Sole 'survivor: Tocantins' Chosen
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 course and completed a web shaped puzzle. Though it looked like Erinn may win the challenge, JT's head start worked to his advantage. At the tribal council JT and Stephen turned against their team member Taj and decided to vote her off the island, thinking that Erinn was easiest to go up against in the end. "I lost focus in The Game and that cost me The Game " Taj said of her being voted off. "[Erin's] not gonna beat both of us," JT told Stephen prior to the last immunity challenge that led to the final two contestants. On day 38, the ball-maze challenge ended with Erinn and Stephen literally dropping the ball and JT winning immunity for the third time in a row. "This is a game where you have to be ruthless," JT said after learning that Stephen considered breaking their promise of taking each other to the final two and was considering taking Erinn if he got immunity. "I don't think [JT] will betray me," Stephen said. JT honored his promise and voted Erinn off the island. As "the warrior" and "the wizard" went before the tribal council, it was "the warrior" JT that persevered in the end and won the vote unanimously, taking home $1 million![Read full story on The Insider]
