Nate Washburn

**Nate Washburn** is currently a contestant on Survivor: Evolution and was a contestant on Survivor: Summer Solstice.

Even though Nate had a strong start to his game in *Survivor: Summer Solstice*, it was the same strength that alarmed his tribemates. This, alongside his aggressively paranoid campaigns against those who wanted to work with him, ended up causing Nate's demise.

## Survivor: Summer Solstice

Nate started the game on Tribe Asini with Aleks, Liz, Ryan, Tyler, and returnee Corey, all given a sneak peek at their first challenge. Nate strategized for this and bonded with his tribemates at camp, something that could be an argument for their eventual first immunity win, with Nate being a major reason for their success. At camp, after exclaiming to the cameras "I CAME HERE TO WIN!", he privately stated his confidence in his challenge abilities while calling out Corey for his already aggressive strategic gameplay, making Nate nervous about keeping Corey long-term, especially since he believed Corey had a hidden immunity idol, as he planned to target Aleks due to his knowledge of the landscape they were playing in. What he did not know was that Aleks was targeting Nate as well, believing him to be a challenge threat for the future, and Liz wanted to align with Nate due to his friendly nature.

At the next challenge, Nate's strength helped his tribe keep and extend their lead, leading to them winning immunity as a storm overtook the game, leading to everyone taking shelter together. At camp, Corey and Nate feuded over how they both had heard that the other was saying their name, despite Nate trying to convince a skeptical Corey that he was not saying his name and that he wanted Aleks and Ryan out for Aleks' location knowledge and Ryan's "sneaky" gameplay and potentially having the hidden immunity idol. Nate continued to try to get Corey on his side, but he was very skeptical of Nate and even got Nate to tell him that he did not have the idol. At the next challenge, Nate once again had a strong showing that helped Asini win immunity for a third time. At camp, although he seemed happy with his tribe after another win, Nate was privately predicted a merge and wanted to keep winning despite him not planning on going with his tribe at a merge, as he was worried Corey and Ryan were saying his name and wanted Corey out for his powerful strategic gameplay. What was ironic was that the both of them were also targeting Nate, with his fast and aggressive gameplay being too threatening for them, and even for Tribe Susu, as Connor made it seem as if they now had a rivalry after voting out Aaron.

At the next challenge, Tribe Asini finally lost, and Nate privately took responsibility and planned to vote Aleks or Corey. At camp, Corey targeted Nate due to him believing Nate was targeting him, and Aleks saw Nate as a major threat for his challenge prowess and influence on their tribe. In private, Nate knew his end was near, and thought to vote Aleks or Ryan due to him thinking Corey wanted to align with him. When the two talked, with an agreed idea to vote Aleks, Nate told Corey he told the others that he believed Corey was a powerful player for his influence over them, angering Corey after just saying he did not want Nate gone. Things went downhill, as a paranoid Nate began pushing for Corey for maybe having the hidden immunity idol and his power in the game as they all denied Corey targeting him, even as Corey started to reconsider his plans to vote Nate. At Tribal Council, Nate stated his concerns with Corey, who offered Nate a public deal to save himself by voting Aleks together. Albeit an intriguing offer, Nate voted Corey, who negated it when he played a hidden immunity idol on himself, sending Nate to Redemption Island in a 3-2-~~1~~ vote.

Despite Nate feeling enthusiastic to go to Redemption Island, his hopes were soon crushed when it was revealed the competition to determine who returned was a trivia challenge, something that Nate did not feel he was as good at as other things. Nate unfortunately lost to Allie, sending him out of the game with a burning desire to return. Nate would officially place 10th out of 12th.
