I'm still bummed Sierra is gone haha. I really wanted her to win--that would have been epic considering her journey. Picked first to get voted off on day one, then made it all the way to the finals. That money would have been hers if she had a good finish.

But anyway, I'm rooting for Taj or Stephen to win I suppose, even though I'm pretty sure Taj won't make F2.

I really don't want JT to win(no offense JT fans), and I've still yet to figure out how he is so popular with the tribe. He's backstabbed, lied, etc to everybody probably even more than Taj/Stephen has. Sure he could say he was a physical threat, but he's not even won an immunity yet (Tyson won the first individual immunity, then Debbie, then Coach, and then Stephen was last week). He's not got the mastermind card either--Stephen has that, which doesn't necessarily put you in the best light with the jury, but it is worthy of winning considering his opposition hasn't really done anything (at least that we've seen).

JT's just rode Stephen's coat tails, but based on the what Debbie had to say, apparently nobody was aware of that until they saw the show being aired. I'm not too happy with Erinn's game either. She flew under the radar, which is good, but what else? Her game just hasn't impressed me (sorry Erinn fans lol). If she was smart, she should have tried to rally up the Timbira alliance with Debbie/Coach/Sierra when she had the chance. That was probably her biggest mistake and will undoubtedly lead to her downfall at F4(assuming she makes it).

Granted JT isn't just blindly following Stephen, but Stephen has been the one to dictate almost every decision that's went down as far as voting is concerned. JT might have charm and such, but then again, you have to look at who all he has continued to charm. Timbira, love them, was absolutely stupid to allow it in the first place. JT's charm working it's magic was luck in itself (though granted, luck always plays a part in this game). Had it not have worked, logic tells me he would have been the first member on the jury if Timbira could have held it together long enough.

Timbira members, post boot, also seem to realize how foolish it was that they lost control of 6-3 advantage. Who got that ball rolling in the first place? Stephen and to an extent, Taj did. JT wasn't even going to be considered in the equation (that we know of, although Stephen was feeling somewhat guilty) until he happened to have snooped around and found Taj's idol pre merge. Stephen is the mastermind behind all of the post merge decisions (something it seems the Timbira people were unaware of until they got to see the show)--JT's just been a "charm" that's helped execute the plans due to the fact that Timbira was too blind (or perhaps too ignorant) to see what was going on. Bottom line is--Stephen > JT.
