reality blurred + JT Thomas wins $1.1 million after a unanimous vote, but was “really worried”

JT Thomas wins $1.1 million after a unanimous vote, but was ''really worried.''
In a near-repeat of the Survivor Gabon finale, the nice guy won $1.1 million in the finale, winning both the jury’s vote and viewer votes for fan favorite. But unlike Bob Crowley, JT Thomas won unanimously, becoming only the second player in the show’s history to do that (Survivor Fiji’s Earl Cole was the first). It was a good ending and outcome for a strong but not quite spectacular season.
JT did not, however, expect to win unanimously, nor did he expect to win. He just told me that he expected the final vote to be “4-3,” and “thought for sure Stephen would have at least three votes.” JT said, “I was really worried,” and that his decision about taking Stephen to the final two with him—instead of the last-remaining Timbira tribe member Erinn Lobdell—would have been “a lot easier” if he’d had an idea it would be such an easy win.
JT cited his friendships with the jury, although he noted that “Stephen also made really good relationships” and together they were “the two most-liked people, according to fellow cast members.” But JT said “Stephen got more parnoid than I did” and the “final Tribal Council really went in my favor.”

I think they need to mix up the game. It would be good to have the people that are in the bottom 3 on a challenge to be the ones that are to be voted on going home. This would force everyone to play hard and the weaker players would not just bribe there way to the end.

ARE YOU SAYING MUSCLE SHOULD WIN? I DON’T THINK SO. THAT WOULD LEAVE OUT ANYONE THAT HAD BRAINS FOR THE BRAUNY ONES.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, I’M SO GLAD J.T. WON. HE HAD MORE INTEGRITY THAN ANY ONE ELSE. THAT SLIMY STEVE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE! IF J.T. GOES INTO BUSINESS WITH HIM, HE’LL BE STABBED IN THE BACK LIKE HE ALMOST WAS IN THIS GAME. MOST OF THE FOLKS I’VE TALKED TO FEEL THE SAME. IF STEVE WON, IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE END OF SURVIVOR. AS FOR COACH, HE’S ANOTHER RICHARD. DRAGON SLAYER, DUH, BE REAL.
