My sentiments exactly! I'm THRILLED to see TDT put JT-1, Stephen-2 and Taj-3!

It's certainly been reflected in the editing, especially this last fantabulous episode.

It's funny. When we saw those early shots in Ep.1 and 2 of JT/Stephen bonding, I thought those were sort of throw away moments about the city mouse and country mouse becoming friends. It never occurred to me that we might have been witnessing the final 2. Damn, I wish I...

Does anyone else think that there are more evacuations now?

If I were really cynical, I'd say that they evacuated Joe to save Brendan for plot purposes later. There have been other serious injuries before. But are they being stricter medically now? Did their insurance provider change?

I almost had a Janu flashback, thinking they were hoping Janu would quit to give Wonder Woman, er, Stephanie, another three days.

Should Joe have tried to pop that thing like...

You bring up an interesting question. As an over-educated blue-stater myself who admires shrewd scheming and plotting over strong essential survivor skills, I'd rather lose to the smart New Yorker Stephen than the strong Alabaman J.T. (thought I would be happy for either.)

Would the "coach" from rural Susanville favor the...

I'd think the only way culture would work to Stephen's advantage would be argument that he didn't come from an outdoorsy background, yet managed to last to the end. Which of course JT counters by pointing out that he's the one who taught Stephen the necessary skills to get that far.

Debbie is from south Alabama, too, I wouldn't guess she has issues with folks from down her way. If other jury members really are voting based on...

When I was a kid I would chew a Sassafrass leaf into a paste and put it on a cut. Sounds gross now days because of all the bacteria in your mouth, but crap ... if it was covered then the bugs wouldn't be eating at it. Every time I saw Joe's wound there was a damn bug in it. I saw one scene where Taj looked like she was squeezing a pimple while she was talking, no she was keeping the damn bugs away!

BTW, the last time I went to Coach's Web site it was closed down. The...

I think Tyson made a huge mistake by winning that first immunity - especially when he didn't need it. That moves the target squarely onto his back because now he's a huge liability to win them all the time. He should have dropped down and let Debbie have it.

That was an odd immunity challenge result. Tyson nor Debbie really needed it. Sierra maybe a little, so it was probably good for them to outlast her. I think what this tells us (again) is that they...

Actually JT and Stephen were the strategy kings of the game (despite what Coach said). Even with the "alliance" with Coach and Tyson secure, they still discussed which would be better, staying with C/T or staying with Taj / Brenden / Sierra. (I have to believe that Stephen outed the CTA to JT during this convo)

After Brenden gets wind of the plot, I think that it will be obvious to JT/Stephen that their chances for the end game are better with T/B/S. Tyson would be an...

Debbi is not the only one who we have not seen participating in any strategy sessions. Sierra and Erinn are AWOL as well which I think is odd because they both had at least one episode where you thought you may see some of their moves later on because they at least had some screen time. You have to believe that all three are thinking about the game and I would hope that we see some movement from them. If not, I can't see any of them making final three or two.

Brenden...

TYSON is a sneaky bastid and I LOVE him! best confessiionals ever!! Stupid move to win, should have let his girl Friday (debbie) win. once Sierra fell he should have gone down. That's gonna bite him in the butt.
Now he's got the most useless ugly necklace ever!!

True, it doesn't matter now anyways. But if I had been Joe, thinking that I had the real immunity idol, and then not having it as a result of the tribes merging and production not moving it over to the new camp with the rest of the tribes stuff, I would be PISSED.

And I like Erinn, but what the fuck? Was she really not able to figure out the immunity idol location from all the clues she had? I thought she was supposed to be this great puzzle wizard. And if she was lying to Joe...

I thought I heard Joe say he "left it at camp," which could mean that he didn't have it with him to show Erinn. Guess not. Doesn't matter now, anyway.

Yeah, in Portuguese, it's "força" -- although "forza" is strength in Italian.

LOVED that opening scene with Coach. As a music nut, I recognized Orff's "O Fortuna" right away. Does Coach really have that on his website? (I hate him so much that I refuse to visit his website.) Now that I think about it, that was a very interesting musical choice. I know in pop culture it is used to convey dramatic situations. The poem that it is based on is really about Fortune or Fate and man's struggle against it. Here is a translation of the last verse:

So is Brendan thinking he can wait out his Exile alliance while Jalapao gets whittled down by a few people? That's not going to work this season. Maybe in the past, when teams stuck together it may have made sense, but not with this group. I can't even remember the last time a dominant team was so ready to fragment themselves after the merge, although it probably has happened.
