January 28, 2009: Andy Dehnart of Reality
Blurred blogging fame posts a
late pre-game interview with JT.
Among the highlights:
"JT’s a fan of Survivor, and while he’s
'always watched it,' since he was 15 or 16, his application
for this season was the first, and was prompted by his mother,
who filled out the biographical information for him. But he
was ready for the game to begin. 'I’m a really
outdoors kind of person; this is really like the ultimate challenge,
adventure for me. It’ll be really fun,' he said."
January, 2009: CBS gets around to putting
up S18 content:
"A cattle manager raised in Samson, Alabama, JT
operates a registered Angus Cattle Ranch. In addition
to preparing the land and working the cattle, this southern
charmer is responsible for all the paperwork and marketing
associated with running the business.
This ambitious
24-year-old gets fired up when people insult his intelligence
and says 'I'm not a dumb
hillbilly, so don’t think it!' However,
this may be just the strategy that JT chooses to use
and isn’t above playing the 'dumb and innocent
country boy role' in an effort to gain alliances
with the women. JT attended Troy University and is
the first in his family to earn a Bachelors Degree.
His is in business administration.
A true family man,
JT values his relationships and will work towards forming
alliances that will take him very far in the game.
This strong country boy is competitive and determined
and will use manipulation in order to help him succeed
and ultimately win Survivor.
JT
is single and currently resides in Mobile, Ala. His
birthdate is June 23."
