I would not want to know Tyson in real life. I didn't like him from the beginning. He thought he was being cute and funny, and he was insulting (to me). I'm not surprised he showed no humility. I'm glad he's out of the game. I said before that I thought "coach" was acting like a misogynist, and I'll say it again. He has a very thinly disguised disdain for women. I've lot a lot of respect for Debra because of the way she hangs on to him. I think she's just so glad to be part of an alliance that she's not paying attention to whom she's attached herself. I don't know if I could put aside my ethics and my very strong feelings for equality to be in an alliance with someone like "coach." As far as Stephen, while he technically has the idol, if Taj asks for it back and he refuses to give it to her, I'll really dislike the man. My hope is that he gets blindsided and goes next. I'm really surprised at how much I'm disliking the character of some of the players this season. The guys all seem to have cornered the market on cocky arrogance and comments like those JT have made about Sierra are not gameplay. (And really, has he even had a real conversation with her?) If the girls were smart, they'd align to get the guys out. Unfortunately, Debra won't switch, so it's up to Erin, Sierra, and Taj to try and control the weaker men.

To the best of my recollection - NOT an outstanding thing, mind you - NO female alliance has ever held together. The "why not?" is being perfectly demonstrated by Debra in this season. If a GUY says it, it must be true! Get a frigging grip!

It sure did Though I'd have preferred a Cirie win, but still, it was well done.

Yes, the female alliance held to the end in Fans vs. Faves much to my dismay. I was rooting for James lolol.

Remember when they used to put a sort of halo or glowing light around whoever was going to win? I think I first noticed it with Ethan in Africa. Maybe that is why they have shown Coach with that sunrise glow around him.

I have changed my mind a little bit on Tyson. (re what I last posted about him) After reading the recap of Tyson at Ponderosa, maybe he does have some caring feelings. In the game, he just seemed so evil to me...actually evil in real life, not just in the game. I hope he isn't evil.

I apologize for not posting much. Here are my current random thoughts: I don't care for Tyson's mean streak. If he's capable of growing into a well-balanced, caring, realistic individual, he may benefit from examining his confessional footage with a focus on overcoming his ability to put other people down while looking and sounding like a clown. Compassion and sensitivity can be exhibited in manly behavior that doesn't demean or bully. Sierra and Taj are my current favorites. I, too, saw and heard Taj suggest getting rid of Tyson before Erin's confessional agreement to go along with the coup. This said, I have no idea what happened first because I wasn't there. *lol* As far as Coach goes, he's playing a game that works well for him. I don't understand and don't care to try to understand what floats his boat . . . because he and I aren't sailing the same river. That's okay, though. I like and embrace honest diversity. Stephen bothers me. I know that Survivor is just a game and that he's playing a pretty good game. Something about him bothers me, though, on a personal level. Based on what I've seen in the game, I wouldn't want to work with him because he seems sneaky. He may not be this way in real life, of course. It doesn't change my opinion, though, because he seems sneaky in every episode. He seems smart in some ways, too, which is applaudable--especially if he can convince JT or anyone else to toss Coach NOW.

I have a question about the idol. I know the ruling that when Taj "gave" the idol to Stephen to hold, he can claim it. And I know you can't steal it from someone. But what if he leaves it in his things and she takes it, perhaps thinking she might need it for the tribal council, or just because she feels more comfortable having it in her possession? After all, she still thinks it is hers. And Stephen has not officially claimed it. He has gone along with her assumption that it is still hers. Would it be a case of her stealing it or would it be a case of her reclaiming it? I wonder what the ruling would be if she took it and used it and he objected.

Interestng question Allie...now you're going to have me wondering about that too. I think it was such a tremendously bad move on her part to hand it to him. I'd hae guarded that thing with all my might had I found it.

Don't know if these were posted before, but I will put them in for others who can't watch via CBS site (like me). I hadn't seen them last week: Survivor: Tocantins - Life at Ponderosa: Tyson Blindsided, Pt. 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WnbyVP6158 Survivor: Tocantins - Life at Ponderosa: Tribal Council, Pt. 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5AJoc3RPwo
