• Quotes

  "Two tribes will be stranded in the majestic interior of Brazil for 39 days. The only relief in the midst of this unforgiving land is a river oasis [called] the Rio Novo. Scorching temperatures, torrential downpours, dangerous wildlife -- who will have what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast all the others? Find out on Survivor: Tocantins -- The Brazilian Highlands."—Jeff ProbstReality TV World: CBS confirms 'Survivor 18' to be in Brazil, be called 'Survivor: Tocantins' (December 14, 2008)

  "Survivor: Brazil is going to be very different from Gabon. A lot of likable people and a very differently played game. I think you are going to like it."—Jeff ProbstEW.com: Jeff Probts Blogs the Survivor Gabon Finale (December 15, 2008)

• How to Win

  The contestants will try to "outwit, outlast and outplay" each other for 39 days and vote each other off one by one until there are three contestants remaining. Of those three, the "jury," the last contestants eliminated, will cast their vote for one of the remaining three to win the grand prize of $1 million.
