Joel is a contestant from *Survivor: Panama*, *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur* and *Survivor: Philippines*.

## Survivor: Panama

Joel began *Survivor: Panama* on the purple Casaya tribe, along with Alana, Bianca, Darcy, Hayden, Hunter, Lana and Oliver. In the first twist of the season, only the first tribe to finish would be immune from Tribal Council. The Viveros tribe won, meaning that the other three tribes had to send someone home. Joel and Oliver voted for Darcy because they felt she was untrustworthy, but the rest of the tribe voted out Joel.

## Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

After his minimal appearance in *Panama*, Joel returned to the game in *Survivor: San Juan Del Sur*with an agenda in mind. Straight out of the gate, he began to form relationships with the other castaways in his tribe. The Coyopa and Hunahpu tribes had to both go to Tribal Council on Day 3 in a Double Tribal Council. One of Joel's allies, Mitchell, was voted out, leaving him in a sticky situation. At the next Coyopa Tribal Council, Joel was able to make more bonds and Montana was voted out.

At the Tribe Switch, Joel was left on Coyopa with Marina, Katrina and Thomas. At the first elimination the tribe went to, the original Coyopa's brought in an outsider from Hunahpu to eliminate Skye. A shocking blindside later sent Thomas home before the merge. During the early stages of merge, half of the post-switch Coyopa was eliminated by the rival alliance. Joel managed to bond more with his castaways and stayed out of danger until the remaining women saw him as a challenge threat. Joel was voted out on Day 34, and voted for Domenic to win the title of Sole Survivor.

## Survivor: Philippines

Joel returned again for *Survivor: Philippines* originally on the red Kalabaw tribe, where he was placed on the outs quickly with Liam and William. At their first loss on Day 2, the trio voted for Catherine but the rest of the tribe eliminated William. Joel and Liam's luck soon changed when Daniel started bonding with them and considered joining forces with them due to their common interests. At their next loss, Daniel told Joel and Liam they would be protected because he was causing the majority to implode on each other which led to Laura's elimination. Joel appreciated Daniel's move, but felt it proved he was a manipulative and untrustworthy ally. He spoke to Bianca, Catherine and Sarah, where he was able to convince them to blindside Daniel.

After an immunity win, a tribe dissolve occurred on Day 13. Joel remained on Kalabaw along with Bianca and Liam. They were joined by Elyse, Mitchell, Montana and Tison from the yellow Tandang tribe as well as Domenic and Jasmine from the blue Matsing tribe. Tension between Domenic and Jasmine from Matsing continued on Kalabaw, forcing the rest of the tribe to pick which castaway to align with. Joel aligned with Bianca, Elyse and Jasmine in voting for Domenic but they were in the minority and Jasmine was voted out. Despite their best efforts, Joel's trio was still in the minority at the following vote. On Day 22, Kalabaw had to attend a Double Tribal Council and Joel was the first casualty.
