5th Episode of Survivor Tocantins
The realty TV show Survivor Tocantins starts out this week at the Jalapao Tribe, day 13, and finding Taj saying she put Joe’s name down on the paper because she really didn’t want to put Sandy down. Taj then went and found the immunity idol. She handed it off to Stephen for safe keeping, as Taj thought she would be the one her tribe suspects as having it because of her many trips to Exile island.
Timbira, day 13, finding Sierra talking to Brendan about their alliance with Taj and Stephen from the Jalapao Tribe. She told Brendan that we rule! “We are going to take over the world.”
Challenge: Played in rounds, with one tribe member seated on a round platform, another tribe member will then race, pulling a rope attached to that platform, causing the tribe member to get dizzy. The dizzy castaway then must make their way across a balancing beam to the finish line. Each time they win a round, they score a point. The first tribe that has 3 points wins reward. The reward is being sent to the Charmin Cafe, enjoying some nice strong coffee, pastries, use of a modern toilet and lots of Charmin. In addition, the winning tribe will choose a member from the loosing tribe to go to Exile island, and that castaway will select someone from the winning tribe to join them. This means that one person from the winning tribe will not enjoy the Charmin Café.
Jalapao wins the reward. The tribe chooses Brendan to go to Exile island. Brendan chooses his alliance member, Stephen from the Timbira tribe, to join him. They then are able to tighten up their secret alliance.
At the reward the Jalapao members, minus Stephen, live it up with all kinds of pastries, coffee, and juices to drink. They all then received letters from home, and showed many tears of joy as they read their letters.
In Timbira, day 13, the tribe members are upset about not winning. Also, Coach is suspect about Brendan making friends with the Jalapao members on his stays at Exile island. Then the wind picks up and a big rain storm hits the camp.
Challenge: Two members from each tribe alternate launching balls out onto the course where the remaining castaways will catch the ball in their individual nets. They can catch a ball from either tribe, which will score a point for their tribe. The first tribe to get 5 catches will win immunity. The loosing tribe goes to tribal council where somebody will be voted out of this game.
Timberia Tribe wins the immunity. JT put in an amazing effort, and almost won it for Jalapoa. He even lost a tooth while playing.
At Jalapao Tribe, day 15, the members are frustrated over the brutal challenge and having to loose it. Taj thought Spencer was weak in the challenge.
At tribal council, the fifth person voted out of this realty tv Survivor Tocantins was Spencer, the 19 year old from Lakeland, Florida. He also decided during the game to never reveal to his fellow tribe members that he was gay.
In Spencer’s last words, “I lasted 15 days but definitely could have lasted a lot longer. I definitely made friends out there and hopefully they feel the same way.”
Spencer went on to say it is just frustrating that they feel like I wasn’t useful enough in Challenges. It was just a really bad Challenge for me today and I feel like as far as my attitude . . . I’ll work on that.

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.
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.
The skills he brings with him is the art of manipulation. He uses this skill very well while coaching a women’s soccer team. I might add that it was good coaching skills that brought us a winner on last season’s "Big Brother" house, another CBS reality show.
A lover of the outdoors, Brendan plans on using his leadership skills as a driving force on survivor. He is athletic, and has played both football and baseball in school, so he should do well in the physical competitions.
Besides her brains, she is a former Miss Ohio USA winner. She prides herself on her skills of mental combat, and can relate all different types of people. Her weakness is being able to deal with phony type people and might come across as a bitch to her fellow cast members.
