Hello, everyone. Welcome back to You Thought You New, the podcast where we talk about survivor

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?

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
