Gabe

Gabe is a contestant on Visionary Survivor: Continental Conflict and Visionary Survivor: Blood vs Water.

## Continental Conflict Summary

Due to his performance in other ORGs, the production team had rather high expectations for Gabe when he was accepted into the season. Unfortunately, expectations sank immediately as he quickly became one of the more inactive castaways in the season. His lack of inactivity caused his elimination after the first mutiny of the season dwindled his tribe down to three members. His gameplay is untraceable due to him not sending a single confessional throughout his three days in the game.

 I Hate All Of Them
 Eliminated, Day 3

## Blood vs Water Summary

Gabe’s journey in Visionary Survivor began in Season 4 with very disappointing results. In his first season, he didn’t send a single confessional message throughout his 3 days in the game. After placing dead last in Continental Conflict, Gabe was ready to return and be the great player that many knew he was. Him and his partner Amani were both predicted to make it quite deep into the game by many, and Gabe proved them right.

Starting on the Zeus tribe of returnees, Gabe faced little to no adversity in the first two episodes of the season. Knowing Amani’s likeability would keep her in the game, he was fine with coasting on tribal immunities until the swap. He went along with the Wyatt vote, alongside all of his allies and essentially the entire tribe. Gabe continued to stay about in the middle of everyone’s trust rankings during the preswap portion of the game, never too big of a threat, but never too much of a liability.

At the swap, Gabe was reunited with Amani on the new Zeus tribe. After they lost the first immunity, Gabe made sure that Amani stayed safe despite her swapping into a 6-2 tribe lines majority. His allies on the new tribe were fairly clear, having Darryl, Steven, and Amani all by his side. However, he made one massive mistake. At the fifth tribal council of the season, Gabe placed his vote on Quizzy to follow Kaden’s plan despite apprehensions from his allies. Unfortunately he did not make many confessionals during the swap, so we don’t necessarily know his thought process. Gabe splitting his vote from the group allowed Kaden, Giully, Quizzy, and Joel to eliminate Steven with a plurality of the votes when Gabe could have instead forced a tie. Gabe stayed silent for the rest of the preswap, voting out Darryl in a unanimous 6-1 vote at their next tribal council.

At the merge, Gabe’s gameplay was forced to ramp itself up after a massive wake up call. Fearing the obvious alliance between Toon, Gabe, Amani, and Kaden, the tribe set their sights on taking out Gabe, a massive challenge threat who lost the first individual immunity challenge by a single second. The alliance of 4 was able to recruit Joel and Zura to vote for Nick with them, but Kaden gave Gabe his Legacy Advantage to secure Gabe’s safety. Gabe stayed in the game with this advantage, but it was clear that many of his tribemates saw him as disposable and a massive threat.

In the next round, pure chaos broke out in the tribe due to a seeming tie between the two former voting blocks. Four different players ended up getting votes by the end of the tribal, but both Gabe and Amani’s names were brought up to be sent to the jury. Although Joel and Gabe tried to flip the votes onto Gabe’s ally Toon, eventually Amani was voted out by all players except Gabe, Zura, Toon, and herself. Although losing your partner may seem like a bad thing, it allowed Gabe to fly under the radar for a few rounds as opposed to Kaden and Toon, who were targeted immediately following Amani’s elimination. It was at this point that Gabe recognized how close Kaden and Giully were, and unsuccessfully attempted to target Giully. Gabe eventually voted alongside Maji, Kaden, and Toon for Zura following his speech in the camp chat. After Kaden was voted out, Toon followed, with Enrique saving himself with an Exit Ticket.

After this vote, Gabe’s game seemed to be doomed. Gabe had just gotten 7 votes, lost his partner, lost two of his closest allies, and lost all trust with Jay, Enrique, Joel, and Zura. Luckily for Gabe, he was able to successfully take out Enrique at the next tribal council. At the final 9, Gabe actually planned out his target up until the very end and followed those votes successfully for 5 rounds in a row. Gabe also did all of this without gaining the reputation of “playing the middle” despite his flipping throughout the early merge. Gabe voted out Enrique, Giully, Matthew, Joel, and Quizzy out in a row, just like his plan outlined. The only one of these 5 tribals where Gabe got in any hot water was the Joel vote out, when he was the target of Joel and Zura, but only received those 2 votes.

At the final 4, Gabe was in quite a difficult situation - he had to win immunity or he would be voted out. He pushed hard to win the final immunity, but ultimately lost the challenge and was voted out for being too big of a threat. There’s no way to deny the last to first storyline’s power, and Zura, Maji, and Jay weren’t willing to risk their games and go against Gabe in the Final Tribal Council. Although there were low points in activity throughout Gabe’s game, his merge game’s power is undeniable. He played down the middle without being detected after being on either the minority or losing side of the votes for 4 tribal councils in a row. Gabe went from the inactive first boot of season 4 to the powerful fallen angel and redeemed himself for his less than beautiful reputation.
