With all The Jury having their shot, Jeff explains again that tonight, they
will be voting for who wins the million dollars.  Each casts their ballots
beginning with Brendan.  We don't see any of the votes except for Coach
writing "The" on his sheet.  After all have voted, Jeff grabs the urn and
tells the gang he'll see them in New York City.  Jeff then walks off set and
instantly, through the magic of television, walks on stage at Radio City.
He starts counting the votes.

JT IS THE WINNER!!!  For the second time in "Survivor" history, it was
a unanimous vote, 7-0!  James Thomas Jr leaps off stage and hugs his
family.

The reunion show begins after the commercial break.  JT admits that it
was very hard out in the wild.  By Day 12, he was questioning his decision
to participate.  He adds that he selected Stephen as his ally because he
saw Stephen was also working hard around camp.

We learn that JT and Stephen had a 'mole', that Coach would tell them
everything going on with the rest of the tribe.  Stephen said it hurt a lot
admitting he'd take Erinn to the Finals.  Brendan said that Timbira was
too dysfunctional, which explains why they got blindsided by the J3.
Erinn said her alliance with the J3 was to get her to the Final Four.  She
knew Timbira would have booted her sooner.

Taj says the obvious, that everyone liked JT, which is why he never got
a single vote in Tribal Council.  Jeff shows the tooth JT lost during a
challenge, and presents it to his mom.  She's very proud of her son and
says she's been telling him for three years that he could win "Survivor".

Taj admits that she went through a major culture shock out in the wilds.
She shows off her many bug bites.  Her husband is very proud of her.
Tyson is still a jerk.  LOL!  That guy needs help.  Sierra says she had
it extra rough, struggling from the beginning after almost being booted
off Day One.

We then get a long chat with Coach.  He's still bragging and being a
loon.  Jeff brings up the Amazon adventure story. Jeff says he offered
for Coach to take a lie detector test, but was turned down.  Coach says
he did take one with an independent firm and gave Jeff the sealed results.
It confirms that Coach was telling the truth!  LOL!  Coach brought his
coaching staff to the show plus his girlfriend.  She tells Jeff there is
another side to Coach and that she gets her way with him.  Hahaha!

Jeff announces that the Sprint Fan Favorites were JT, Taj and Sierra.  JT
got the most votes and wins another $100,000 from that.  We then learn
that Debra's school is proud of her, despite her portrayal.  Joe is doing
better now.  The rest of the deluge is doing fine after the series.  JT says
that he and Stephen may work together on some project.

Jeff then announces that the 19th season of "Survivor" will take place
in the Samoan Island chain.  Made famous in "Treasure Island" by
Robert Lewis Stevenson.  It will be airing in the fall.

So ends the 18th season.  It was a good one with many more highs than
lows.  The franchise delivered once again, proving that it is the Daddy
of Reality TV.
