OR Tyson could be talking to Debbi, Stephen and Brenden about getting rid of Coach. After the merge, Coach is expendable and is really annoying. Tyson could believe that Debbi and Stephen are connected at the hip with Coach and by extension himself. He could possibly see an advantage to teaming up with Brenden at this point if he thinks that Brenden has bonded with the other team because after the merge, its all about the numbers. If Tyson believes that Brenden has gained numbers then it would be to his advantage to dump Coach. Even if Tyson was unsure about Brenden having the numbers, he would believe by his manipulation that he is in control of the game.

Isn't it the other way around? Ben is really annoying, so after the merge he is the perfect person to go to the jury with.

Ben could be considered the goat.... however I think at this stage it is too early to think goat and that the focus is more on the vote. If Tyson really believes (along with Coach) that Brenden might have some connections with the other tribe, then it wouldn't matter who the perceived "goat" is if there is danger that the co-goat [Tyson] is not going to be in the final two. Tyson could be feeling the heat and hence view Coach as the sacrificial lamb. I really think that the whole "goat" thing is over thought by us viewers but that being said... at this point there are enough goats on these tribes to form a herd... specifically Erinn, Debbi and Sierra all of whom (at this point in the game) would/are being perceived as playing UTR and not really being the major strategy/power contributors to either tribe.

A second point (which actually supports Ben's staying awhile) is that Tyson "thinks" he is on top of the game but by trying to "play" the game, he is perceived as a threat.... by Brenden and the CTA. Brenden has said that Coach is predictable. Survivor is a game where the successful players need to move / think / react based on the current flow of the game. Having someone around that is "predictable" is preferable to one who can throw you a curve ball when you don't expect it.
