I agree that Sierra, free of Brendan, has opportunities to cut a deal, but the problem is that even still, she can't win should she make the final two unless she faces Erinn. I think Erinn talking in the TC vote on the Insider clip about looking forward to writing down Sierra's name many times more shows that those two aren't going to become a power duo; instead, it's going to be her, Erinn, and the trio of Debbie, Coach, and Tyson all making individual side deals with the Jalapao three. In the end, Coach's self-righteousness about wanting to make sure "undeserving" players (which is to say any woman who doesn't fawn over him) don't make the endgame will probably be what locks a final two of Stephen and JT or possibly Stephen and Taj. It does not take a brilliant strategist to realize the best move for the Jalapao three is to keep splintering those Timbira subgroups until you have a motley crew that will refuse on principle to team up for a counteralliance. Would Coach, truly, be able to bring himself to team up with Erinn and Sierra? No, it goes against his stupid little code of honor. But if the Jalapao three keep going the way they are, and throw one of the outsiders like Sierra or Erinn a bone by offering her fourth place, they can pick off the Timbira pretty easily.

Let us not forget the edit that Sugar got. Seemed that nobody on the tribes liked her at all, with the exception of Bob. She took peoples bags and cut them up to make herself outfits, she never did any work, etc. etc. ... yet it was never shown to us. To us she was portrayed as all cutesy, sweetness and @*$+% with a bit of sass and gumption thrown in. AND she made it to the end. If Tyson is taken out then this week then the numbers all change. Erinn has been waiting for the moment she could jettison her tribe once and for all, Sierra will finally realize that Coach doesn't want to see her fly, he wants her to flop and Debbi is.... well apparently Debbi is a non-entity this season.

Oh, I think Sierra's arc, now that I've seen the commercials for the week, is this: Sierra almost gets voted out day one. Everyone turns on her. She wins a crucial immunity challenge, saves her ass, and the crude jackass Tyson gets ousted instead. Perhaps she will outlast Erinn. I think the Sierra-Sugar comparison is pretty good... in that Sierra is supposed to be a sympathetic character to us, in that she's opposite the designated villains Coach and Tyson, and she can get the Plucky Heroine edit. Plug in Coach as Randy and Tyson as Corinne, and there you go. (Tyson and Corinne are shockingly similar, come to think of it...) If you have a fight between two different groups of people that kind of suck, you end up with that elbow-throwing bitchfest like we had on TAR tonight.
