I'm sure my dad will impress me with everything he does and how he will play his social game. It will be more fun playing the game of Survivor with him because I will have somebody on the island that I could 100% trust when things get tough or when big moves need to be made.[1]

Survivor: San Juan del Sur

Wes Nale completed with his father, Keith on Survivor: San Juan del Sur. The men had a difficult time during Day Zero, having lost their "Striker" and spent the night without fire. When it was time to separate, Wes' buff was orange and he was placed on the Coyopa tribe. During the first few days of the game, Wes believe that he was on the same tribe as John Rocker because of watching Baseball in his youth. John denied this, because of his controversial "Sports Illustrated" interview which gotten him labelled racist and homophobic. At the Immunity Challenge, Coyopa was initially leading but lost after struggling with the puzzle. Wes agreed with Dale Wentworth that Nadiya Anderson was a huge threat because of her being on The Amazing Race. She was the first person voted out of the game in a 5-3-1.

At the Immunity Challenge on Day 5, Wes faced of against Jeremy Collins and won, scoring a point for his tribe. However, Coyopa lost the challenge when Jaclyn Schultz lost her 2nd match against Kelley Wentworth. The men of the tribe decide to Split the Vote between Val Collins (who claimed to have two Hidden Immunity Idols) and Baylor Wilson. The vote was tied 4-4 and Val was voted out in a revote 5-1. At the next Hero's Duel, Coyopa won the rock-paper-scissors to decide who would compete in the duel. Wes volunteered himself, believing he would win against his dad. Wes was confident that he would win against his dad. Wes did win the duel for his tribe and picked fishing gear over comfort items. Wes also chosen Josh Canfield to join his father on Exile Island. Wes was hoping Coyopa would win the Immunity Challenge because they were eating fish. This was not the case as Coyopa lost the challenge again. Wes agreed with Josh that John should go after his outburst after losing the challenge. John was blindsided in a 5-2 vote. However at the next Immunity Challenge, Coyopa was finally able to win.

On Day 10 at the Hero's arena, there was a Tribe Switch. Wes ended up on Hunahpu , but his father ended up on the new Coyopa. Unlike at Coyopa, Hunahpu had very little rice. Wes, like the other Coyopa's were upset by this. While the Hunahpu won the Immunity Challenge, They plead with Jeff Probst for more rice. The next day, Jeff came and gave them rice at the expense of nearly all of their rewards accumulated over the course of the game. At the next, Hero's Duel, Reed Kelly won the tribe a Survivor Barbecue. Unfortunately, heavy rains came after the food was eaten. At the next Immunity Challenge, Hunahpu came from behind to win immunity yet again.

On Day 16, The tribes would merge and the castaways was given a feast to celebrate. Wes was happy and considered the feast the highlight of the game.  Keith immediately join his son and the alliance of Josh. Wes lost the Immunity Challenge to his father. However, Tribal Council was cancelled because of Julie McGee quitting the game. At the next Reward Challenge, Wes and Keith were on the winning team along with Jeremy, Natalie and Reed. The Group won a trip to a taco bar. However, the food cause Wes to be extra gassy. This annoyed Baylor and Jaclyn. The initial target, Jeremy Collins won immunity so Josh turned the target toward Baylor for her being non committal towards him. However, Josh was the one who ended up getting the boot.

Wes would stay safe for the next few days as he was not the target. Jeremy would be voted out next due to a falling out with Jon. On the Day 24 Reward Challenge, Wes ended up on the losing team and gotten exiled. At the Immunity Challenge, Wes would ultimately step down for some chicken wings and some beer. Reed gathered his alliance to take advantage of a Split Vote and blindside Jon. Unfortunately, Jon was tipped off at Tribal Council by Keith to stick to the plan and Natalie Anderson urging him to play his idol. Keith also played his idol after Wes declined the idol when Keith offered it to him. As Wes was the only one with votes that counted against him, Wes was the only eliminated from the game. Wes fist pump his dad on his way out.

At Final Tribal Council, Wes congratulated the finalists and told them how wonderful it was to play with his father. Wes then asked the women who it was to play with their loved ones. Missy said it was a dream come true and said she adored Keith. Jaclyn said that her expierience with Jon was a communication thing and was overall great. Natalie said she was never apart from Nadiya for very long and hoped to make her proud. Wes voted for Natalie to win the title of Sole Survivor.
