Yeah, it's pretty ironic that the same guy who talked to Steven about taking Taj's immunity idol and voting her out is calling somebody else a liar. At this point they are all liars.

I can see how Sierra would be annoying but I have yet to understand the pure vitriol that has been spewed her way. I still think Coach set the tone for that with how he and Tyson treated her from the very beginning.

I just wish that someone, anyone, would respond to Coach when he accuses others of lying. All they need to say in a very sarcastic voice, "Coach, have you ever seen Survivor?" It drives me nuts that he is the biggest liar on the show, and has the guts to brag about his honesty and accuse others of lying.

Why he brags about physical prowess is beyond me. He makes outrageous claims and never wins anything on there. Sierra is stronger than he is.

Last night's episode made me so happy. I literally contemplated not watching anymore if they voted off Sierra. I love when the smug people get their come-uppance, and someone flips the script on them.

How do they always get people for these game shows that can't think in the BIG picture, by not acting cocky, not alienating people they may need in the end, etc. How to they treat jury members sooooo poorly? Grrr!!!

I would LOVE to see Debbie and Coach go one after the other in the next weeks.

They way they edited tribal council, I was POSITIVE that Sierra was going, and that they were just playing up a faint glimmer of hope that Tyson could go, but that nobody would dare break ranks with the "Warrior Alliance".

I laughed when Coach was talking about how you can't go against an alliance that already has a name. LOL

BUH-BYE Tyson. Good riddance.

I'm watching this week's episode now. I usually watch it sometime over the weekend, but I just couldn't wait to see Tyson get blindsided. And I have to say, every time Debbie or "coach" or Tyson make a snide comment, I'm doing a little happy dance on the couch.

Eeyeore, I'd love to see the next two leave as you'e suggested. Debbie has done well by hanging on the coattails of others. But I think "coach" should go first since I cannot stand the man. I don't care how much Jeff loves him, his condescending misogynistic attitude just rubs me a million wrong ways!

I don't think Coach and Debbie will both go in the next two episodes. Remember, Jeff has told us this year sets a record for blindsides. JT and Stephen think they are sitting pretty now (just like Coach and Tyson thought this week). I look for one of them to go soon.

One of the best tribal councils ever! Not just the blindside. But the smug looks that got wiped off by the time Tyson got vote #2. Taj rolling her eyes while "coach" is blathering on and on. Brendan practically rolling on the floor with laughter. Sierra realizing there's a chance she's gonna stay! One.Of.The.Best.Tribal.Councils.Ever.

At this point, JT and Stephen ought to be quaking in their boots, too. The overly arrogant are sure to fall during this season.

I would totally laugh my butt off if F2 comes down to Erin and Sierra. Either of which could win, although I'd love it if Sierra did!

lol, yes I got a true giggle watching Taj crossing her eyes as everyone else was rolling them. She's always got such great facial expressions at TC.

Here's the Tyson exit interview from RealityTVWorld. Good one as usual:

Might the idol be back inside tree mail? If I were Steven I'd have a look...what does he have to lose?

I thought when coach voted he said "Last week I killed the dragon and this week I kill his BRIDE" I missed the next part.


Thanks for posting that. When I'm spoiling it goes so fast that I just try to put in something similar to what they said if I can't remember the exact words. I remember struggling with that part... among others. LOL

Wow, Tyson certainly was humble (cough cough) in that interview. You'd think after he was blind-sided, he'd have a little humility.

Yeah, Tyson sure did seem full of himself in that Ponderosa Pt1 clip. Probably spent too much time with Coach (cough cough). Hopefully we won't have to see much more of him.

Oh I think Tyson has probably been that way long before he met Coach. I enjoyed watching him on Survivor for the most part because I think he was usually playing a good game. In real life, I would never want to know Tyson. If I had to have him in my life for some reason, I would loathe having to be around him, even though he is not as annoying as Coach or other extremely annoying reality people like Johnny Fairplay. Tyson almost seems like he has no caring feelings whatsoever for anyone. Even though Coach is a lot more annoying than Tyson, I think he does have some caring feelings for others.

For all of us who want Coach to go because we can't stand watching him, would you really get rid of him if you were out there? He is a good one to take to the end because there is no way he would win the million $. He isn't very good in any challenges, mental or physical. Sure, it would be hard to live with him, but they won't be there that much longer. He buries himself by calling others cancer and telling his outrageous stories that cannot be true. If I were out there, I would have gotten rid of Brendan and Tyson before Coach for sure! (JT too, and I see JT and Brendan as two of the very most likeable Survivors ever.)

This most recent tribal council was one of the best ever! Great show this season!

I liked Brendan tremendously, but JT has gone down a little since his Sierra comments and his cocky atitude. I'm almost hoping he goes next just because I don't like it when anyone gets all self-congratulatory about how they are in control of the game the way he and Steven have gotten.

The difference between Coach and Fairplay is that Fairplay always had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. The smirk of a smart a$$ on his face. Poor Coach is expressing his thoughts with delusional sincerity. He believes his own tales. You have to feel pity for him, but I couldn't listen to it very long.

Once she gave the idol to Stephen it became HIS idol, so the technical answer to your question is "no." I think TAJ thinks that Stephen has her idol, but that is not what the rules of the game decree.

I don't see Fairpaly, bless his heart, in any way like Coach. I think Sallycat said it best...

TNT, yes, technically, but not ethically.. TAJ found the idol and asked him to HOLD it, generously shared it for whichever of them might be in trouble. Technically, sure, but clearly he's someone you'd have to deal with carefully in real life.. bring your attorney along for the ride.

I hated Fairplay, still do and I don't care where his tongue was lodged.

Coach is irritating.

Tyson's plan to wear a mink coat to the finale.. seems like the guy who won who was also a porn star was seen sporting a mink coat in pics, so, Tyson, that has been done already.

Unfortunately, ethics has nothing to do with the who owns the idol. It is in Jeff's blog (the week Taj gave the idol to Stephen to hold) that once she gave it to him to "hold," it became his idol.

Yep, Steven said right after he took the idol that it was now his. I see that as yet another future blindside to Taj.

I have to agree that I wouldn't want to know Tyson in person but Coach is disturbing me more and more. All of his interactions with women have to do with the fact that he innately feels he is a Father/Chief/God figure that they should obey. Debbie even thinks that Sierra should pay for the consequences of her actions. What action, Debbie? Thinking for herself? Where do these people live? In cults? How much food has Coach hunted and brought back to camp? How many competitions has he contributed to winning?

My only hope is that Erin, the original "cancer" is playing Coach to the hilt. Now that would be a wondeful blindside to view later.

Lexie, ethics has to do with who I like and don't like all the time, and even on Survivor and it may well have to do with certain people losing jury votes from certain other people.. of course Taj may end up so blindsided whe never knows he had no intention of her ever gettintg the idol she found back, until after the jury vote. And if the world is right for me, she'll be in the finals and he'll be on the jury.

Coach being blindsided would be nice. Unfortunately I don't care much for anyone besides Sierra and Taj

Not strictly a cult of course, but the Survivor situation approaches some where there are "cultic" relationships with certain people. The good news is that many "eyes" are watching.. and those stuck in the situation will soon enough be at home with family, seeing what happened. But it is bewildering to watch.. I guess they have to walk the tightrope of being TOO outspoken or just caving in.

===

Tyson was whining about how the immunity competition wasn't simply one that could be won by strength/power and well too bad for him, BUT I did think it was one of the lamer comps.. no thought, not much, anyway, no balance, etc., required and really just luck of the draw in the oder of the last round. Whoever went last should have won, and that is what happened.
