But he was not having much fun after getting voted out of his tribe onSurvivor.
“I had no idea it was coming.
I had total trust with Ryan, Devon, and Ali.
It’s too early in the game for me to leave and this has been devastating.”
Then, when Patrick refused to sub out while throwing sandbags in the challenge, his fate was sealed.
So how does the 24-year-old moving company owner feel now about his ouster?
Does he believe he should have subbed out of the challenge after watching it back?
Here are a few highlights.
I knew I was still good.
It was a total blindside.
Honestly, I was furious.
I thought Lauren was going home."
I think what I did was right."
I felt comfortable and I told myself going in, if you feel comfortable something is probably not right.
I feel like I left cards out on the table.
I didn’t use everything I had."
On if he should have subbed out on the challenge:“I should have subbed out.
Take yourself in my position.
I was in the heat.
We had decided before…when it comes to the sandbags I’m going to throw them.
No one said, Hey, when you get tired, let me go in.
So, my thought is, I’m the one throwing.
Lauren didn’t tell me that she was a centerfielder for 25 years.
Lauren didn’t tell me she could hit a catcher in the forehead.
She only told the cameras that once I didn’t do my job.
I should have subbed out.
I was tired at the end.
I’ve seen the video and it looks like Lauren wanted to step in.
I was thinking:This is my duty and my task.
We’ve had brief encounters through school, through events and it was a total shock.
My mouth went to the floor when I saw her.
I didn’t say anything to production or anyone from CBS until gameplay started.
And then I was questioned like, What is this about you guys knowing each other?'
And I didn’t want to be someone that could replaced by an alternate.
Nor did I want Ali to be replaced by an alternate.
I was more concerned for myself, not for Ali.
I didn’t say anything.
It blows my mind.”
