| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome back to You Thought You New, the podcast where we talk about survivor |
| 0:20.6 | players that may be underrated, underappreciated, or just misunderstood. Each episode, we try |
| 0:27.3 | to answer a question that's designed to make us challenge our preconceived notions about a |
| 0:32.4 | famous survivor contested. Of course, there are no right answers. It's just some excuse to talk |
| 0:38.2 | about our favorite show. I'm Nigel Bokenegra, and as always, I'm joined by my co-host, Kevin McClain. |
| 0:44.7 | Yes, excited to be here. We're talking about a survivor fan favorite, and I also think we can |
| 0:50.1 | do it with an RHAP fan favorite. So this is like, this is an exciting time. Yes, and what a treat |

| 1:48.7 | electrified the audiences with his gentle giant persona and his enormous biceps. There's no denying |
| 1:54.5 | he was a popular icon of the show. He's the oling one of three contestants to win the fan favorite |
| 1:59.3 | award twice and he was the first one to do it consecutively. But why was James so popular? |
| 2:05.0 | In a show with a catchphrase of Out-Wit Outplay Outlast, he did lack in multiple categories. |
