## Survivor

### *Belize*

On *Canadian Survivor: Belize*, Juan was a member of the Caracol tribe. Day 2, bonds strongly with Crystal and bonds slightly with Marta. Day 5, Juan and Crystal form **Caracol Alliance**. Day 7, recruits Celine and Marta to join *Caracol Alliance*. Day 11, Scott attempts to out Juan's close relationship with Crystal, but this backfires when the tribe unanimously votes out Scott. Day 15, Juan puts in the work to stay off peoples parchments by bonding slightly with Becca and finding something in common with Naomi. At Tribal Council, the original Lamanai would pick off Andre.

Day 18, Becca is committed to voting out Mark and willing to go to rocks, which it would go to - saving Juan and ultimately sending Naomi home. Day 30, Juan is blindsided by a newly form **Kukulkan Four**, built to dismantle the showmance. Juan was such a strong competitor that he was the first target and he would become the 3rd jury member.

#### Voting History

**^1** For winning the individual Immunity Challenge, Sumaira was given the opportunity to cast a vote to one member of Lamanai that would receive her Immunity Necklace; if that player received enough votes to be voted out, all votes cast against that player would be negated, with the player that received the next highest number of votes being voted out instead.

**^2**  In Episode 7, the vote ended with a 2-2 tie between Juan and Mark. Nobody would change their vote, forcing a rock draw.

### *Dominica*

On *Canadian Survivor: Dominica*, Juan was a member of the Pagua tribe. Day 3, Juan joins Crystal Mihajlovic and the majority of Pagua in voting out *Bahamas* winner, Kayla Iqalukjuaq. Day 5, finds something in common with Sandeep Kabeer. Day 6, he joins Crystal in voting out Sola Baaen. Day 7, Juan finds the Have Camp's Hidden Immunity Idol. Day 8, Juan and Crystal agree to vote out Sandeep, but Crystal gets cold feet and changes her vote. At Tribal Council, Juan feeling sketched out by Crystal's behaviour, plays the Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 0 votes and unsuccessfully playing an idol for the first time in *Canadian Survivor* history. Day 9, Juan is impressing the rest of the tribe. Day 10, Alina Covali-Knight is targeting Juan, so Juan and his partner agree to join Luis Lopez in voting Alina out.

Day 15, Juan finds another Hidden Immunity Idol. Day 24, Juan plays his |Hidden Immunity Idol and negates 3 votes, sending Erika Torres home and getting revenge for Crystal. Day 26, Juan finds BOTH Hidden Immunity Idols - the original Sisserou Hidden Immunity Idol that no one found and the rehidden Have Camp Hidden Immunity Idol. Day 27, Juan impresses the tribe and at Tribal Council, Juan uses a Hidden Immunity Idol - negating only a single vote, which would result in Debbie being sent home. Day 29, Juan finds the rehidden Hidden Immunity Idol and once again holds two. At Tribal Council on Day 30, Juan plays both his idols, one on Anthony Pellegrini and one on himself, both would be unsuccessful and only negating 2 votes on himself.

Day 31, Juan is sent to Exile Island by Hamid Zare. Day 32, Juan forms the Sisserou Three alliance with fellow *Belize*, Anthony, and Frits de Bruin. Day 33, Frits knows the vote is going on Juan, so he plays his Hidden Immunity Idol on Juan, negating 4 votes and the Sisserou Three send Hamid to jury. Day 36, Norway Alliance once again targeted Juan, but his new allies stay strong in supporting Juan and voting for Michel Villalobos. The vote would be 3-3, but in the revote, Rodney Palm wasn't willing to go to rocks and they flipped to send Michel to jury. Day 37, bonds slightly with Frits.
