## Background

PJ is a young man from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. He was born in New Mexico, and when he turned eighteen, he played the lottery, and won. He used the money to start a business called State of Mind, which helps people with mental and physical disabilities get education and help. However, he reveals that he only has about 5 customers.

He mentions that he had a girlfriend named Meadow, who he foolishly left in the US. He says he wishes he could see her again to apologize for leaving her.

## Gameplay

PJ arrived on the island and was placed on the Wasawasa tribe. His team luckily won the first challenge and survived the double elimination. However, they didn't have the same luck for the second challenge and they ended up losing. Through talks with other team members, it seems like Edward was the safest option, and Edward went home nearly unanimously. Despite his efforts, and those of (most of) his team, Wasawasa lost again. However, this time everyone voted for Florence, and PJ escaped with just a single vote from Florence. In the next challenge, PJ swam 100 meters and helped his team to their 2nd place finish and immunity from the vote. They also won the next immunity challenge.

In the next episode, PJ failed on the slingshot station of the challenge, causing his team to be one of two losers. However, he once again slid by with just a single vote and Andrew was eliminated. The next episode, the teams merged, and PJ was told to vote for Hyejin by the other former Wasawasa members, but was told to vote for Lola by the others. He had a difficult time Voting, being convinced to vote Lola before eventually changing to Hyejin. But his vote did not matter, as Hyejin used their idol and Lola went home.

After losing miserably in the next challenge, PJ was once again pressured by two different alliances to vote for two different people. In one of the most insane Elimination Ceremonies in the history of the show, PJ voted for Hyejin, only for that vote to be blocked *again*, and then voted for Willem in the revote. Somehow, he did not receive a single vote.

The next challenge was lost by PJ again. How unexpected. He decided to vote for Asher over Sequoia (good move, I'd guess) in the vote, which proved to be a good move as Asher was voted out. The next challenge, he did not win. Again. His best friends, Winter and Jack, however, did. And, despite Jack suggesting they bring PJ and Sequoia, it was Charles and Carol who went with them. Feeling betrayed, PJ offered an alliance with Hyejin and Sequoia at camp. However, this came to no fruition in the events that followed prior to the Elimination Ceremony when Oliver exposed Sequoia as a plotting liar. PJ intended to vote Sequoia, but when the latter got immunity from the vote, he was forced to vote Oliver, who was voted out.

In the next challenge, PJ failed... again. Hey, at least he didn't mind the rain though. He convinced Winter to vote for Sequoia, and a few others followed suit. However, due to Charles voting for Carol, the vote was tied 4-4. In the revote, PJ once again voted against Sequoia, whose protests were fruitless, and they went home. In the next challenge, Hyejin won immunity. Shock of all shocks, it's not PJ who won. At the elimination ceremony, Winter used her Elimination Exit, which allowed her to be excused from the Elimination. So, Hyejin's alliance turned on PJ and he went home, placing 8th.

In the final jury vote, he asked what the finalists' ideal winner traits (and their disliked ones) were. He also asked why he was booted when he would've been a good finale opponent due to his lackluster performance in challenges, a lack of strategy and the fact that he's a multimillionaire. In the end, he voted for his former Wasawasa teammate, Winter.
