Tommy Lyons

**Tommy Lyons** is a contestant from *Survivor: Chile* and *Survivor: Philippines*.

Tommy holds the distinction as one of the two people to not be placed on a tribe, along with Felicia Wang, who was also not picked during the schoolyard pick on *Chile*. Tommy came into the game feeling he would be an asset, but an early fight with Nakala Walker about building a shelter threw his game off and he came off as abrasive. Because of his feisty attitude the first couple of days, he was not chosen for a tribe and was subsequently eliminated on Day 2.

Returning for *Philippines*, Tommy had a second shot at winning the game after being placed on the Mayon tribe. His personality was perceived as abrasive by his tribemates, but Tommy was kept around as an alliance number for many people pre-merge. Once at the merge, Tommy was never a huge target because many people didn't like the way he treated them, so players like Heather purposely kept him in the game so they could go against him and win. Tommy almost went home after Tammy hatched a plan to get rid of a returning player over herself, but he played a Hidden Immunity Idol he found the day of Tribal Council to save himself. Despite Tommy's unlikability, he made it to the Final Tribal Council. Tommy was criticized for his attitude and negative energy around camp, though he was praised for playing a cutthroat game and stomping on his enemies. In the end, Tommy received one vote from his *Chile* castmate, Felicia, making him the Runner-Up.
