He was unrefined, gruff, crass, a little
rude, and he spoke his mind, but Big Tom
Buchanan was a living riot, a sentiment
shared by hordes of fans and onlookers who
began rooting for him early on. In
the end Tom finished a respectable fourth
in Africa, falling victim to Kim Johnson's
stunning buzz-saw finish that essentially
shanghaied a second-place prize from the
Tom-Lex-Ethan alliance that had dictated
events throughout.
Particularly
interesting was the fact that Tom's final
four finish owed itself entirely to the
sheer force of his dominant yet likeable
personality. In 38 days' time he
didn't win a challenge, and yet his
chances to go the distance were as good as
anyone's right up until the final four
vote that forced his ouster.
Here at
SurvivorHunks.com we caught ourselves
envying the farmer-slash-goat-herder more
than once, most notedly anytime he played
shower-marm to the ladies who called upon
his sturdy hand to ladle their bathing
water. Good ol' boy or not it's hard
to imagine that Big Tom is privy to such
curves back on the farm!
