Patric was a superfan that started over-playing from the moment he hit the beach. First, Imani caught him looking for the idol on the first day. Then, since he was one of the swing votes between the two rival alliances of 4 (Heidi/Sergio/Raul/Imani & Daisy/Zabrina/Logan/Brenda), he made promises to both sides to vote with them. He made a deal with fellow swing vote, Errol, to stick with him until the end, although Errol was much more calm and level-headed about where they stood.

Tribal Council however was where Patric's game fell apart totally. Even though he went in as one of the swing votes that had a choice between the two targets, Raul & Daisy, he openly declared that he viewed Imani as a threat and that he thought she had the idol. This angered Imani, who told the tribe that she caught Patric looking for the idol, not the other way around. Patric then turned to Daisy and Logan and said that he and Errol were with them and voting against Imani. However, Errol got mad because A) he didn't want Patric to drag him down too; and B) He never agreed to vote Imani out (since the targets were Raul and Daisy). Heidi then spoke up and bluntly asked Patric about what happened to voting for Daisy as he promised her. Patric was extremely defensive to all of this stuff coming his way, and eventually, Imani turned to Daisy and proposed a truce between the two alliances so that they could just send Patric home as the easy vote. Patric begged Daisy's alliance not to get rid of him and because he was with them and voting for Imani. The damage was done however, as not one person in the tribe trusted Patric from that point forward, and he was unanimously voted out.

Adam didn't get any FTC votes because he was a very paranoid and erratic player that became difficult to deal with. The only person that really kept him in line during the game was Jaxon. Once Jaxon was blindsided however, Adam tried to latch onto Ashleigh. However, Ashleigh was fed up with his BS and formed an alliance with outsiders Imani and Jomel just to get rid of him (although this backfired when Imani was voted out).

In addition to Adam's paranoia, at FTC, it was made clear that Adam also had a very poor handle on the game. At the tribe-swap, Adam feared that his original tribe-mate, Pearl, was getting too close to Heidi and would flip. This paranoia however caused him and Pearl to have a falling out as Adam kept asking her (at least once every second day, sometimes more) if she was still with him. Meanwhile, Adam did form a decent bond with Errol, and after he and Pearl's falling out, he asked Errol to vote against her, and Errol agreed since he had no loyalty to Pearl. In order to solidify Errol's trust, Adam showed him his idol. What Adam didn't realize however, was that he didn't tell Jaxon about the idol, so when he told Jaxon that he wanted Pearl out and that they had Errol with him, and Jaxon asked how he could be so sure and Adam said he revealed his idol, this freaked Jaxon out. As such, Jaxon planted seeds in Adam's paranoid head that indicated that Errol was more loyal to Heidi and would vote Adam out. In reality, although Errol did not flip, Jaxon did, ensuring that if Adam didn't play his idol that he would go.

Adam did play his idol that day, eliminating Pearl. However, Adam was under the impression that Errol turned on him and not Jaxon, which was a main reason that Adam and Jaxon chose to target Errol come the merge. Come the Final Tribal Council, Adam was still under the impression that Errol turned on him, so much so that when asked to explain his game, he mentioned the idol play to save himself, followed up by eliminating Errol for his "betrayal." This led Errol to make a passionate speech against Adam, totally dressing him down and berating him for his constant paranoia, and his extremely poor handle on the game, which led him to be manipulated perfectly by Jaxon. Ashleigh also spoke about how hard Adam was to live with in the game. After all this, as well as the fact that both Heidi & Raul had at least one juror advocating for them (Heidi had Sergio and Raul had Eve), Adam ended up receiving no votes to win.
