Survivor: Tocantins winner announced

Cape Town - James "JT" Thomas Jr. has been crowned the winner of Survivor: Tocantins, the 18th season of the popular reality competition show.

The cattle rancher from Alabama walked away with all seven votes from the jury members, beating out finalist Stephen Fisbach.

After winning the final immunity challenge, JT took his long-time ally Stephen with him to the final two, eliminating Erinn Lobdell.

JT was crowned the winner in May 2009 when the season ended in the US.

He is also the sixth person to win the prize without having any votes cast against him at tribal council, and he joins Survivor: Fiji winner Earl Cole as the only Survivor contestants to win by a unanimous vote.
