Tyson does not win immunity. Jalapao does not want to miss this opportunity to get rid of him. Erinn and Sierra vote with Jalapao. Tyson leaves. (I could see them just booting Sierra and then Erinn jumping over at the final seven, but I definitely think Tyson will be blindsided due to Erinn's vote- and possibly Sierra's as well.) After that, I could see a number of people being blindsided including Coach, Debbie and maybe Taj. Tonight sort of set up Erinn as Jalapao's fourth member. I could easily see a final four with her and the three Jalapao's. Perhaps an Erinn/JT final two, since Stephen/Taj are so close. Or maybe Stephen thinks Erinn is an easier win than JT or Taj, and Erinn/Stephen are the final two. Stephen or JT would probably win either way, but I don't know. If we have a surprise winner this season, it's definitely Erinn.

I refuse to think about who wins what or who goes next again, though. From now I'm doing the chicken drop, a little game they play in Belize - Place a live chicken on a board covered with photos of the castaways, and whoever the chicken poops on, that's who is getting the boot.

Posts: 91 (04/16/09 9:36 PM) I don't get most of the jokes Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I just got this in the mail from Scout Cloud Lee of Survivor Vanuatu. She writes a blog after each episode. Survivor Tocantins/After the Merge by Scout TAJ BETRAYS HER ALLIANCE and helps Coach CUT THE HEAD OFF THE DRAGON! I'm still reeling from the ultimate betrayal of my girlfriend, She threw me off course a bit! Taj and Stephen had a firm alliance with Sierra and Brendan. It would have been a piece of cake to draw in Erin (who has no alliance) to make an unbeatable alliance of five to take over this game. Brendan is now gone and Taj, Stephen, and Sierra are toast! What were they thinking!!! Obviously, THEY WEREN'T…THINKING, THAT IS! How many times do we have to see people leave this game with an immunity idol in their knapsack? So much for the Bare Naked guru. Duhhhhhh, Boyfriend! Hope you're still having fun back there at Loser's Camp! The thought of Coach actually having a shot at getting his arrogant butt to the final four makes me want to hurl my pork chops! Did anyone out there get the news that Coach was fired from his coaching job and is moving to LA to "become the greatest thing this side of heaven"!! Debbie isn't the only one thinking that Coach needs a "reality check". He might be the biggest fraud to ever play this game. According to Coach, he has the "Power Alliance". He's "running the show"…a job "that he was born to do"! Even Jeff Probst thinks Coach is full of poop up to his eyeballs! Can anyone really believe that Coach would turn down National Geographic! Pleeeeaaaaassssseeee! Let's see now…Coach says he's been in 5,6,7, or 8 "life or death situations". Hmmmmm! Isn't there some fancy name for this type of illness? Something like megalomaniac??? Did we really hear Coach say, "No one can question my integrity and honesty. That's how I live my life"! Well, count me as one of millions who really does "question the integrity of Coach!" In fact, I question if he has a heart at all. Would anyone else out there love to tear off his arrogant face? Has anyone seen this large nosed jerk walk on water yet? The boyfriend could stand a good verbal enema! Give me a man with a "heart on" over a "hard on" any day! That leaves Coach way out of the running. I personally don't give a flying Bug Fart about Coach and his grandiose stories. Erin is generally a "bad hair"kinda' gal. Her hair looks like an explosion in a mattress factory! How can a person get to the final eight as a "neutral" vote? It's akin to being "luke warm" and Biblically that sucks. The high light of this episode was seeing Coach lose out on the river trip. The second great moment was seeing our Dork Stephen actually start a fire. He finally figured out that you have to strike the flint…not just "rub" it. Tyson is looking forward to "bossing Sierra around for three more days" and "telling her to shut up"! Even tho' he may be the funny man around camp, he's starting to rub me raw. I'd love to tell him to "shut up and don't stand by me!" If I were out there, I'd vote his butt outta' this game the very first time he lost immunity. His strength is his weakness at this point. Did everyone notice that J.T. voted against Coach. I started out liking this Texas cowboy, and that one vote put me squarely back in his fan club. I'm looking to see him get to the final four. He is popular enough to actually win this game. May the Lord bless him and keep him. May the Lord make his face to shine upon him and give him enough sense to continue voting against Coach! Finally, I'm wondering if Tyson and Coach will ever be able to replace the LOVE OF POWER with the POWER OF LOVE! NOT! Last Edited By: SEGScapegoat 04/16/09 11:00 PM. Edited 1 times.

He can't have, Orange, that would mean that Sierra voted for Brendan and that would not explain her looking unhappy at the tribal council result.

But I believe that Brenden was a class act and I definately think that if JT is in the finals, he will have Brenden's vote. Never mind, it doesn't change my guess as to final three. Lets see. Coach and Tyson think they control the game. Taj/JT/Stephen are keeping tight and are watching history i.e. the biggest implode of a post-merge tribe in history. I mean doesn't Coach and Tyson realize that while they may be pulling Debbi along by her collar, that Erinn and Sierra are not that "enamored" with them? Tyson and Coach's condensending attitudes towards Sierra shows that they don't believe the girl has enough brains to find the door in a room with one door. I mean come on!! The girl may have been born at night but she wasn't born last night!!. I'm banking that she hi-tails it to Taj or JT and spills her guts. Yes I think she will be mad at the CTA failing but I believe she will let bygones be bygones if they agree to save her this week. A double bonus will be the fact that she gets to blind-side the guy who called her stupid. Tyson may be funny or entertaining but the guy definitely has a cruel streak which is not an attractive feature... in anyone, especially a scrawny, ugly, big-nosed, cocky jerk. I now dislike Tyson as much as Coach. At least Coach is oblivious as to how stupid he comes across with all his phoney piety while Tyson knows exactly how to kick someone tjat is down and seems to enjoy doing it. JT and Stephen are the ones in charge. Actually Brenden and Tyson were their biggest threats (along with the fact that the Tims have the numbers). Does anyone really believe they were going to pass up the chance to get rid of one of those two if the chance presented itself? Of the two threats, Coach and Tyson well Tyson is the bigger threat which he demonstrated by winning a second immunity in a row. He has got to be the number one target for JT/Taj/Stephen. I may have thought he was going this week and that Brenden would go next week but I guess I was wrong. Doesn't matter, if Tyson doesn't win immunity, I can guarantee that he will be gone. There is no way that JT/Stephne/Taj will let what may be a one time opportunity slip by. Another blind-side. Will Coach go after that? I'm not sure... probably if he doesn't pull something out of his arse to win immunity. But if he does win immunity, I see Taj/Stephen/JT sticking together and getting rid of Coach's other (and last) ally, Debbi. I think from there on out Coach will be a target... no immunity and he's outta there. JT seems to be always thinking of different angles. I did think that Stephen possibly made a faux pas when he told JT that Brenden would be stupid to take JT to the end alluding that JT would be impossible to beat. I wonder whether JT will think of the implication of that statement i.e. substitute the name Stephen in that sentance. It would signal to me that Stephen doesn't plan to go to the finals with JT. Will Stephen get blind-sided at the #4 position? He could setting up the final three as Taj/JT and either Sierra/Erinn? Who knows. Great show.

I wondered if JT noticed last episode when Stephen said that he knew he could get to the final four with Brendan, Sierra and Taj so JT had to promise him that he would blindside Coach and Tyson later because Stephen wasn't including JT in that final four end game either. It was like "If I do this for you, do that for me so I get to the final four, not you" you know? That is a great shot, Kona! :)

Posts: 7489 (04/16/09 11:44 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I'm so glad we get another 3 days of Tyson. Once Tyson won immunity, I wasn't sure who was going home. I thought Roach would be the one to go right at the end. I really wish we could have had a 3-3-3 vote. We would have a re-vote with Brendon going 5-1, but it would have been fun. Brendan made a big mistake not to play the idol. JT is clearly a star in this merged tribe. Anyone who takes him to the final 2 would be a fool. Therefore, I think he probably makes it there by winning two critical immunities at the final 4. Here's guess that Stephen making fire is a prelude to him winning a fire tie-breaking challenge at the final 4.

Actually J.T., Tyson,and Erin voted Sierra;Coach, Debbie,Stephan, and Taj voted Brendan; and Brendan and Sierravoted Coach. In Sierra'sconfessional she said this was a vote that she did not want to make, so she will be upset not only that her closest ally is gone but she made a vote against what she wanted and that separated her from the majority Last Edited By: realitygal 04/17/09 3:41 AM.

So who is going to pull JT with them at the end knowing they will lose? Did you see Steven's look to JT when he was told that Brendan was going to help him win? It was like why would he do that? That's crazy! Does seem like they are telling us something.

Even if Stephen has already decided he's not going to let JT get to the finals, he's got to get him close - old Jalapao still don't have enough people to be comfortable letting one go. It's still possible Timbira could come to their senses. And there's always Tina and Colby. Sometimes when people say it's an alliance to the end, they mean it.

Posts: 1982 (04/17/09 9:08 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Well, I think the promos for next week have given us the obvious red herring... Sierra. And shall we talk about cocky? JP had it wrong Tyson and Coach have PhD's in cocky. Did you see the look on Sierra's face when Tyson told her she was stupid? If looks could kill but it told me that Sierra is not go to take this lying down. I do believe that the Taj/JT/Stephne alliance will last til the end. I believe that Sierra will have the vote that sends Tyson home and Sierra will be the one responsible for taking Coach down. Revenge is sweet. If JT & Co. are able to take out Tyson next week, there is really no one who can beat JT in a physical immunity. I'm not saying that JT goes on a immunity run because with Tyson gone, he really won't have to if he has secured Sierra and Erinn. Those 5 can take out Debbi and Coach in no particular order and then it is a race til the end.

Brendon... thought I would hate you in hte begining.... but he turned out to be a class act. Stupid...play the idol!!!! He seriously has an ego problem, what a load of BS about his life and stories, it's like he watched 1 too many Steven Segal movies and truely BELIEVES that he lived them. Don't really care for Sierra...but would love to see her behind a coach or Tyson blindside. Tysons comments this week made me not care for him so much, whoever siad he has a mean streak is right on.
