Survivor: Marquesas
Paschal started on the dominant Rotu Tribe, which was undefeated for a while. While not having to deal with the game, due to not having to go to Tribal Council, the Tribe grew very close, almost like a family, but Paschal and Neleh Dennis had the closest relationship of all, almost like father and daughter. Then, a Tribal Switch shook the game, which saw Paschal, Neleh and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien go to Maraamu to join Gina Crews and Sarah Jones. Because of this, Paschal and Neleh joined with Kathy to have the numbers but also grew very close with Gina as well. First, they voted out Sarah because she didn't work around camp. They would then win Immunity, keeping their new little family safe. However, they lost the next Immunity and were forced to vote Gina out. The Tribes then Merged and Rob Mariano told Kathy that the old Rotu Tribe of John Carroll, Tammy Leitner, Robert DeCanio and Zoe Zanidakis were targeting her first and then Paschal and Neleh. However, Paschal and Neleh didn't believe that was true. When Boston Rob and Sean Rector had an argument with John at camp, Paschal and Neleh stayed with John and his group to vote out Boston Rob. Later on, Kathy kept trying to convince Paschal and Neleh that they were just helping John get farther and that he would throw them away when he is done with them but they didn't listen. However, after a Reward Challenge that showed a clear pecking order, with Paschal and Neleh out right after Sean, Vecepia and Kathy, it was clear to them that they were fifth and sixth out. Because of this, they joined with Kathy, Sean and Vecepia Towery to form an "Outsiders" Alliance and voted off the Rotu Four alliance one by one, as John, Zoe, Tammy and Robert exited. Then, Kathy was the swing vote between the groups of Sean and Vecepia and Paschal and Neleh. Kathy would eventually stick with her original Tribemates and Sean was voted out. However, when Vecepia won the next Immunity, Kathy struck a deal with her at Tribal Council, saying that if Vecepia votes with her, then Kathy will take Vecepia to the Final Two if she wins Immunity next time and Vecepia agreed. The votes were then tied between Kathy and Neleh and Probst introduced a new Tie-Breaker, which had Kathy, Neleh and Paschal draw rocks and whoever drew the purple rock would be eliminated. Paschal would draw the Purple Rock and was thus eliminated. The Finals came down to Vecepia Towery and Neleh Dennis and Paschal voted for Neleh to win, but Vecepia won the money and the title.

Trivia
- Paschal is the oldest contestant on Survivor: Marquesas.
- Paschal's luxury item was an American flag.
- Paschal was the first contestant to be the sole representative of their gender after a Tribal Switch.
- Paschal and Neleh Dennis voted for the same person at every Tribal Council they attended.
- Paschal is the second person to be eliminated despite never receiving a vote against him, after Michael Skupin in The Australian Outback.
- Paschal is the first person to be eliminated by rocks, followed by Katie Collins in Blood vs. Water and Jessica Lewis in Millennials vs Gen X.
- Had current rules involving drawing rocks applied in his season, Paschal would have been eliminated anyway, seeing as how the player with individual immunity (Vecepia Towery) and the two players in a deadlock tie (Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien and Neleh) would be safe from the draw, meaning that Paschal would have been automatically eliminated by default.
- Paschal's elimination via the purple rock affected the subsequent seasons of Survivor. Due to contestants not wanting to force a tied vote, there would not be another tie until "The Best and Worst Reward Ever" in Palau, six seasons later.
- Excluding those who were evacuated or quit the competition, Paschal is the first castaway who did not have his name written down on parchment over the course of a season. He was followed by Jonathan Libby and Wanda Shirk in Palau, Sugar Kiper in Gabon, Rupert Boneham in Blood vs. Waterand Cirie Fields in Game Changers.
- Paschal is the only Jury member to miss a Tribal Council. He was unable to attend the Day 38 Tribal Council because he was hospitalized.
