Patek

**Patek** is the Fan Favorite of Survivor: Salar de Uyuni! He previously competed on Survivor: The Badlands.

An incredibly dominating player, Patek never was on the wrong side of the numbers until his own elimination. Starting on the dysfunctional Kerochee tribe, Patek started his game off with a bang by blindsiding Caine in a 3-2-1 vote. He had an easy ride through the swap, even though he was forced to vote off his main ally AJ. At merge he controlled every vote alongside his ride-or-die Jan. However, after a small immunity run Patek’s game came to a head, where at the final 5 tribal council Jan turned on him and sent him home 3-2.

This impressive gameplay carried over into the salar. Patek situated himself in a weird middle position at the merge, and constantly flipped flopped between sides. This gameplay was noticed by several people, so when Travis was looking for a good blindside target, he found his mark. After convincing Zachary to play his idol, he was able to flush his idol and send Patek packing. He was an amazing narrator throughout the season, and this garnered him enough votes to win the Fan Favorite award.

### Profile

* **Name and Pronouns:** Patek, he/him
* **What made you want to play again?:** Well to be frank, I always love the opportunity to challenge myself. Knowing that I’m going to be playing against the best of the best for the past five seasons is enough in its own. This will be my second all stars ever so I’m really excited to prove myself as a good player but also kinda nervous. I’ve kinda flopped the past few ORGs I’ve played in by my standards, so I think my goal here is to really get my mojo back as a player. And what better place to do it in the season I’d argue I had the best strategic game in.
* **Do you have what it takes to earn redemption?:** Well of course. I can be a triple-threat if need be with social/strategic/physical but I’m also very patient. There are a lot of big personalities this season I’m ASSUMING like Vince of Papaya or Jan etc. so I can sit back and let them have the targets while I work from within.
* **How have you changed as a person since your last run through?:** Kind of going into the last question as well, the big difference from when I played here last like 6 or 7 months ago is that I’ve grown a lot as a social player. I really didn’t bond with people that much in the first ORGs I played and now...I do. I’m definitely a more patient and well-rounded player but I might also be a bit more timid than I was which isn’t always a good thing. I need to balance being a quiet threat and a noticeable one so people can see what I’ve done but not want to target me. AS A PERSON IN GENERAL well not that much has changed cuz yknow covid but it is what it is.
* **Are you ready to win?:** Duh. But as long as I don’t flop I’ll be satisfied tbh hopefully probably.
