## Survivor

Starting on the dysfunctional Freaks tribe, Liam quickly worked himself into a solid position. Liam had known Becca from another ORG series, *Jorvivor,* and was worried that she didn't like him, but the two hit it off. Morgs found an idol hunt command and shared it with both Becca and Liam. The three formed an alliance called The Girl and the Gays and began hunting for the idol together, to no avail. Becca and Liam made a F2 pact, and Liam also formed a close relationship with with Lacey. Within the first couple days, Liam came very close to accidentally stumbling on the final idol command, but was missing a hyphen.

After Annabelle's unanimous vote out, Eclipse became more and more inactive. The Girl and the Gays pulled in Lacey and Steph to form a majority alliance called Cowards, and this alliance easily steered the vote towards Eclipse at the second Tribal Council.

When one critical mistake in the Music Synonyms challenge sent the Freaks back to Tribal Council in the fourth cycle, the tribe was divided on whether to vote out Fetty or Lacey. Liam lobbied to save Lacey, but his tribemates were set on voting her out due to her perceived inactivity. Three hours before the vote, Lacey found an idol clue and immediately shared it with Liam. The two scrambled to find the idol, but were unable to do so and Lacey was voted out unanimously, with Liam sadly voting out his ally as to not make waves.

At Swap, Liam ended up on Freaks 2.0 with his allies Steph and Morgs and met up with Gabe, who he had previously played *Jorvivor* with. Morgs, West, Liam, and Gabe formed a majority alliance called Geeky Freaky I Need A Leaky. Meanwhile, Liam, Steph, and Morgs formed their own OG Freaks alliance. After no one took the Greed necklace, the vote was unclear on the Freaks 2.0 tribe. Morgs and Liam wanted Mamba out 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.

In the following challenge, Liam took control when his tribe failed to organize themselves for Spymaster. Liam's leadership and performance in the challenge led his tribe to a crucial victory.

At the Merge, Becca, Liam, Gabe, Nathan, and Bella (all *Jorvivor* alumni) formed a majority alliance with Liam'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.

Liam won an idol half in the Auction, with Becky Lee winning the other half. Individually, they could be used as Extra Votes and formed an idol when combined. After Bella lost her vote in the Auction, Liam and Gabe saw an opportunity to take control of the game. 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 vote, leaving Becca and Nathan in the dark and on the bottom of the tribe.

After the vote, Becca and Nathan were furious at Liam for his betrayal. 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, but Liam grew suspicious of Morgs when Morgs lobbied hard for her to stay. 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. 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.

After West won a clutch immunity at the Final Six, Liam targeted Nathan. Nathan targeted Liam as a big threat to save himself, but was voted out 4-2, with only West voting with him. West was voted out unanimously at the Final Five as a physical threat, and Liam decided that his best shot at the win was to take out his close ally Gabe at the Final Four and sit next to Mamba and Becky Lee at the end.

Liam won the Final Immunity Challenge and set his plan to eliminate Gabe in motion, telling Mamba and Becky Lee to vote Gabe with him. Gabe knew he was in trouble and 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, sending Mamba out of the game in a 2-1-1 vote. Liam was furious with both Mamba and Becky Lee, feeling like they had destroyed his game.

At Final Tribal Council, Liam owned up to how his pre-existing relationships helped him in the game, and argued that he played a strong strategic game with a significant amount of control. The Jury was very bitter towards Liam due to the way he betrayed many of them, and he clashed with jurors regarding their perception of him. Liam received zero Jury votes to win the game.

At the Reunion, Liam was named *Skatevivor*'s first Villain of the Season due to his cutthroat gameplay.
