Thomas was one of the most surprising players for me to see go far this season. Starting off on the males tribe, Thomas quickly went through with his plan to lay low and form bonds with many of the men on his tribe, as he knew they were well set off in challenges. This proved to be a very intelligent strategy, as it quickly made him sit in a comfortable position in his tribe as they didn't attend any of the tribals before the tribe swap. Once the tribe swap hit, Thomas once again found himself on a physically dominate tribe, with fellow tribe members Bladez and Luca, as well as Cher and Maggie. He sat in a majority alliance on the tribe, but even then his tribe members saw him as shady and flip floppy. At the merge, his connections with Lala as well as Ethan landed him into the alliance of 6 that dominated the first few votes of the merge. After being blindsided at Luca's vote out and getting exposed for trying to take out James, Thomas once again tried to take out another player in that foursome of Lala, James, Ethan, and Bladez, by voting Bladez. When this plan failed and his ally Bena was sent home due to rocks, Thomas hit the ground running and tried to integrate himself back into the foursome, but after voting Lala all trust was gone. When a surprise double tribal took the tribe by a shock, Bladez tried to rally the troops to take out Ethan. Thomas, a pivotal player in this move, was neglected to be told as time was of the essence at this tribal council. Thomas cast his vote against dominate player Lala, but because he was failed to get told the plan, his ally Cher was sent home to the jury. At his last tribal council of the game, Thomas was sent home due to his relationships with the jury and how many people were rooting for him to win. Thomas played a great game and it's believed that had he been told about the plan at the final six, he could've taken the game in his hands.
