Gabe

## *Skatevivor* Career

**Gabe** is the Sole Survivor of *Skatevivor: Freaks and Geeks*, the first season of Skatevivor.

## Profile

**Name:** Gabe

**Age:** 17

**Pronouns:** he/him

**Timezone:** GMT+1

**Starting tribe:** Geeks

**What do you do for fun?** well I love drawing, solving riddles, watching cartoons.. I only started playing orgs earlier this year but I'm a bit addicted to discord now so I guess playing Survivor orgs is kind of an hobby also haha

**What is your strategy coming into the game?** being able to connect with people easily is my strongest quality in orgs, so I feel like I always have to be social (hopefully not too much).. I think obviously I should lay low before the merge (being elected - officially or unoficcially - as the "tribe leader" for example is usually not a good idea) and I'll have to fly a little bit UTR *especially* during the early merge (PLEASE PLEASE let me survive a few rounds after the merge i don't wanna be an early juror for the third or fourth time)

**What character from any media do you relate to most and why?** i'll choose Coach Wade, except that I don't piss people off . I relate to him a little bit because sometimes I make some weird and crazy decisions that make people look at me and my game and think like what the fuck is gabe doing. sometimes these wild decisions work very well, and sometimes they bite me hard in the ass. but either way for me it's the game I have the most fun playing. also I think Coach has a very deep understanding of how Survivor works (see SoPa, ignore Tocantins) but people underestimate his strategic mind. hopefully people will underestimate me too

**Would you rather get to the end and be hated or get voted out early and be loved?** always be loved lol I can't deal with hate

## Survivor

As a member of the Geeks Tribe, Gabe immediately worked on building a relationship with Nathan. They had previously played together on two different seasons of *Jorvivor,* where Nathan voted Gabe out of both. The two made it clear that the past was in the past and that they both wanted to work together. Gabe also built up a relationship with both Bella and Mia, and the three formed an alliance early in the game called The Acute Triangles.

With the Geeks' challenge strength sparing them from the first two Tribal Councils, Gabe rose to the top of most of his tribemates' trust rankings and agreed to a Final Two deal with West. Gabe was interested in working with Clay, but Clay's general inactivity made it difficult for any sort of working relationship to form between the two.

In the third cycle, Gabe was added to a six-person majority alliance called Sixth Sense with Nathan, Bella, Becky Lee, Eric and Mia. Gabe worried about West being left out of this alliance, but planned to protect West and keep them close for as long as he could. When the Geeks finally attended Tribal that round, Clay was booted unanimously due to his inactivity and voted against Gabe on his way out.

At Swap, Gabe swapped to Freaks 2.0 with fellow OG Geeks West, Eric, and Mamba, and met up with Liam, who he had previously played *Jorvivor* with. Morgs, West, Liam, and Gabe soon formed a majority alliance called Geeky Freaky I Need A Leaky. The four OG Geeks formed another majority alliance called The Greaks. After no one took the Greed necklace, the vote was unclear on the Freaks 2.0 tribe. Morgs and Liam wanted Mamba gone due to her inactivity, while Gabe and West wanted Steph out in order to protect their OG tribemate Mamba. Geeky Freaky I Need A Leaky ended up Tatsuing the vote between Steph and Mamba, with Tatsu choosing Steph and Gabe and West getting their way.

Upon merging, Bella, Liam, Gabe, Nathan, and Becca (all *Jorvivor* alumni) formed a majority alliance with Morgs called Slick Six. Once again, Gabe's ally West was excluded from this alliance, but Gabe told them about its existence to maintain trust. Gabe solved the Merge idol clue puzzle, but West grabbed the idol at Tribal Council before he could. After Eric left the game and Fetty was voted out in 10th place due to general inactivity, the Slick Six was in full control of the game.

After Bella lost her vote in the Auction at the Final 9, Liam and Gabe saw an opportunity to take control of the game and shake things up. Becky Lee also sought revenge for Mia's blindside in the pre-merge. Gabe and Liam pulled in Becky Lee, West, Mamba, and Morgs to form a new majority and blindside Bella in a 6-1-1, leaving Becca and Nathan in the dark and on the bottom of the tribe.

After Bella's blindside, Becca and Nathan were angry at Gabe and Liam for their betrayal. Gabe struggled with the emotions of the game when he saw how hurt Becca and Nathan were. Around this time, Liam and Gabe began contemplating when to flush West's idol. Becca emerged as an easy target at the following Tribal Council and was voted out unanimously, leaving Nathan as the last remaining member of the Becca/Bella/Nathan trio.

At the Final 7, Nathan thought he was dead in the water, but Liam and Gabe decided to flush West's idol after they lost immunity to weaken them and oust West's close ally Morgs. Liam played his Extra Vote to more effectively split the votes, and Gabe told West to play their idol on themself. Two votes against West were negated, and Morgs was sent out of the game in a 3-~~2~~-2-1 vote.

Initially, West thought Gabe was on their side when they told them to play the idol, and Gabe tried to maintain the illusion that he truly thought West needed to play their idol. However, West recognized Gabe's parchment and realized they had been betrayed by Gabe. After West won a clutch immunity at the Final Six, Gabe initially planned to throw his vote on Mamba to avoid having to vote out Nathan, but ultimately changed his vote to Nathan before the deadline. Nathan reacted negatively to Gabe's parchment for him, making Gabe feel even worse about having to vote Nathan out.

Gabe won the Final Five Inferno challenge, and West was voted out unanimously as a physical threat despite their best efforts to save themselves. Liam won the Final Immunity Challenge, and Gabe realized his close ally would likely cut him and take Mamba and Becky Lee to the end. His fears were confirmed when Liam told Gabe that he would most likely be voted out. Gabe scrambled hard to try to get one of Mamba or Becky Lee to let him make fire. Mamba couldn't bring herself to vote for Gabe initially, so she planned to throw her vote on Becky Lee, potentially forcing fire against Gabe and Becky Lee. Liam momentarily convinced her to vote for Gabe, but at the last second Mamba intentionally self-voted (which was not against the rules of *Skatevivor* at the time).

At the same time, Gabe convinced Becky Lee to change her vote from him to Mamba at the very last second, and Gabe voted Becky Lee. Gabe expected to blindside Becky Lee in a 2-1-1 vote if Mamba voted with him. Instead, Mamba's self vote sent herself out of the game in a 2-1-1 vote.

At Final Tribal Council, Gabe highlighted his strategic control of the game and his willingness to betray his allies to further his own game. The Jury was critical of all the finalists, and many jurors criticized Gabe for his emotional parchments and many betrayals.

At the Reunion, Gabe became *Skatevivor*'s first Sole Survivor in a 5-1-0 vote.
