Well Coby did try plotting and scheming and as Gregg said in his farewell, it was "too soon"... I tend to disagree with Gregg and Gregg, who had indicated earlier he might ally against Tom/Ian,etc. may well be "too late" since Gregg has the taint of the alliance with Jen and isn't on the short list in the minds of Ian or Tom. So I'd sa too little plotting, probably because the season was so lopsided in Koror's favor, until now.

Those remarks make sense. He was working alliances straight off the boat. I don't think the sand had even worked it's way between his toes.

Pulling Stephanie aside put him out before or Steph.

Tom and Ian are leary of Gregg and Jen so without Coby they are safer. For all they knew he could have set up an alliance with Stephanie, Jen and Gregg, Caryn and Janu. One of them had to go so why not the guy working it.

Coby's plotting was not smart; the boy is not subtle. Gregg and Jen were fools not to break away from Tom and Ian and boot Ian last week. That is the mistake that they will see when this is over.

I agree fruitbat - that was their chance and they blew it. I think it will cost them the game. They should have taken Coby and Jenu and given Ian the boot. I don't think it was too soon - as soon as they lose Jenu they'll see that it's now too late.

yep, it happens most seasoons. Few think of turning on the leader/smart/dynamic first. Huge mistake not to take the leader out.

Thanks Juju ... I appreciate that!

Here's a link to another of those really good reads over at Survivor Fever from one of their writers and their speculation of tonight's show.

Well, Duh!!! -- I see I didn't put the link in on the above post, and it's too late now!!! I do that in emails sometimes, too ... senior moments, you know. Sorry about that! But here's something I just found today regarding the part about Janu laying down her torch that we never got to see!
****************************

NEW YORK - Quitters never win, but if they make it far enough on “Survivor,” they get to be on the jury.

Janu Tornell, 39, became the fourth person in “Survivor” history to quit the competition, but she’ll still help decide the winner of the $1 million prize as a member of the nine-person jury — a heated issue the tribal council cameras didn’t capture.

“It wasn’t to save Stephenie (LaGrossa) in the game,” Tornell told The Associated Press Friday. “It ended up like that. At the same time, it was almost like a power play because I threw a wrench into their game.”

The former Las Vegas showgirl said host Jeff Probst didn’t coerce her into departing “Survivor: Palau,” although it may have seemed otherwise.

“He aided me,” said Tornell. “I was at the point where I thought, ‘I want to go, but I don’t want to jeopardize being part of the jury.’ I was still battling with ‘quitter.’ I hate that word. But I did it. I laid down my torch. No regrets whatsoever.”

Viewers didn’t see Tornell’s concern about whether she would be on the jury if she quit the CBS reality show. After going back and forth for several hours, Tornell said Probst asked for a break in the filming.

“The cameras stopped,” said Tornell. “Tribal council got really heated. You guys didn’t even get any part of that. (Probst) goes, ‘This is off the record. What’s going on, Janu? What are you worried about?’ And I said, ‘Basically, I don’t want to lose my place in the jury. I don’t know where this takes me.”

Tornell said Probst left the tribal council area and consulted with producers. (The three players who quit “Survivor” in previous seasons departed before juries were formed.)

“It was all a new drama situation for everybody involved,” said Tornell.

Probst returned and assured Tornell that she wouldn’t forfeit her place on the jury by quitting. The cameras started back up, and Tornell did just that.

Now, as a jury member, she’ll be on the lookout for the player “who I thought played the game the best.”
