Great clips, but I was a little surprised to see how well Debbie got along with Sierra. Debbie must have forgotten all about calling Sierra a liar when Sierra "outted" her and Coach's plans.

Debbie is the queen of expediency - and I hope Sierra sees through her!

Debbie at Ponderosa:

Debbie is voted out.

Debbie: So, when I saw my name and Jeff said, "the next person voted out is Debbie," I was shocked, but you know what? I was really relieved. I was ready to go. It was a huge feeling of relief. I'm so excited to shower and brush my teeth and clean my fingernails.

She gets into the truck to head to Ponderosa. She says: When I got in that truck, I grabbed that chocolate and started eating with both hands. I want peanut butter SO bad. Is there peanut butter?

As the truck drives the bumpy, dark road to Ponderosa, Debbie says: I'm so proud of myself. I got 33 days in. My middle-school kids are gonna be blown away. I'm a middle-school principal and I left 908 sixth and seventh grade kids not knowing where their principal disappeared to.

She says she's ready to get back into the real world and wonders if she even knows how to use a toilet any more. She says the rest of Forza are going back to the cold palm frongs that are soaking wet and she's eating chocoate with peanut butter.

She says the Timbira tribe members played the game wrong, says they lost their unity and that's what got them in the end.

She arrives at Ponderosa and sees the doctor. She's lost six pounds. She says she ate a pound of candy on the way to Ponderosa.

As she walks toward the bridge, she says she gets to see her friends and eat dinner and that she is so glad to be at Ponderosa.

She runs toward Sierra saying: YAY!! I am SO glad it was ME! I am so done with this game.

Sierra gives her a drink and a Snicker and Debbie says they gave her one in the car. She hugs Sierra, Tyson and Brenden. Sierra and Tyson tell her that, for selfish purposes, they hoped it would be her. She says she was SO ready to be done.

Debbie's voice-over: It made me feel really loved and excited to be here with them.

Brenden's voice-over: When Debbie arrived she was, like, where's the wine, where's the food and let's talk about the last three days.

As Debbie loads her plate, she asks them if they've been eating like fools. They say, oh yeah. Sierra tells her she had lost eleven pounds and has probably gained five back.

As she eats, Debbie says: Well, they blindsided me tonight and more power to them. I was so ready to get out of it.

Sierra tells her that Taj has an idol.

Tyson tells Debbie to eat slowly or she'll feel sick.

Brenden says that Debbie is an awesome spirit to be around, so positive and bubbly.

Debbie tells Tyson that she's been living in his shorts and Tyson says he's just glad they weren't on Erinn's gross butt.

Sierra says she's glad Debbie is there and that Debbie is her female version of Brenden, that they leaned on eachother like crazy.

Tyson says: Let's sit in a circle and pray for heavy rain tonight.

Debbie says: Yeah!

Debbie says she's going to have a great time with her friends...and EAT.

She says she's never going to take simple pleasures for granted again. She heads off to wash her face and brush her teeth, which she hasn't done in 33 days. She looks into a mirror and says it's the first time she's seen one in 33 days. She says her face looks skinny.

She and Sierra hug, and Debbie asks her to wake her in the morning. She repeats that she's so excited to be there.

As she heads to a tent, she says that to be able to sleep in a dry bed and not care if it's raining will be good, that she's been wet and cold for two weeks straight. She says she didn't want to be a quitter and that she said all along that when it was her time to go she would go gracefully and that that's what she did tonight.

Part 2:

Debbie says she didn't shower last night because it was cold. She got a good look in a full length mirror, and thought, "Who in the heck is that?? I don't have any clothes here that fit me. I have no butt."

She and Sierra set about giving themselves manicures and pedicures, with red polish as that's the only color they have. She wishes she had a hair colorist out there.

They grab some brews and go lay out on the beach. Debbie says she feels really blessed that she has that time with them outside of the game before she goes home because Tyson, Sierra and Brenden were her closest people in the game.

They barbeque chicken, steak and sausages. Debbie says she's scared of the sausage. But later, she says the sausage is delicious.

Brenden says his favorite people to spend time with were Debbie, Sierra and Tyson, so to have them all together has been a blast.

They toast to the Jury.

Sierra says she thought it was fun with the two boys but it's going to be insane with Debbie there now.

There is an amazing shot of the beautiful night sky with all the stars and consellations, shooting stars. Brenden says it was amazing.

They have a big fire and sit around, talking and bonding. Laughing.

Brenden says that any time they sit around a fire with friends from now on it will always bring them back to their time on Survivor.

Part 3:

They receive tree-mail which says: On your porch find a message from home.

Debbie tears up as she heads to her porch. She says that's been the hardest part, missing her family and her husband. She watches a video from home on a little hand-held gizmo. On it, her husband says everyone misses her, no one has been expelled, no one is in jail and everyone misses her very much. He says everything is the same, but it's kind of like the bubbles are gone from his water without her there. She cries as she watches it.

Brenden watches his, says that little gizmo that has the video on it is like a gateway to his life. His mom says that Poppy couldn't be there, but she reads a letter that says he is proud of him and that his joy of life is infectous, and that his is and always will be a winner. Brenden says it always feels good to have your parents say they are proud of you.

Sierra watches hers. She starts to cry right away. They tell her they've been poking around in her closet. She laughs thru her tears as she watches them. She says it meant the world to her to watch the video and that she doesn't want to give it back. They tell her they pray for her every day and read her horoscope to make sure she's doing good. She says she wants to hurry up and jump in their arms and will be there soon enough.

Tyson watches his. His sister (?) holds a little girl on her lap and tells Tyson it's quiet without him there and that they all miss him.

They are all happy to get their videos. Debbie says they are plucked out of the world and it's like they're on Mars and then to have a slice of home thru technology is so great. She says the phone (they watched the videos on) is amazing and she may have to get one when she goes home.

It's good to see that Tyson seems to be back to being the person he was when he started this game. It's nice to see him treat Sierra with respect as a fellow human being instead of as a punching bag. I'm still wary of him but I hope this is the actual real Tyson.

Beekindpleez asked me to post these here too. Personally I'm not able to do the Adobe/CBS site ever since MS Vista appeared. On both of my computers, spent days trying to rectify and found a LOT of others in the same boat. Still the Youtubes work for us, so here 'tis:

Thanks too Spear! I had stopped looking for new ones.

I'm on slow dialup, but yes TNT Pt.4 stays black for a bit before it started loading.

Being voted out did not end his delusions.

The "background" music in those clips drowned out a lot of their voices and it was hard to make out what they were saying at times. I wish they would quit with that awful music.

Man, Sierra sure does eat a lot.

Some of you guys said exactly what I was thinking: Coach is still delusional. The man makes me gag.

Also, did it amaze anyone else that he said he really wanted to communicate with only Debbie and Tyson? It's a game, you phony hack. Grow up.

After watching the first Ponderosa video with Coach, I've got to say I found it hilarious when he said that he wanted the strongest at the end, and if they hadn't blindsided Tyson, it would have worked. Uh, Coach, what about when you blindsided Brendan? That pretty much gave the game away to the Jalapao tribe to do whatever they wanted; and having you win was not their #1 priority!

He really does live on a separate astral plane. It's like there's this Ren-Fair playing in his mind on constant loop. He plays all the parts, though. I don't think damselles in distress figure into his fantasies unless it's him in drag and he saves himself whilst forking his fairytale monster of choice.

I agree Merrysea. Coach signed his own death warrant when he went after Brendan. If they had waited until they got rid of Taj, Stephan and JT, he would have controlled the whole game. Why? I don't know how anyone bought his BS, but with Debbie and Tyson helping him, he could have gone to the end.

i believe it is called "pride" (arrogance)why coach wanted brendan out! coach wanted to be the leader calling the shots and felt threatened by brendan.coach is the one who screwed up and yes coach u r right the strongest did make it to the end and obviously u r not one of the strongest.
coach : Pride goeth before the fall...and u fell big time!(and don't blame it on your back,age or asthma!)
