Quotes
- "My catch phrase has been flying under the radar in kind of the easy-going, kind of fun-loving guy until I can get to a certain part of the game and then start making moves. I thought I would do what's called persuade and evade, you know, try to get a lot of invitations out there and see who comes, as opposed to trying to trying to focus on one or two people to make an alliance with.

I want to make sure the people I'm aligned with are going to be around."—Joe DowdleReality Blurred: Survivor Tocantins: Joe Dowdle (February 3, 2009)
