"I was the winner of 'The Circle', so I don't think anyone—including myself—expected me to go home on the first night," Joey muses as he leaves GOAT Manor in his exit interview.

"People knew what I was bringing to the table," the Netflix reality star added. "I think, frankly, there's a lot of people who are intimidated by that. I'm a big personality; I came here to be the GOAT, but unfortunately, it's not me."
