to Tony, when he cheers for their team.

He's next seen in the confessional, where he mentions that, as long as his team plays it safe, they'll win the first challenge and that it's "simple reality show rules."

He's last spotted with Dusty as they come to the area that Taylor screamed in, looking for her. He and his partner are then ambushed and he get's blasted away by Taylor, Damien, and Nicolás.

### Moon Rockin'

Vicente is one of the first contestants to make an appearance in this episode when he questions Tony about his fancy steak dinner. He also has the first confessional of the episode, where he says he believes Tony is a threat.

Later on, during the challenge, he questions why Alexis doesn't want to grab any regular rocks and instead only picks up silver rocks.

When their bag rips, Vicente gets agitated with her and says "what did we tell you?"

Later, in the elimination ceremony, Vicente receives his marshmallow and thanks Chris with a smile on his face, though it was clear that he was never worried about being eliminated.

Vicente voted for Alexis in the elimination ceremony, along with everyone except Alexis herself.

### An Anne-tastic Game of Capture the Flag

When Chef is delegating roles to the contestants, Vicente gets picked as one of the flag carriers for his team.

He's the first carrier that a thief goes after, the thief being Nicolás. While said thief did sneak up on him, he tripped and alerted Mr. Reality TV, who, after an awkward pause, blasted his enemy in the face with slime and said that he can do better than that.

Much later in the challenge, he finds himself in the Bio-Dome, where he's knocked out by Haley and has his flag taken.

### Space Monkey, that Funky Monkey

Vicente is first seen questioning the existence of Space Monkey Island, saying that he never would've imagined hearing that existed in all his reality tv show years. After the challenge starts, he's quick to come up with a plan for the team to succeed in the challenge. He suggests that Flint, Dusty, and Benjamin, being the most athletic of all the team, should do the actual catching. He then says that Gretchen and Natt should scare the monkey towards their teammates, since they're the tallest. He also instructs Liz to make a sedative for the monkey, which he tells Anne and Crustacean to administer. He finally says that he and Tony will search for the banana tree on the island while the team deals with the monkey, so they can head right to it after.

Later, after his team has caught the monkey, he lets them know that the tree is in the dead center of the island, which is near Chris's left eye.

When he's being commended for his leading skills, he's unsure of how to react when Flint says he needs to work on his flair.

### L and L on Lockdown

Vicente is briefly mentioned as having great leadership skills in the recap of the previous episode.

He tells Liz to say sorry to Gretchen for dropping the stink bomb in front of her door.

He agrees that the team should volunteer Liz as hostage due to her small stature.

He suggests both Dusty and Gretchen be the guards for the door, saying that they're both capable and tough. After this, Tony seems annoyed by his leadership, and says that he is "good competition" in the confessional, and that he needs to do something about him before he gets too problematic.

When the challenge starts, Tony pulls him aside and suggests that they search for Liz together, as they did good finding the banana tree together, which he agrees to.

Later on, while their team is trying to break in through the main entrance to Chris's room, Tony pulls him aside and says there is another entrance to the room and leads him away from the team, saying that, if they bring the whole team, the guards will get suspicious. Vicente hesitantly agrees to this.

When Tony showed him the secret hall, he was shocked to see it, noting that it was something "new" for him. When Tony leaves, he runs through the corridor, which Chef opens the exit to, and knocks the co-host over by bumping into him. He was confused to see Liz not there, and panicked when Sebastian grabbed Luna and freed her.

When Gretchen and Dusty are suspicious of his actions, he insists that it was Tony's fault, though the conman appears with the rest of the team, successfully throwing off all doubt of himself. He yells at the villain, who tells him to calm down.

In the confessional, he notes that, even though things are over for him, he'll still warn his team about Tony before he leaves.

At the elimination ceremony, his entire team glares at him angrily while he prepares to reveal what Tony has done. He glares at Tony when the two are at the bottom of the marshmallow list.

When he takes his walk of shame, he turns to tell his team of Tony's misdeeds, but Chef knocks him out on "accident" for knocking him over earlier. His unconscious body is loaded into the escape pod by Chris and Chef before he's sent away.

Vicente voted for Tony in the elimination ceremony, though no one else did.

### A Martian Marathon

Chris mentions Vicente several times in the previous episode recap, noting that Tony made him throw the challenge to get him out early.

### Mini-Episode: Sparring Partner

Vicente is briefly mentioned by Haley, saying he's too invested in resort life.

## **Trivia**

* Despite his label, Vicente actually placed the lowest out of everyone on his team after Alexis returned, only getting 20th place overall.
* There is a meta running joke where people have called Vicente "Who?" instead of his real name. This is due to people sometimes forgetting he was even on the show, due to his low placement and general lack of screen-time, to the point where we're not sure if he had any friends when he left.
	+ This is ironic, given his label as The Reality Show Veteran and his biography stating that he was constantly in the spotlight to the point of being hounded by the paparazzi before Space Station.
	+ Funnily enough in the episode Aste-run when Tony is mentioning the people he's sabotaged, he doesn't mention Vicente.
* Vicente placed sixth in the first popularity poll, along with eight other characters.
