Joe del Campo

Joseph "Joe" del Campo is a contestant from .
The first castaway to compete in his seventies since Rudy Boesch, Joe formed a successful partnership with Aubry Bracco that allowed him to go deep in the game. However, he began to wear out in the game's later stages, leading to increasingly poor challenge performances and a curmudgeon personality emerging. His run came to an end when he gorged excessively during a reward, resulting in a urinary tract complication that necessitated his evacuation at the final five.
