What Timbira is doing to itself is far worse than what the women did to each other in Vanuatu when Chris was the only male. It's just unbelievable how they are sitting back and letting 3 Jalapenos take the game so easily.

It really, really is. It's acceptable to take out one of your own, especially a strong one who loses immunity, when you're up 6-3. However, to then proceed to take out another one of your own, and one very unlikely to win immunity, is just plain stupid. I can understand He-who-I-refuse-to-call-by-name because essentially he's delusional about this or any game. But Tyson seemed smarter than that. Oh well.

For what it's worth, here's how I see it playing out (and since I'm usually wrong ...)

Next to go: I can believe it's Debbie. She just proved that she can win immunity, she's freakishly strong physically for her size, and she's you-know-who's little lap dog. (and for a supposedly smart woman, explain how she got sucked into that silliness!) If she doesn't win immunity, she's a logical boot.

Erinn: I think that Erinn will stick with JT/Stephen/Taj for now. The Tims have to figure out that she voted for Tyson. Sierra voting for Tyson is forgiveable since she couldn't vote for herself, but Erinn--clear evidence of treachery.

He-who-I-refuse-to-call-by-name: Rumors are that he makes it to F5. That made me unhappy before, but it will be worth it to see him twist in the wind for two more weeks. The very best thing about last week's blindside was the look on his face when he realized Tyson was going. Priceless! I don't know when I've disliked a player more. Well, maybe last year with the Entitlement Two and Spineless Charlie.

Sierra: I guess I need to actually listen to the Insiders. So far she hasn't struck me as an awful person, just very young and SERIOUSLY manipulated by you-know-who and Tyson's attempts (successful!) to put her on a guilt trip. I have to say that part of last week made me sick to my stomach. <soapbox> I REALLY hate to see stronger personalities convince someone who is unsure of themselves that they did something wrong by trying to put themselves further in the game. All that "you weren't loyal" crap just drove me crazy. I kept saying "Stick it to them, Sierra! You WERE loyal to the one person who was loyal to you." And Tyson was just plain nasty for no good reason.</soapbox> Anyway, JT and Stephen don't like Sierra either and I can't tell if that's from listening to the Tim guys, or from their own observation. BUT she would make an excellent goat and I bet Stephen is smart enough to see that.

Taj: She is not in the end game plan of the two Jal men, but they won't kick her to the curb before F3 is my guess. We were shown that clip about Eddie George and JT thinking Taj doesn't need the money for a reason.

JT: Are these people completely mental? JT is strong, charismatic, and hasn't won an individual immunity yet. KNOCK HIM OUT OF THE GAME!!! Won't happen. JT is, in actuality, what He-who-I-refuse-to-call-by-name thinks he is: a charismatic leader, much beloved and not bad at "strategery" either.

Stephen: could take it all but I have this feeling that if he's dumb enough to go to F2 with JT that he'll lose. No matter what he says, they'll think JT was the mastermind, and everyone seems to genuinely WANT JT to win if they can't win themselves.

One last word, because I haven't been able to post much this season due to a new job. My favorite person this season was Brendan, although I didn't think he would be able to win because of the Coach/Tyson alliance. The way he went out was just plain classy. Not only was he not angry at the other players, he took delight in his own blindside because "that's the way the game is played." Great stuff.
