Best Survivor Casts – Number 3: Tocantins (Season 18)

Survivor: Tocantins didn’t have a ton of jaw dropping moments, but the cast without a doubt carried this season and made it into the legendary season that it is. Here are some of the names we were introduced to in Tocantins:

J.T. (Winner)
Stephen (Runner-Up)
Coach
Tyson
Erinn
Taj
Sierra
Brendan

All of those players listed above made a huge mark on the season and that’s why the post-merge in Tocantins is one of the best ever. If Tocantins didn’t have Coach, it’d have been an entirely different season, but even Tyson with his one-liners and Erinn with her dry sense of humor would have been enough to keep the season afloat.

J.T. is easily one of the most likable winners ever and his alliance with Stephen, Erinn, and Taj goes down as one of the most likable alliances in the show’s history. Tocantins was a part of one of the best streaks in Survivor history as far as consecutive good seasons went and the cast was the biggest reason as to why.
