Ratings

JT- OTTM3: He was not complex in the slightest. He had no confessionals (he might have had one on his tooth, but that is irrelvant to complexity). Spencer commented continuously on how JT wouldn't be able to accept him, and that JT was controlling the tribe and made JT out to be negative. At the challenge/reward, JT came off as positve, hence the mix. Whoever compared him to Bobby Jon is right. They are almost exactly the same. This seriously hurt his winning chances.
Joe- MOR4: Narration, a tiny confrontation with Taj. Really nothing interesting. He's toast, but at least he's not UTR this episode!
Spencer- CPM4: Good personal development. He recognized he was going after a challenge. This is ironic after stating his love for challenges in Episode 1. Only player really even shown at Tribal Council besides Taj.
Stephen- CP3: A great episode for Stephen. He is the only member of the Exile Alliance who seems to have other plans. He might be the reason they collapse, and he was almost negative for scheming against them.
Sydney- UTRP2: I know this rating might not be the majority, but I felt a weak P for Sydney. Although ignored, during the reward she was shown crying/reacting positively. And she was shown as someone who accepted Spencer.
Taj- CPM5: Taj either has to go straight to UTR 1 next episode, or she is gone. She is a huge character. She was OTT in actions, but she explained everything. She dominated tribal council. Her chances are over.
Timbira
Ben- MORN2: Although not very visible, he had a whole scene dedicated to his weather predictions. He was blasted by Erinn and also had a comment after hearing Sandy was voted out mentioning that it was only a matter of time. As the previews show, Coach really is a hypocritical bumbling jack ass.
Brendan- CP3: Possibly MOR3. He was toneless. He explained how he had forgotten to tell Sierra and then filled Stephen in at tribal council. He's getty cocky, but so is everyone in the EA and they have reason to. This is good doubt for the Exile Alliance, but I don't think Brendan has much of a chance to win.
Debra- UTR1: She's shown with Tyson and Coach. She recognizes the threat of Brendan and that Sierra is with them.
Erinn- MOR2: Her confessional was the most prominent confessional on the show last night. She is connected entirely to Tyson and Coach and this might be her downfall as she is done when she votes them out. Still not eliminate yet, as perhaps this is her only story line. Sierra/Brendan have the Exile Alliance, and the other three are tied together. Erinn is not really tied to any alliance on this tribe and perhaps that might be a good thing.
Sierra- UTR2: Although it might be seen as cocky, Sierra was verging on positive this epoisode with her Hallejuiah routine. This episode was great for her winning chances. Anyone notice that despite being the last in the alliance, she mentioned that she had created this alliance?
Tyson- MOR2: He was toneless which was good for him. He had a huge confessional on the Exile Alliance. Perhaps he will bring it down, otherwise he is just there for creating doubt.
