Welcome to the UNofficial Survivor Tocantins Fan Site!

Meet Tyson 

Tyson is 29 years old and is from Lindon, Utah.  He is a Professional Cyclist and a former Swimmer.  He sees himself as a natural athlete and sometimees as a "Jerk".  Although he believes he is the "life of the party" and will entertain his fellow castaways!

His game strategy will be one of lies and deceit and plans on feeding off of the emotional weakness of others.  He says he is street smart, as he is a Brigham Young University drop-out.  He as spent two years in the Philippines as a missionary for the Mormom church.

Tyson currently lives in Heber City, Utah.  He plans to use the one million dollar prize to buy an expensive motorcycle and use the rest of the money for selfish purposes.  So it sounds like the Mormons won’t be pulling for him to win!

New Survivor 18 

Survivor is a reality TV game show that is produced world-wide in different languages.  In the U.S. the show consists of cast members (contestants) who are dropped off in an isolated area of the world that is far away from civilization.  Each week the show goes through competitions for prizes, and ends up with usually one tribe member being voted off the show (island).  When there is only one final contestant remaining, he or she wins a million dollars.  In 2000, the first U.S. series was aired, and became a huge success.  The next series is Survivor 18 and will debut on Thursday, February 12, at 8:00pm ET/PT called Survivor Tocantins (pronounced “toe-can-cheens”).

Survivor Preview:

As the show name implies, it will take place in Tocantins, Brazil.  Tocantins is a river, about 2,639 km (1.640 miles) long, flowing from central Brazil near Brasilia northward to the Para River southwest of Belem.  While the producers keep the exact location a secret, we can only guess that the tribes will be set-up somewhere along this long river.

The state is beautiful, and absolutely stunning is some areas.  However, our cast will be complaining about the heat a lot.  Temperatures are well over 100, even while sitting in the shade.  They are also prone to having tropical storms.  The place looks like a very high desert, with only some trees.  Along the long river are jungle like terrain, and both tribes we are told will be situated on this same river.  Close by there is a small village with power lines running along the road, so they are not as remote as we think, but the contestants probably won’t know this.

Meet the new cast members:

History of Tocantins:

Tocantins is Brazil’s youngest state, created only in 1988 out of the northern part of Goiás. It received its name from the Rio Tocantins river, which flows through the state from south to north. The state’s main sources of revenue are stock-rearing and arable farming.  Their flag is now based on the colors used in the 19th century.
