| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome back to You Thought You New, the podcast where we talk about survivor |
| 0:20.3 | players that may be underrated, underappreciated, or just misunderstood. Each episode will try |
| 0:26.3 | to answer a question that's designed to make us challenge our preconceived notions about a famous |
| 0:31.0 | survivor contestant. Of course, there are no right answers. It's just an excuse to talk about |
| 0:36.1 | our favorite show. As always, I'm Nigel Bokenegra and I'm joined by my partner in crime, Kevin McClain. |
| 0:42.5 | Yes, excited to be here and we have a fun episode and a fun guest, so it's going to be a great time. |
| 0:47.5 | Yes, and we are joined by the Mary Kwikowski. Mary, how are you? |
| 0:52.6 | I'm great. Thanks for having me on. Although I will disagree with you, I think there is a |
| 0:57.2 | right answer and it's whatever I come up with. Love that. That's like my perspective on how all |
| 1:04.9 | things politics do. So Kevin, who we're going to be talking about today? We're going to talk |
| 1:11.2 | about JT Thomas and I can get started with this dramatic introduction. After he won survivor |
| 1:18.9 | Token Sheen's, JT became the first person to play a perfect game. With no votes cast again, |
| 1:24.2 | sim and winning unanimously against a worthy Steven Fishback, it was no surprise that he would be |
| 1:28.7 | invited to play again just two seasons later. However, in Heroes vs Villains, his move to give |
| 1:33.8 | Russell Hansen Idol would go down and dumb move infamy. At that point, several fans questioned |
| 1:38.9 | whether JT was ever that good at the game to begin with. And after another subpar showing in |
| 1:43.4 | survivor game changers, JT's legacy felt like a far cry from his dominant Token Sheen's win. |
| 1:48.9 | But should later appearances discredit in original performance? People were literally throwing |
| 1:53.3 | their games away for JT's aw-shocks attitude. You thought you knew JT Thomas? Well, we think we do. |
| 1:59.7 | And on this episode of You Thought You New, we'll be answering the question, is JT Thomas overrated? |
| 2:05.9 | So to sort of unpack this a little bit, Mary, what do you think makes someone an overrated survivor |
| 2:12.4 | contested? What kind of comes to your mind? It's really interesting because without giving away |
