Joe Dowdle on ‘Survivor Tocantins’.29239347
The first, it turns out, happened to Joe Dowdle off-camera during a van ride to Tribal Council.
“We hit a bump and I chipped a tooth, and threw it to my side.
I like to think I inspired J.T.
to do the same in the challenge the next day.”
Adding insult to injury by swiping Joe’s hype!
The nerve of that guy!
As a result, Joe was medically evacuated on day 20.
Ah, what could have been.
JOW DOWDLE: Lots…
It’s been 13 years, which is absolutely insane to say.
I got married in 2014 to my beautiful wife, Jaclyn.
We have a 2.5 year old son, Griffin, and just got a golden retriever puppy named Goose.
Still living in Austin doing commercial real estate.
Still keeping any cuts and scrapes as clean as I can.

Honestly, it’s hard to identify my most proud moment.
In other words, I’m most proud of being humbled.
Any perfectionist tendencies in me died in Brazil.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
That one of my quotes didn’t title an episode.
Also, not winning.
I wouldn’t have won, but I thought going in that I could.
Looking back, I didn’t have enough life experience to navigateSurvivorrelationships.
I like to think I inspired J.T.
to do the same in the challenge the next day.
There’s more, but that’s the first that popped in my head.

Tough, trust issues for years.

It was disgusting at first.

Just to get an up-close look at the GOAT.
