Jimmy Johnson: My 'Survivor: Nicaragua' vote-off surprised me realityTVworld This is my favorite exit interview site, but I don't think this was his 'exit' interview. They usually title that Exclusive. I will keep looking for one.

IMHO, Coach gave his honest opinion about weaknesses. He did NOT throw Dan under the bus as being one of the two weaker players (even though he clearly thought Dan WAS weak), and Dan's refusal to admit he WAS one made Coach look even better. \ Even Jeff can't stand NaOnka. He said in his blog he was glad he had not seen the footage as it would have really colored his opinion during Tribal.

In the past there has been debate here on whether then empty out the voting bucket in between votes. In the video posted of last night's vote, you can clearly see when Dan is voting that the other member's votes are in the bucket. Just thought that was interesting. I enjoyed the video of Jimmy J talking after his boot. He really is a class act.

I was nto familiar with JJ before the show began - not a football fan despite my board name - but he quickly impressed me with what a thoroughly nice person he was. "Team" was the name of the game, first and last, for him - unlike a couple of other big egos I could mention! I also totally believed him when he said he was there for love of the game and not the money!! I truly hope Jill is playing Marty and not just hiding behind him!

Id love to know what Noanka's home town is saying about her. She gets uglier every episode. I feel sorry for her less than perfect students. I am still floored she choose teaching as a career. What a man Jimmy is. I adore him, such class and a true leader. I would love to be around him, he is a great guy

I find NaOnka to be completely mean-spirited. She is jealous, I think, that a young woman with a birth defect who is obviously at a physical disadvantage in many ways is actually STRONGER--and has a more likable personality--than NaOnka. I just so wish that the other tribemates could hear some of the confessional footage while they're still on the island. I don't mean that they should hear each other's strategizing sessions, but I do think it would be really eye-opening for people to hear just what awful, horrible things are said behind their backs. I hated to see Jimmy J leave. I honestly believe that the Espada tribe needed to stay strong and unified under his leadership for as long as possible. Daniel is weaker physically, but JEALOUS. Jimmy T felt threatened by Jimmy J and he and Marty worked hard to get Coach Jimmy kicked out because of their own pitiful insecurities. The tall guy (a professional athlete?) is visibly frustrated by the petty level to which he's seen Jimmy T and Marty sink. I feel he understood how pivotal Coach Jimmy has been for team morale. I just feel bad that things came out this way on this last episode. Shannon was a great pick for the boot last time because he just was mean-spirited, narrow-minded and totally NOT a team player. I understand that the discomfort of being undernourished, wet, cold, exhausted and away from one's family would put stress on the participants, but omigosh, to just snap out and be so hurtful and hateful is unnecessary. I was glad that he shot off his big mouth and talked the tribe into booting him off; a bigot like Shannon deserved it!

I agree that Jimmy would be a good catch but unfortunately he is already married. I heard him say on a radio interview that his wife traveled around with her sister (I think) and visited some family members because she thought people might get suspicious if he were gone so long by himself . . and they had to keep it a secret that he was on the show until it was announced. I was really sad to see JJ go so early and think they made a bad mistake getting rid of him.

I'm really liking Jill on the older tribe. Good head on her shoulders.

I would SWEAR that my response from this morning was NOT THERE when I came back to this thread, and I figured it had drifted away into cyberspace! Perhaps he has a brother?

Well I would have liked Jill, EXCEPT WHY in the world would she virtually hand that jerk (Marty?) the HII?

My theory is Jill is setting Marty up and more power to her for doing it.

And then why would Marty show it? Cause people won't try to vote him out? Hope it backfires on him.

Anything that damages Marty and/or Jimmy T works for me - I am soooooo hoping Jill is working Marty!

Me too! I don't think I've ever seen, in all my time at TVCH, where there seemed to be a universal sense of mourning for a castaway being voted off like happened with JJ. Even from non-sports fans like me.

Marty is a small man. What an insecure fool he is. How embarrassing for his family to watch this ep when it was so clear his jealousy was the only thing that propelled his vote. JJ is a class act, I didnt even know him before this show (I am just now learning FB since I have a 14 yr old player. I can see why JJ coached teams to victory, he is awesome and has a charm that Marty can only wish he had. Id love to see JJ on Apprentice!

Tvclubber said re NaOnka: "If she were in charge of my children for as much as two minutes, I would remove them from her poison." ITA. She is just awful. I, too, had never heard of Jimmy Johnson. I don't really follow sports much. I really wish he was still there. I know he was weak physically, but I think Dan would have been a better choice. His arms might be stronger, but he looked to be really suffering out there. If that was the case, JJ was actually stronger overall than Dan. I think it is silly of them to worry about JJ being a threat to win the million at this point. It would be easy to vote him out when they get down to indiv. physical challenges. No way he would stand much of a chance to win any of those. I always thought if I were on a Survivor Jury, I would reward the person I thought played the best game all around...and if I like someone or not wouldn't factor into it. If I were on this Survivor Jury, no way would NaOnka get my vote even if her social game did improve. In my mind, she is the worst Survivor ever. I can't remember anyone worse. not even Russell.

I too have grown fond of Jimmy over the past weeks and never heard of him before! He seemed like a real person who loved the game of Survivor. To see him get the boot because someone else was jealous and unhappy over the good will Jimmy was spreading around camp, is awful. I hope Marty is next. But what propelled the rest of the tribe to want JJ out? Sometimes it feels like only the most shallow petty people get on this show.

When I saw Jill telling Marty he should let everyone know, I thought that maybe she was gonna set him up. If he thinks no one will vote him off cuz he has the HII, then it's easier to blindside someone. Both Marty and Jimmy T are really not very likable people on this show (the jonesing they had to get rid of Jimmy J was pretty unreasonable this early on), and I wouldn't mind either of the two of them to get the axe without seeing it coming.
