Who is the first to go on Survivor: Tocantins Update
Survivor: Tocantins - Did Dayton native Candace Smith make it through for another week?
This season’s show is set in an area of 100,000 square miles in Brazil. The area features brutal temperatures of up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and, according to the show’s host, is one of the most isolated places on earth.
So true to form, within five minutes of the show starting 2 team members are voted off… They are Sandy and Sierra - although in Survivor style - Jeff lets everyone know that he just said two members wouldn’t be participating in this challenge and the two take a helicopter t to the camp sight.
The two tribes to start the season are Jalapao and Tibira.
The first challenge of the their 39 days together is to building stairway and solve a puzzle. The Dayton native found herself on the winning tribe. Tribe Jalapao will be voting off a tribemate - so who will it be? will Sandy be voted off - again?
Nope - the tribe quickly realized the 50 something woman is an asset and that Carolina had to go.
First voted off this season’s show is… Carolina! - I agree!

I am excited about this season too. Did you know that Tamara Johnson-George is a singer of the former group SWV and her husband is retired Pro Football player for the Tennesse Titans Eddie George? He is also a graduate of The Ohio State University! I am curious to see how far she goes!
