Joe entered the house where he soon found out he would be competing with his ex-boyfriend Dustin Erikstrup. Immediately upon hearing this, Joe tried to convince the other houseguest to target the rivals after their week of safety was up. In week 2, Jen Johnson won Head of Household. While Joe didn’t have the best relationship with her, Jen was set on targeting the duo of Dick Donato and Daniele Briones. After Daniele won the Power of Veto, Jen nominated Joe as a pawn, but Dick had backing from the Late Night Crew, still Joe continued to campaign hard, even convincing Kail Harbick to keep him. Despite Kail’s attempts to convince her alliance to keep Joe, she was unsuccessful and thus Joe was evicted by a vote of 9-1, placing 13th.
