Tucker Thomas

***Tucker*** was a castaway on ***One Surv1vor: Australia*** and later on ***One Surv1vor: All-Stars***

## Australia

On day 1, Tucker was placed on the Tanami tribe, where he found a solid ally in Cora. Despite his tribe not losing any challenges before the swap, they did take a hit when Kai was medically evacuated from the game, leaving them with only four members left.

Tucker swapped to the new Tirari tribe on day 6 with his close ally Cora. Although Tucker's place in the tribe was uncertain and still very questionable, it would never be a concern as his tribe won all the post-swap immunity challenges. Unfortunately for Tucker, a new issue for him came to light, Neil. Tucker very quickly grew annoyed with Neil and the way he portrayed himself in the tribe. On the other hand, with meeting new people, also came meeting new potential allies for Tucker. He even got into a new alliance with his close ally Core and two new allies, Leftie and Trevor. Although he would never have to worry about testing these loyalties, he seemed to be in a considerably strong position on the new Tirari tribe.

On day 13, Tucker made it to the merge where he found himself in many new alliances: one with Cora, JT, Leftie, and Trevor, and the other being a larger one with Chicken, Cora, Dat, Leftie, and Pepper. Tucker appeared to be in a solid position in the merge with having many allies and lots of options to approach it.

Troubles began to surge after Neil wasted all the merge tribe's rice by eating it all, which led to a chaotic debate about how to get more rice and how tome forward with a new system. Although the incident ended up being resolved, the aftermath of it all only began to increase the tension and chaos within the game. Tucker saw Neil as his ideal target for the first merge tribal, but when Neil won individual immunity, Tucker and the rest of the tribe had to reconsider their options. After much distortion and chaos of everyone strategizing about the vote, the tribe unanimously voted Pepper out.

At the next immunity challenge, Tucker was able to claim victory and earn immunity. However, with another chaotic tribal on the verge, this round was anything but easy for Tucker. Initially Tucker seemed on board with the idea of finally voting Neil out, but he and his ally Cora knew their best bet was to make a move against Trevor. So at tribal council, despite having the majority on their side, the vote ended in a tie due to Neil forgetting to vote and receiving a self vote. This led to everyone but Neil and Trevor having to revote for one of those two, in this case, Cora and Tucker got their way as they took out Trevor.

Going into the next round, Tucker was hoping that they could finally take a shot at getting Neil out, but he kept in mind that in the event that Neil does win immunity, that his next best move would be to take Leftie out. Despite his initial feelings towards Neil, Tucker decided to play along with Neil's plan to make sure Leftie lost immunity. And when it came down to it, Neil secured immunity into the final six, leaving Tucker to consider voting out Leftie. With little need to convince most of the tribe and Leftie basically already accepting her fate, Tucker was able to get his way.

At the final six, Tucker knew he finally needed to take the shot at Neil he had been wanting to for a while. All Tucker needed was to make sure Neil lost immunity, and he did just that when he won immunity himself. With Neil vulnerable and nobody else seemingly wanting to make any other move than to take him out, it became clear that Tucker would finally be able to get rid of Neil, and he did.

With only five people left in the game, options were limited for Tucker in almost all aspects, including who he could trust. After JT won immunity, Tucker's number one ally Cora, was gunning for him for being the next big threat in her eyes. Tucker wavered on what he wanted to do countless times, but when push came to shove, he decided to appeal to his long time ally to make a move against Dat. At tribal council however, Tucker's co-reign came to an end as he was unanimously voted out in a **4**-1 vote, making him the fifth member of the jury.
