Welcome to the UNofficial Survivor Tocantins Fan Site!

Meet Tamara 

Tamara is 37 years old, and is from Nashville, Tenn.. She is a former Pop Star, and goes by the name "Taj."  She was nominated for a Grammy with her soul group SWV ("Sisters With Voices"), and maybe us fans can hear her sing on the show!  The group sold over six million records. She has also been a successful author of the book, "Player HateHER, How To Avoid The Beat Down And Live In A Drama Free World."

Tamara is married to a Heisman Trophy winner and former Tennessee Titan running back Eddie George, and the mother of two boys.  She says she is "naturally distrustful" because of the physical abuse and mental abuse from growing up in Brooklyn.  She believes she is a true survivor of life.

She will probably do well in physical competitions.  She jogges, swims, works out, and does kickboxing and yoga.  She is also a strong woman, besides her brains, which could make her a big asset to the tribe for winning amunities.

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.
