**Joey II** is the Sole Survivor of *Survivor: Saigon*. He later competed on *Survivor: All-Stars*.

## Profile

* All-Stars

**Name:** Joey
**Age:** 24
**Timezone:** Pacific Timezone (Seattle, Washington)
**What is your strategy heading into Survivor: Saigon?** My strategy heading into the game is to make as many connections with people as I can and hopefully give myself as many options to move forward each vote.
**Which Survivor/BB contestant are you most like?** I like to think I'm most like Fabio. Just the lovable, goofy, kinda dim stoner that sneaks his way to the end.
**What is your favorite musical and/or theatrical show?** I gotta go with Spamalot. It's just so much fun.
**What is the most important aspect in Survivor: brains, brawn, or beauty?** I think brains are the most important aspect to win, but I think you need a healthy balance of all three.
**Which castaway would you like to work with the most? The least? Why?** I think I'd like to work with Dylan, since I'm hearing he's so good at challenges so that'd be a nice ally who's a target that wouldn't be me. And I was told that Yag was maybe just a little untrustworthy, so that's a little alarming. Although they were the ones who told me that about each other so ¯\\_(ツ)\_/¯
**Would you rather win and be hated or lose and be loved?** I think I'd rather lose and be loved, if those are my only options, because this seems like a really neat community and I think it'd be cool to be a part of it.

**Why will you be the winner of Survivor: Saigon?** I'm gonna win it all because I'm stubborn, and I'm sure as hell gonna do my damndest to fight tooth and nail to get to the end. I'm gonna charm peoples pants off, and I'm gonna adapt as the game changes and go with the flow.
**What is your age, gender, location, and occupation?** My name is Joey, I am a 24 year old dog groomer from Seattle, Washington.
**What makes you an All-Star?** Cuz I whooped everyone in Saigon and if they don't vote me out off the bat I'ma do it again here.
**Who are you most excited about in All-Stars? Least?** I'm most excited about Beowulf, cuz although we butted heads last season I think he'd make a solid ally. I'm least excited about Jett. He turned on me once, he'll probably do it again.
**Who is the most threatening All-Star? The least?** I'm the most threatening All-Star :muscle:
I'm also the least because everyone probably thought my win was a fluke lol
**What will you change, if anything, from your first game?** I think I'm going to play a much more aggressive game come merge time, since I more or less snuck past last time.

```

```

**What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?** My biggest strengths are my loyalty, my challenge performances, and my sparkling personality.
My biggest weakness is probably that I get a bit overwhelmed when things get crazy.
**Who would you want to ally with the most? The least?** I want to ally with Anna the most, since I think she can get us far and draw a lot of heat.
I want to ally with Jack the least. Been there, done that, lost that idol.
**Why will you be the sole survivor of *Survivor: All-Stars?*** Because everyone's gonna hopefully either
A: forget I just won the last season
or
B: they're gonna think I lucked out.

## Survivor

### Saigon

Joey began on the Hanoi tribe where he quickly formed an alliance with Akin, Jack, and Jett. He was able to control the original tribe. Once the swap occurred, he still had a majority on the new tribe where he was able to be in the numbers for each vote. Upon hitting the merge, Joey was able to stay in his majority Hanoi alliance playing things safe. Joey stayed quiet during most of the game as his allies Jack and Jett took a lot of heat. Once it got down to the end, Joey did not want to choose which ally to evict so he decided to vote for Matt, but he ended up causing an unnecessary tie. Ultimately he voted for Jett over Jack. Finally in the final 4, Joey was able to convince Alexis to save him, allowing him to go to a fire making challenge in which he defeated Jack. He won the final 3 immunity challenge and brought himself to the end with Alexis where he won in a 7 to 2 vote.

### All-Stars

Joey immediately formed a friendship with Alex and Jordan while spending his time on Schuyler. Even though they lost two early challenges, Joey's name was never brought up. He was then able to swap on to a winning tribe where things stayed easy for him. At the next swap on to the Hamilton Tribe, he formed The Royalty Alliance consisting of Adam, Andrew, Jordan and himself. They voted out Matt from Hamilton then the merge started. At the auction Joey won a screenshot share advantage. Preston confessed to The Royalty Alliance he was going to give an idol to Aras in order to try to blindside Rivers. Ultimately the alliance chose Jett as they were afraid Rivers would have an idol. Joey through a hinky vote on Alex to spook everyone. The two pairs in The Royalty Alliance had the loyalty of both sides of the tribe which allowed Joey to vote with Rivers side of the tribe in order to keep up appearances. Andrew was placed in a double agent position and Joey felt it was too much power so after taking down Rivers, he plans to blindside Andrew. Andrew had the idol though and this led to Harry being idoled out and Joey being exposed. Andrew wins immunity and pushes to take down Joey. Despite Jordan being his closest ally, Jordan sides with Andrew in order to keep them as allies. Joey tries to use his screenshot share to show Alex that Adam, Andrew, and Jordan only view him as a goat but it does not work and Joey is voted out in 7th. He voted for Jordan to win.
