Survivor Tocantins is over, and it’s been another strong season. From my first conversations with the cast to Ben Wade’s firing to Coach Wade’s elimination, never mind everything else that happened, it’s been a dramatic season. I’d place it in the top third of all seasons, but since the show has been exceptionally strong these [...]
Well, I am sorry this is so late, but better late than never…right?
This one will be short and sweet and not all that clever — just the facts ma’am. (Name that show….)
As far as the outcome of the show, I was not surprised. Having sat in on the final tribal council it seemed pretty clear [...]
Here’s an excerpt of one of the 3 interviews with the runner-ups.
Please be a real warrior, with honor and integrity, and click through to read the whole story.
She was in a good mood despite saying that Stephen and JT’s betrayal “really hurt my feelings,” because it was “completely unnecessary.” She said “I didn’t [...]
Despite forming a close bond through the entire season of Survivor Tocantins, J.T. and Stephen were put to the test in the finale when J.T. won the final challenge and had to choose between Stephen and Erinn. Although it seemed like an easy decision for J.T. to take his closest ally, their surviving final three [...]
Although Taj and Erinn outlasted all of the other women to make it into the round of final four, J.T. and Stephen eventually turned on Taj to send her packing from the game before J.T. won the final challenge, stuck to his word, and took Stephen into the final Tribal Council instead of Erinn.
The morning [...]
“Survivor: Tocantins” winner James J.T. Thomas Jr. said he wants it known that while he may have some big plans for his million-dollar winnings, he intends to return to his life and job in the Mobile area.
Thomas manages an operation with 112 head of registered Angus cows, along with 70 calves that are a year [...]
After the show and the reunion, there was a red carpet, where us press-types got to talk to the final four about their experience and either winning or losing, and in some cases what they thought of the larger than life personality known as Coach.
After the hugs and kisses with their family, they were whisked [...]
Everyone has a crush on J.T. It’s just the way it is. He’s one of those rare dudes who effortlessly pulls everyone in by sheer force of personality. Anyone who claims to dislike J.T. is bitter or jealous or both, and are only masking their own latent crush on the Alabaman cattle rancher. As [...]
Last night, on the season finale of Survivor: Tocantins, JT and Stephen continued to run the game by blindsiding Taj and then voting Erinn out at the followin tribal council. With immunity around his neck, JT stayed true to his word, bringing Stephen to the finals with him. In only the second time in Survivor [...]
ET talks to “Survivor: Tocantins” runner-up Stephen Fishbach, who reveals his shocking weight loss, his thoughts on “Coach” Ben Wade and his biggest regret.
ET: How does it feel to know all these people have been watching your adventures?
Stephen: It’s such a different experience to watch it and to live it. When I left, I felt [...]
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). [...]
Stephen was the first person JT hugged after Jeff Probst read the votes.
Taj best summed up JT’s victory, arguing that no one ever proposed voting for him and his name “just never came up because he was too sweet,” and said, “you just can’t find anything wrong with him.”
Part of his smart game play was [...]
As always, the final votes are read live from the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. I miss the old days, when Jef Probst would arrive by helicopter or parachute down into the city with the dramatic tribal music playing behind him.
I love the reveal of the Survivors on live TV. [...]
Survivor is returning to the South Pacific for the eighth time, as its 19th season will be filmed in the island nation of Samoa. It’s in the same cluster of islands as Fiji, the Cook Islands, and Vanuatu, while Micronesia, Palau, and Borneo are not far away.
Survivor Samoa will be taped this summer and air [...]
Stephen feels an enormous weight taken off him with JT’s win. Stephen says that it would be such a scumbag decision to take Erinn and having that taken away from him is a good feeling. Erinn tells JT that she won’t get any votes from Timbira but she might get one from Taj. He asks [...]
The “Survivor: Tocantins” season finale began with three Jalapao tribe members remaining (JT, Stephen and Taj) and only one Timbira tribe member (Erinn) left in the competition. See who got the final immunity necklace, and which contestant became the sole “Survivor,” winning $1 million.
JT got immunity after the four contestants raced through a tarantula obstacle [...]
At some point, most parents stand by while someone else coaches their children. We don’t always get to choose those coaches which for the most part, works out fine., But there are times when the kids (or the parents) have a problem with the coach:, If they are young you can step in but what [...]
Here we go, Coach is opening his mouth. He asks both men who thinks they played the most honest and noble game. I think Steve’s vote against Coach at tribal will hurt him here. Frankly, I’m a little disappointed that Coach didn’t go off into the nether reaches of metaphysics in his moment on center [...]

(S18E14) Well, tonight was it for Survivor Tocantins. It’s hard to believe that the 18th season of the show is a wrap. Why, wasn’t it just a few years ago that Richard Hatch was the evil fat naked gay guy and all the talk around the watercooler? We’ve progressed a lot during [...]

The vote for J.T. was unanimous, and there haven’t been many earlier winners as popular. (I still have very fond feelings for Ethan, though.) This season played out like one big “man date” between Stephen and J.T., the city mouse and the country mouse. They dreamed together, they plotted together, they [...]
