## Profile

**Name:** Nathan

**Age:** 21

**Pronouns:** he/him

**Timezone:** EST

**Starting tribe:** Geeks

**What do you do for fun?** I love to go thrifting to find cool stuff to hang up or display (gonna be doing a lot more of that because Im moving into my own place soon), I really enjoy watching the English Premiere League (soccer) and also riding my bike when Ohio weather permits. When im not working or doing any of the above, im usually chilling with friends or fam smoking the ganja.

**What is your strategy coming into the game?** If there are people I know on the cast, ill probably try to link up with them. Whether their is or not though i want to lay low for a bit and just prove my worth to my tribe, quick ticket to merge. I also am going to need to work on my social game a bit though because my lack of one cost me a W my last outing

**What character from any media do you relate to most and why?** Probably Eric Foreman from That 70s Show (minus getting the girl). I can relate to being a stoner obviously, but also because I had a strict dad growing up and an overly protecting mother like him, and Im always the friend in the group people try to rag on. Always got them back with quick wit though like eric did

**Would you rather get to the end and be hated or get voted out early and be loved?** Get to the end and be hated just because ive never won an org in 12 tries so I just really want that W, idc if people hate me lol

## Survivor

As a member of the Geeks Tribe, Nathan quickly found allies. Becky Lee added him, Eric, and Bella to the first alliance of the season, Power of Four, just 45 minutes into the game.

The Geeks dominated the first two challenges, and during that time off, Nathan continued to get along well with his tribemates (citing *Grey's Anatomy* as a topic of discussion) and was added to his tribe's six-person majority alliance Sixth Sense. When the Geeks finally attended tribal in the third cycle, Clay emerged as an easy vote and was voted out unanimously.

At Swap, Nathan stayed on the Geeks tribe with his allies Bella, Becky Lee, and Mia. OG Freak Becca, who had played with Nathan in Season 11 of *Jorvivor,* also swapped to Geeks 2.0. Becca, Bella, and Nathan formed the Three Musketeers alliance shortly after Swap. Nathan and Bella protected Becca when Geeks 2.0 attended tribal after the Greed challenge, steering the vote towards Seraphy instead.

After Becca and Bella made a fatal mistake in the Codenames challenge that sent them back to Tribal Council, OG Freak Fetty emerged as the obvious vote. Bella and Nathan wanted to prove to Becca that they didn't plan on Pagonging the Freaks, so they blindsided their OG Geek ally Mia instead and left Becky Lee in the dark.

Nathan entered the merge seemingly in a good spot, but his and Bella's decision to blindside Mia made Becky Lee lose all trust in them as allies. Upon merging, Bella,  Liam, Gabe, Nathan, and Becca (all *Jorvivor* alumni) formed a majority alliance with Becca's Freaks ally Morgs called Slick Six. After Eric left the game and Fetty was voted out in 10th place due to general inactivity, it seemed that this alliance would control the rest of the season.

After Nathan won immunity at the Final 9, Becky Lee sought revenge for Mia's blindside and teamed up with Gabe, Liam, Mamba, and West to turn the game on its head. This new alliance targeted Bella as a social threat and pulled in Morgs as a sixth vote. Bella, Nathan, and Becca planned to split the votes between Mamba and Becky Lee and believed that Slick Six was still in control, unaware that Gabe, Liam, and Morgs had betrayed them. Bella was blindsided in a 6-1-1 vote, and Becca and Nathan quickly found themselves at the bottom of the Dweebs tribe.

Following Bella's blindside, Becca was seen as a greater threat than Nathan and taken out next, leaving Nathan behind as the last member of the Three Musketeers. While Nathan seemed to be an obvious next vote, a combination of suspicion against Morgs and a desire to flush West's idol saved him at the Final 7. 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.

Although West was an ideal next target for the majority after having their idol flushed, they won immunity, causing Nathan's name to come back up. Nathan targeted Liam as a big threat to save himself, and got West voting on his side, but was ultimately voted out 4-2 and became the fifth member of the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Nathan asked no questions to Becky Lee, mentioned that Gabe seemed not to own his moves and pandered to the jury, and felt that Liam was condescending in his position of power. He ended up casting his vote for Gabe to win.

### Voting history

**^1** In "*I can't keep my enemies close COS ALL MY ENEMIES ARE MY FRIENDS*", West played a hidden immunity idol, negating all votes against them.
