knew when Tyson was voted out, my days were limited. I liked J.T. and Stephen a lot, but I didn't show Stephen enough respect. If you notice last night, Stephen said, "I don't think we need to get rid of Debbie yet." With Erinn, we knew if we took her to the merge, she would jump ship. All Erinn had to do was hear Stephen say one thing about me and she was like, "Take her out, so that didn't surprise me.

Meaning - she thinks she could have stayed if she'd worked Stephen, the real mastermind, more.
Stephen controls Erinn. Debbie hasn't made up with Erinn as she has with Sierra. Sounds like Erinn is F2..

Nothwithstanding the fact that Erinn OR Taj OR JT OR Stephen could be final two, you can't say based on the interview that Erinn is final two because it doesn't sound like they made up.

Sierra still came down a bit on Debbie and we know the two of them are together and Debbie had said they have a "family" type relationship now.

This game is so fickle and the people in it are truly fickle. If the lie is in favor of them, then it doesn't really matter. But if the lie is not in favor of them, then it does matter. It's so weird. A perfect example is me being on Brendan's side and lying and saying "I'm not in an alliance with Brendan" or whatever, and them finding us out and me telling Debbie "Look, we're all in alliances. How could you be mad at me for being in an alliance?" it's ridiculous. How could you say, "You're going to go because you were doing this behind our back!" We're all doing it to each other! Hello! So it's like, ooh, shocker! It's really weird how people break it down in their minds, what they justify and what they don't.

It is interesting though how Sierra and Erinn were both edited because we heard stuff about Sierra that she was a pain in the ass. We now have Debbie commenting on Erinn. Sierra apparently had choice words to say about Erinn; maybe Erinn (like Sierra was shown) wasn't as adorable as they are showing

I also wanted to ask you about Erinn, because watching from home, it seemed to me like you two could have been natural allies, because you both were somewhat on the outs with your tribe, you both had issues with Coach… But it never really happened, and it was hard to figure out what exactly was going on between you two. I saw that the week she voted for you to split the vote with Brendan, she said she'd gladly vote for you over and over again. But then on the last episode she promised not to vote for you, and didn't. What was the dynamic like between you two and why do you think you never really worked together?

Sierra: Erinn was really annoying. We thought they were going to do some really funny blurbs with her. [In a high pitched voice] "That one tiiiiiiiiime." We would be sitting down and I would literally be like, "So, Coach, I really want to go to India. I've been to Asia, but never gone to India. Tell me about India," and she would butt and go, "Oh my god, India! I have a poster of India on my wall! Oh my god, India! This one time, me and my friends, we were googling India…." It didn't matter what you said. You could have been like, "So, the other day, when I was painting my walls blue…" "Blue! Oh my god! Blue is like my favorite color! Me and my friends paint our nails blue all the time!" They don't show you that, but she would literally do that 24/7. If you ask anyone, it's the highest ranking that she's the most annoying out of everyone who's been questioned on her right now. She looks kind of quirky and cool, I think, in her blurbs, so I can understand why you don't think it is, but she smelled bad and her hair… She'd pull out hair extensions and throw them into the fire and I'd be like, "You are disgusting." But yeah, she was super annoying and she thought because she watched the game more than any of us did, that she knew everything and then we would take her out to a challenge and couldn't even really do anything but puzzles, so it was kind of disappointing.

The thing with an Erinn/Stephen F2 is if Stephen was against her then I would think he would make it more known in his final jury statements about how responsible he was for various plans. He would no longer be in JT's shadow. I guess he could try and they wouldn't believe him, or he could completely fail at the jury questioning.

I agree James. The way that both Sierra and Debbie spoke in their interviews it is clear that they were shocked by the level of game playing Stephen did and didn't give him enough credit. For me this just seems a bit strange to say if he is sitting there with anyone but JT. I would suspect that Debbie and Sierra would sound less "shocked" at his game play if in final two with someone else However, if Erinn was in the final two with a Jala, it is funny that this could also be the anti Gabon. Clearly, this jury does not hold grudges and if a former Jala is in final two with a former Timber with a jury full of former Timbers, I see the jury giving it to the former Jala as opposed to the former Timber. Instead of a bunch of bitter onions, they got themselves the opposite this season shrug

I'm still going with that T/JT/S are the final three right now; at least I'd like to see that. Timbira was demolished and these three have been shown working together for a long time. That trio and how they worked (obviously the heavies were JT/Stephen moreso than Taj but she worked well with them) to essentially squash the majority of Tim's was a good story to me. I still am nagged by Taj's line that she wouldn't want either of them to go out prematurely though and wonder if something still happens with the HII - that is my only nagging doubt that the three don't get there intact.
