Survivor

John was initially placed on the Goliath tribe. During the marooning, the Goliaths selected John and Alison Raybould to participate in the opening Reward Challenge, though they lost to the David tribe's Christian Hubicki and Lyrsa Torres, as the stipulations of the challenge allowed for the Davids to pick the easier route to take. During his time on Goliath, John was recruited to a majority alliance with Alec Merlino, Angelina Keeley, Dan Rengering, Kara Kay, and Natalia Azoqa, though he privately expressed a desire to work with outsider Natalie Cole. John warned Natalie that she was rubbing the tribe the wrong way, but this just caused her to become more overbearing. When Goliath lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 9, John joined the tribe in unanimously voting out Jeremy Crawford.

When the Tribe Switch occurred the following day, John, along with Alison and Dan, were switched to the new Tiva tribe, along with former David members Christian and Gabby Pascuzzi. Over the next few days, John and Dan bonded with Christian, and the three formed a "brochacho" alliance. Tiva proved to be the most dominant of the three tribes, winning every Immunity Challenge the tribe competed in, allowing John to make it to the merge.

After the tribes merged into the Kalokalo tribe on Day 18, John regrouped with the former Goliaths. When Angelina suggested that Christian should be the first boot for being the biggest threat among the former Davids, John and the rest of the Goliaths shut down her idea, and preferred to go after former David Elizabeth Olson, whom they saw as the safe vote, eliminating her at the next Tribal Council. The next day, Mike White suggested to the other Goliaths that Christian needed to go next as he was too big of a threat to win, which John agreed on. Following the Immunity Challenge on Day 22, John was still on board with the plan, but felt somewhat guilty as he liked Christian. At Tribal Council, Davie Rickenbacker played his Hidden Immunity Idol on Christian, leading to Dan playing his idol on Angelina in response. The seven votes against Christian and two votes against Angelina were negated, and John was shockingly blindsided after it was revealed that the Davids split their votes between him and Angelina, becoming the second member of the jury

At the Final Tribal Council, John asked former David Nick Wilson and Mike to talk about how they outwitted. He voted for Nick to win who won in a 7-3-0 vote.
