Mary: Joel is a little too paranoid for my tastes. He had a lot of paranoia even the first couple days, he started overstrategizing a bit. It kind of threw us all for a loop
Mikey: I think it's sad that Joel can be convinced to go one way or another as easily as he did. Tracy said, "I'm disappointed in you, you said you were gonna vote Mikey out a long time ago, he's going to get you." It disappointed me but it didn't surprise me. I didn't have game respect for Joel once he voted off Mary, so why should he change his tune?
Mikey: I think he's arrogant, selfish, self-centered, and I don't think he has an open mind to anything but the way he was brought up.
Chet: Just look at him, what does that tell you? Can you look up the word "neanderthal" in the dictionary? Let's discuss Joel. If there was anything I could not substitute for him with a draft horse, he was out of his league. I'll stop there.
Chet: First off, it was a decision among us who was going to be paired up with each other. Joel jumped right in and said, "I'm taking Chet," which right away the red flags went up in the air. The man wanted nothing to do with me up until that moment.
All that I asked of him was to please, "Over, under, through" and I could follow him. The first time through the game, Joel yelled, "Over, under, through" and we did well. The second time was actually a tiebreaker. It was Joel and I again, and I asked him the same request. But knowing Joel, he is SO obsessed with winning that he heard nothing and he just took off like a bat out of hell and just dragged me through the whole thing.
So the communication was not there. I want to make that perfectly clear. This is Chet from Survivor: Micronesia -- Fans vs. Favorites. The communication was not there.
Kathy: I guess Joel going that he didn't like me as a person - and I'm like, what the hell did I do to you? He kind of was a bully out there.
Tracy: I remember overhearing Amanda talking to Cirie saying, "Joel just creeps me out." Joel didn't know people saw him that way. He was a little scary at times, you couldn't predict his mood or temperament. I said, "Joel, you're going first. Just let's lock the votes and let me go in a fire challenge with Ozzy." I grew up with a wood stove, I'm damned good at it. Nope, he wouldn't hear of it. "We're taking out Chet." If that's the road you're going down, let's take you out.
