The story

Alan Ball, a former NFL defensive back, is best remembered for a paranoid early-game meltdown: convinced JP and Ashley had a secret final two, he accused them publicly and infamously had JP strip down to prove he wasn't hiding an idol.

After the first swap, he was 'idoled out' — Joe Mena played a hidden idol that voided the votes against Joe, leaving Alan as the lone target. He was eliminated on Day 11.
