Here is a cut and paste about the interview Dalton Ross of EW did with J.T. ***********************************
Never have I seen an entire cast of Survivor contestants fall in love with someone the way the crew in Tocantins fell head over heals in love with J.T. I’m not just talking about the bromance between him and Stephen, but as soon as the tribes merged, everyone — especially Coach and Brendan — were falling all over themselves to blow big wet kisses to the southerner. Brendan even said his new mission was not to win the game, but help J.T. win. WHAT?!? But can that possibly work again amongst a cast of jaded former players in Heroes Vs. Villains? Probably not. J.T. would be foolish to expect the same type of love-in he experienced in Tocantins. Still, he has a few things going for him. While J.T. can definitely be duplicitous (as his backstabbing of Brendan, Tyson, and Coach proves), those players still adored him even after he sent them home, which has allowed him to somewhat escape notice as a cutthroat strategist. J.T. is also extremely well rounded: hard worker, good in challenges, likeable guy. I can’t see an immediate rush to get rid of him. But J.T. is in a big rush to get rid of someone else: Cirie. When I asked him in Samoa right before the game started who he wanted gone first, there was no hesitation: “I cannot wait to get Cirie out of here. Cirie is a big player-eliminator and I don’t want her eliminating me.” (There are a lot of people gunning for Cirie, so I’m worried for her.) [Is J.T. headed for a showmance? That, plus exclusive on location video after the jump. The other intrigue with J.T involves Sugar. The two had something of some sort brewing romantically before the game began. Personally, I don’t really care to report the ins and outs of Survivors and their dating lives, but when it potentially impacts the game, then it is simply something that has to be addressed. (These prior relationships are what make all-star installments of Survivor so different from pure seasons that stick to the original goal of putting complete strangers on an island together and seeing how they mesh.) Suffice it to say, Sugar and J.T. seemingly had very different views of their relationship and where it stood going into the game. *************************************** I watched the video interview over at EW, and when Sugar was slipped into the interview she said that she and J.T. had not seen each other in awhile, and they were really avoiding each other's eye contact but she felt there was something that might could have been permanent there and maybe there might be a showmance (???). When Dalton asked J.T. about it he inferred there was nothing there and that he thought it was all a pre-interest thing for the show. Regardless, there will be no showmance since we all know now that Sugar goes how with the first boot.

TDT has revised their speculated/spoiled summary of the 1st episode: TDT originally thought the Villains won the RC because of fishing equipment with Villains in later pics, but it appears both tribes have fishing gear, so that is not a point. Because Barnett said in an interview that one gal was topless during the 1st challenge but continued to win it for her tribe, and because a poster "in the know" said that the villains had to strike sticks to make fire at the beginning, TDT now says that Heroes win the RC. So, the new summary for TDT is: RC: Heroes IC: Villains Boot: Sugar

I am so thankful Parvati is on the other team and won't have a chance to mess J.T.'s head up until at least the merge! How DOES that gal do it?

and she wont be able to mess with James either! I wonder why Russ lets her stay, he surely has to think she is a smart woman, which is his #1 reason to get rid of someone

Well, I am surprised that he got rid of Sugar! I was expecting him to go after one of the alpha males! Maybe Parvati already has old Russ under her evil spell! I really would like to sic her on Coach or Randy!

Thanks to Survivor Fever for a summary of the IC and some pics: ************************* Kirhoffer: Six of the players from each tribe race up and over the sand mounds. Come over, collect the pieces to the puzzle boat then it's a race out into the ocean to the fire barrel where they get some fire. They race back, disassemble the boat, take off those planks, drop them at the base of the wall. The four puzzle makers make one of the toughest puzzles ever in Survivor. Once that puzzle is done they can put the rungs in the wall. Once the ladder is complete they all run to the top, light fire and...immunity.

If you are tired of Parvati - please raise your hand. She's had her 16 minutes.

I see that Cirie is wearing her underclothes again, this time it is a while lacy cami. She is one of my least favourite players ever. I still like Tyson because of his spooky eyes.

I wonder what his job situation is now - whether he actually was able to get another coaching job?

Titan --- I went over to Survivor Fever and checked out his bio, and also the write-up that was done about him, and neither mentions his current job situation. It just says "Orchestra Conductor/Collegiate Soccer Coach" for his occupation. I did go to Google.com and found this bit I cut and pasted from an article about Coach Wade back in 2009 after he was fired from the coaching job. Benjamin told the paper, “The administration felt like ‘Survivor’ was me going to Hollywood. I loved my time at SBU. Obviously, now I’m off to pursue adventures in Hollywood. … This has opened up a whole new world to me. I loved being myself on camera. There’s going to be a lot of interest from the show in who I was and what I did. I’m definitely excited about that.”

The "State of the Spoiling" (SOTS} thread is up over at Survivor Blows, done this week by Kircon. The final summary agrees with the findings previously reported her that was brought over from TDT. Reward Challenge: Heroes Immunity Challenge: Villains Boot: Sugar
