Survivor Finale Results

The tribe has spoken! The cattle rancher JT Thomas has been named the sole Survivor of season 18. JT won as most predicted and it was between him and Stephen for the final two. He won $1 million for his efforts and was choosen by a 7 member "survivor jury." The vote was unaminous no less making this a less than exciting season finale.

JT owns a cattle ranch in Samson, Alabama and says he intends to invest the money and make it grow.

If you think you can handle Survivor then check out getting on season 20 where they have just opened casting.

Survivor Finale Tonite!

The season finale of "Survivor Tocantins: The Brazilian Highlands "is tonight on CBS at from 8:00 pm-10:00pm est. It is down to the final four. A winner will be declared on live television and take home the $1 million dollar prize. Over the past 11 episodes the original cast of 16 has been trimmed down to the four remaining players who are competing for the $1 million dollar prize.

This has been a great season with the usual alliances, broken trusts, blindsides and surprises.

Here are the current odds to win from Andy Dehnart of MSNBC:

JT
Odds of winning: Extremely high

Alabama cattle rancher JT may appear to be "a dumb hillbilly," as he said in his CBS bio, but he's most certainly not, as he's been brilliant in the game. Since the merge, he's been in control along with his friend, Stephen, and together they make a great team. They've made great strategic choices and have been able to see through others' lies. JT's personality has also helped him play a strong social game, and he has remained friends with the people he essentially betrays, like Coach. Because his strategy has been great and everyone likes him so much, the game is his to lose.

Stephen
Odds of winning: Right up there with JT

Along with JT, Stephen has been in control of the game, and although he might not win in a final three against JT, Stephen deserves a lot of the credit. He's not the most amazing physical player, as he'd be the first to admit, but his incredible immunity challenge win last week proved that he is a competitor all around. (He memorized a series of symbols by creating a system, and thus came from far behind to win.) Stephen's only real competition is his closest friend and ally JT, and it remains to be seen whether or not he'll turn on his pal in order to win the $1 million for himself.

Taj
Odds of winning: Against Stephen and JT, practically zero

Singer and NFL wife Taj has proven herself to be a surprisingly strong player all around. But her strategic peak came earlier in the season, when she formed a four-person alliance at Exile, including with members of the other tribe. That was a great endgame strategy, as it set her up well to go into the merge, but Timbira's suspicions about her cross-tribe ally Brendan helped lead to its downfall. Since then, she's mostly just been the third wheel of JT and Stephen's alliance, and if they end up as the final three, she will probably receive no votes, since they have earned the credit.

Erinn
Odds of winning: Not great

The mere fact that Erinn is still in the game is impressive, since she was one of Coach's early targets. She has flown under the radar for most of the season, always managing to stick around without standing out too much. While she's persevered, she also hasn't stood out as a strategic player. Unless she wins some of the final immunity challenges, she probably won't make the final three. But if she does, unless she makes a big move, like one that gets rid of JT or Stephen, it's unlikely that she'll get credit — or votes — from the jury.

The winner will be declared live on CBS tonight from 8-10pm est. My pick is on JT. I think he has played the game better than anyone in recent memory and is truly a Survivor All-Star. If you think you can handle Survivor they are also still casting for Season 19 and have just opened casting for Season 20. Good luck!
