Erinn's story is about personal growth - think back to her second confessional in Ep 1 (counting her Tyson comment as numero uno) and how far she has come. Good story - but not a winner's story (and I hope even the most die-hard Shamrock sees that). And whether she comes fifth, fourth, third or second is Edgically irrelevant. |

and then the drama of who wins is nil. Final two is JT and Stephen, and the edited drama is them always amazed that they made it one step further. Only so
much you can do -especially when you have Taj already doing what Debbie promised.

I can't believe JT or Stephen hasn't even mentioned the thought of turning on each other. Odd.

Not to mention, an alpha male underdog f2 probably would have them so giddy that they would actually make it that obvious, and make the viewer wonder how/why
no one split them up (Romber), and it would still be a surprise who wins, as I think it would be a close vote.
Plus the fact that they show them saying that they're in charge of the game, but not in a terribly cocky way. We even get to see them comment that it's weird that they're in control. |

Oh please shut the fuck up Erinn is toast. Taj has a better chance than her.

This is almost like the final 2 from Australia if it's Stephen and JT. However, there really isn't a Keith. Well, Coach is kinda like Keith, but I
doubt he's going to last. Actually, there's no way Coach is going to last.
Coach looked scared as hell at TC tonight. He must be feeling helpless deep down somewhere but refuses to bring attention to it. I also felt a little sorry for Coach tonight at the reward visits. He had his assistant coach? The others all had close family members. That really made me feel like Coach, this so-called eccentric warrior maverick is VERY lonely. It was kinda sad. |

Surely there was talk of an all-women alliance at F7. Surely there was talk about C/D/T turning on JT and Stephen. Surely there was talk about Taj betraying JT and Stephen, like she did to Brendan. |

I don't think Stephen is that bad, but JT lately has been going on and on about how smart they are, I thought it was especially cocky when he was like "Its so nice Taj is loyal to us, but who cares really, she doesnt know what the hell is going on, just Stephen and I do" I've found them to be getting worse and worse each episode, almost getting as bad as Kenny last season, but maybe people dont see it because they cant understand what JT is saying? Or maybe its just me *shrugs* |

I didn't say "not at all cocky", lol. I'm just sure they could be edited way cockier. And I don't see them as being anywhere near Kenny
levels. JMO.

JT/Stephen's "oh were so wonderful, arent we amazing, no one is out to get us" reminds me very much of Kenny/Crystal from last season. Stephen/JT
will get broken up @ F4 with either Taj/Erinn teaming up to vote JT, or Erinn winning immunity, and Jala is forced to turn on each other.
And if Stephen is really as smart a player as he says he is, he'd let JT be voted off, knowing JT is a vote for him to win. Everyone in the game loves JT, so either Stephen doesn't care if JT wins, or he's just an idiot. You decide. |

well, Taj has been the one I've been rooting for ever since that episode two smack down in the water challenge- she's the real warrior- so I'd be
pretty happy if she gets to the final two.
but I'm saying JT/Stephen in the end. |

That episode has gotta make any normal viewer long for someone to lift a finger to give JT and Stephen some competition. They aren't underdogs, they are an
unopposed controlling power. That was the worst, most predictable postemerge episode in several seasons.
Continuing patterns: *JT gets all the "we" confessionals about what a great team the two guys are. *JT's fans get booted. Debbie wants to give the necklace to JT at F3, Stephen makes her go bye bye. Previously Brendan left after Stephen heard how he wanted to hand the game to JT. It's gonna be so ironic when JT leaves, after the best efforts of so many Timbits to roll over for him. * The precise nature of Erinn's deal with Stephen\JT remains somewhat mysterious, while Debbie and Coach's plans with them are all spelled out. I think that's good for Erinn's longevity. * JT still hasn't won immunity, and his comments about Debbie and Taj aren't very nice. What's supposed to be so great about this hick? Stephen - winner Erinn - second |

I haven't seen the new episode yet (it's 4:40AM in Cyprus, why the fuck am I even awake?), but I'm still guessing the F2 are Stephen & Erinn.
They're both pretty much tied with me, I could see either one of them winning at this point. But who knows.
ETA: I agree with Craig. The only reason J.T. is so popular is because he has a Southern accent and works hard around camp. It worked for James, now it's working for him. Casual viewers of CBS are such dumbasses. I grew up in a small town in inland central Florida so the accent doesn't fool me.

And there would be plenty of suspense when the final votes are read (shades of Yul/Ozzie). So while there are several plausible F2 combinations, editing suggests that there are only 2 possible winners, and I put my nickel on Stephen at the merge. |

But she was all
over that one strategy scene with Debbie, but didn't get any insight.
