Jean-Junior a passé la moitié de sa vie sur la patinoire : il a même fait le camp d'entraînement du Canadien de Montréal en 2002 et s'est entraîné avec Koivu et Plekanec! La discipline et la persévérance ont toujours fait partie de sa vie. Son père, policier, lui a appris à ne jamais abandonner et à toujours donner le meilleur de lui-même. Jean-Junior a grandi avec 3 frères plus vieux que lui, il se dit aussi "fils à maman". Ce grand sportif fait aussi des marathons, de la méditation et est très proche de ses émotions! Ce qui risque de lui nuire sur l'île? Il fait peut-être trop confiance aux autres et est un brin impatient!^[2]

Survivor Québec[]

Jean-Junior was placed on the Tiyaga tribe where he immediately bonded well with Christophe Tiffet. Christophe was very well-liked by his tribemates and he formed a majority alliance with Sango Bien-Aimé, Sandrine Fortier, Kimberly Fortin, Marika Guay, and Jean-Junior, though Jean-Junior took the leadership reins of this group early on as they successfully voted out Simon Paradis-Lacroix and Isabelle Gagnon at their first two Tribal Councils.

On Day 16, a tribe switch took place; Sango stayed on Tiyaga alongside Marika, Jean-Junior, Christophe, and was joined by three women from the Kalooban tribe. At the site of the next Immunity Challenge, which the tribe lost, Sango picked up a Hidden Immunity Idol. Meanwhile, what Sango was unaware of was that Marika had plotted to defect from the Tiyaga Alliance. Fortunately for the men, Karine Lavigne-Fortin became interested in working with them and leaked Marika's plan to them, prompting them to turn on Marika. At Tribal Council, Karine confirmed her allegiance to the men by voting against Marika with them, eliminating her in a narrow 4-3 vote. When the Tiyaga tribe lost the next Immunity Challenge, Maryse Lauzon was primed to be the next target of the alliance, but she had developed a close relationship with Sango and gave a convincing plea to stay at Tribal Council, so they voted out Martine Larose Reda instead.

When the tribes merged into Pag-Asa, Christophe's majority alliance, which now also included Maryse and Karine, was able to regroup; they recruited yet another new member into their fold, Justine Turpin. Joël Dandurand was their first target for elimination, but when he won the first individual Immunity Challenge, they split the votes between Sylvain Béland and Nicolas Brunette instead. Sylvain was voted out for a second time and, without the Pag-Asa tribe's knowledge, sent to Redemption Island. In a surprise Double Elimination, the Tiyaga Alliance immediately had another chance to vote out Joël after he lost the intervening Immunity Challenge. The alliance split their votes between Nicolas and Joël; Joël played his Hidden Immunity Idol for himself and Sango played his own for Kimberly in order to establish loyalty. As a result, Nicolas was eliminated as collateral damage.

With nine contestants remaining in the main game, Sango wanted to make a move, so he took advantage of a reward that he shared with Sandrine, Maryse, and Justine; the four agreed to work with Joël to blindside Jean-Junior at the next Tribal Council. After Jean-Junior won the following individual Immunity Challenge, their target switched to Christophe. However, Justine preferred to work with Christophe's group in the long run and leaked Sango's conspiracy to them. Thus, with the majority alliance pivoted to targeting Sango instead of Joël at the next Tribal Council. Indeed, Sango was voted out in a narrow 5-4 vote and sent to Redemption Island.

With the majority alliance now shortened to five loyal people, its members easily voted out Joël, Maryse, and Sandrine over the following three cycles. On Redemption Island, Nicolas won the final duel against Sandrine and Sylvain and returned to the main game. While most of the tribe seemed to have the same short-term headspace to simply concentrate on voting Nicolas back out of the game, Jean-Junior began to discuss further moves with Christophe. Feeling that the pair and Karine were the "Three Musketeers" at this point, Jean-Junior suggested to Christophe that they cut Kimberly at the final five instead of Justine since Justine would be very easy to beat at the end. Unfortunately for Jean-Junior, Christophe had developed a soft spot for Kimberly over the cycles, so he told her about Jean-Junior's intentions. In response, the pair recruited Nicolas in a plan to stealthily blindside Jean-Junior at the next Tribal Council in a 3-2-1 vote. The plan succeeded, and Jean-Junior left the game in 6th place.

At the Final Tribal Council, Jean-Junior voted for Christophe to win the title of Sole Survivor in spite of the blindside; he lost to Nicolas alongside Kimberly in a 6-1-1 vote.
