Exactly... otherwise, why show us that his perseverance paid off. The fact that he can now make fire is very important, it seems. I'm having a great time, waiting for Coach to receive his comeuppance. Brendan: "None of us have ever done this before!" Coach: "I have." So funny! If there is more of that next week, I suppose it could justify Brendan being voted off. I loved Jeff asking him if his story was true or just the movie version of what he'd like to happen.

I believe that Sierra will have the vote that sends Tyson home and Sierra will be the one responsible for taking Coach down. Revenge is sweet. See, here's the thing. Coach and Tyson voted against Brendan and Sierra. Brendan and Sierra voted against Coach and Tyson. Tit-for-tat. Sierra SHOULD feel betrayed by Taj and Stephen. Sure, Tyson insults her to her face, but she SHOULD be more pissed off at Taj and Stephen. But I agree with everyone else that J/S/T/E/S take out one of the other three next week.

Sure, Tyson insults her to her face, but she SHOULD be more pissed off at Taj and Stephen." Why? Taj and Stephen made their move as part of gameplay and if Sierra was smart she would simply let it go. Sierra needs allies, any that she can get and Taj/Stephen (and by extension JT) would welcome her throwing in with them... On the other hand Tyson made it personal... flat out called her stupid to her face. That was hurtful, unecessary and uncalled for. What purpose did it serve other than to make Tyson feel good about himself and humuliate Sierra? Also do not discount that Tyson and Coach from all indications have treated her like dirt from the get-go. And we also know that Tyson is pretty outspoken spewing whatever outrageous comment that comes to his twisted mind. I would have to think that this is not the first time that Tyson has verbally abused Sierra. As for Tyson, as seen in the promos, they (Tyson & Coach) do not make any secret that their plan it to boot Sierra, in fact they telll her that is their plan. Finally it has to be Tyson who says next weeks title which is along the lines "I love seeing/ making them cry" Whatever, in my book the guy is a jerk. And you think Sierra should be madder at Taj and Stephen?

But I agree that Tyson is being a real douchebag and is making a terrible mistake by driving Sierra back towards the three Paos. It will lead to his downfall. If Tyson and Coach were smart, they would accept Sierra back into the fold (she pleads for a second chance, apparently) of Timbira as insurance against the three Paos. But Tyson and Coach are not smart, so they will deserve their comeuppance.

I totally agree. When he shows that mean streak, he is neither funny nor entertaining. OMG... just when I thought I couldn't despise coach any more..... WHAT a TOOL. He seriously has an ego problem, what a load of BS about his life and stories, it's like he watched 1 too many Steven Segal movies and truely BELIEVES that he lived them. That is a perfect description of Coach. That guy is so full of himself. I think you're right he really does believe all that crap about himself. It seemed like the edit last night was all about what a moron he is. It was his swan song and he has to be going soon.

I wonder whether JT will think of the implication of that statement i.e. substitute the name Stephen in that sentance. It would signal to me that Stephen doesn't plan to go to the finals with JT. Will Stephen get blind-sided at the #4 position? He could setting up the final three as Taj/JT and either Sierra/Erinn? Who knows. Great show. I wondered if JT noticed last episode when Stephen said that he knew he could get to the final four with Brendan, Sierra and Taj so JT had to promise him that he would blindside Coach and Tyson later because Stephen wasn't including JT in that final four end game either. It was like "If I do this for you, do that for me so I get to the final four, not you" you know? That is a great shot, Kona! :) I thought it was more I am giving up a guaranteed final 4 to keep you around, then you should equally be doing that for me. Plus it would be stupid for JT to want to go to a final 4 with 3 Timbras. He would have to assume that he could win immunity all the way to the final 2. I would assume that JT also wants Taj at least until the final 4/5.

I do think she's fab, but I'm NOT that natural a woman. The closest I get to nature is watching Survivor. However, I am slightly flattered that people mistake for an actual Survivor. I am not and have never been, nor could ever be on the show. I'd wouldn't be the first one voted out, I'd be the first person to DIE THERE! Meanwhile, back to our broadcast...So bummed by Brendan's departure...This episode was truly great in that it was suspenseful and was one surprise after the other... And the CTA was a complete mis-fire. A good idea, but boy, did it fall apart in practice! And it's really Brendan's fault, too. He STUPIDLY didn't "get back" to Taj and Stephen about where they stood with him and the CTA until it was too late. And Stephen, for one, was PISSED! I now think they are going to continue to send him to EI(I think he's losing challenges on purpose, BTW, to appear a "DORK" as Scout so inexactly described him. Even SCOUT is falling for his doofus act... And we're meant to like him, as well as the overwhelmingly popular J.T and Taj(with the fans). His reaction to his fire-making was precious! Just contrast Stephen's edit with Rob Cesternino, who was always depicted as SNARKy. Stephen's getting a sweatheart edit. Really. And now he knows he can NOT take J.T. to the Final. If Tyson, goes as I think he must,(Sierra isn't a blindside) then J.T. becomes the real physical threat...and he COULD make it to the end, and yes, CoachOCD, I DO see that fire-breaking challenge in his future...If it's J.T, Taj, Stephen and Erynn in the F4, that could be the freak tie that knocks J.T. out.... OR J.T. wins and takes Stephen to the F2 and Stephen wins. BRENDAN!!! You don't say out-loud "I want J.T. to win!" to other Survivors who ALLLLLL want to win the Million! He was just running the CTA the way he runs his company. He tells them what to do and evidently people just jump and just do it. BUT NOT ON SURVIVOR! And they really hid how disliked Brendan was until the Merge episode...To make the CTA look a bit more viable...Cross-tribal alliances are NOT gonna work... And now Brendan's HII will be re-hidden and whoever gets sent to EI next will very likely find it... To not even bring his BAGS to TC!!! Never mind tell everyone he has the idol and then NOT PLAY IT!!! IDIOCY! Brendan's problem seems to be that he doesn't consider how other people are thinking. Comes from working only for himself all his life...But he did get to the merge and is on the jury. So he played HALF of a brilliant game... Now we have the fun of watching Jalapao take over and BLINDSIDE Roach...If Tyson wins immunity AGAIN, then that may happen...JP's over-the-top over-exposure of Roach in this week's blog, made me think that he's being set up for the big GOOD-BYE. And the riddles say "Shocking turn of events" I was shocked to see Brendan go....
