Off topic, kind of. March Madness is the best pure sport, one game means everything, show around.

64 teams get to play. Some are the "sure to win" teams. Others are the small college that won its league tourney.

Think Baseball and Pro teams and then college teams and then high school teams.... all get to play.

One loss puts you out and one win moves you along.

Every game counts, Every score counts...Every move counts. The giants can fall, the team that got in on a glitch in the rules can kill a giant.

You can see the hopes and dreams on the faces of those in the game. You always cheer for the lower seed.

I can wait one week for Survivor. March Madness is the ultimate reality TV.

After hearing Stephen's comments on tonight's show about he's got the Taj HII in his pocket so it's "His" and if Taj went home he gets to keep it. Frankly, he doesn't seem particularly intelligent, but he's sounding kind of sneaky.

Hmmm? Had to check in on a previous RealityTv interview with Sandy comments:

http://realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-sandy-burgins-talks-about-her-time-on-survivor-tocantins-8566.php

..."and then JT and Stephen was the thickest because opposites attract. Because there's JT, a farm boy, and Steven's a city boy from New York and that was the most prevalent alliance that I saw.

They were literally together... they were almost like Siamese twins, so Stephen did real well picking JT. .. <snipped>

-- I truly hoped that Taj has made a good choice in alliance, but I'm wondering here how safe it is? Now, that she could honestly say "I don't have the HII at TC". I hope she yanks that idol out of little skanky guy's pocket danged quick, even if it means yanking his shorts off to do so!

Somehow I am hoping that takes place off-camera!

I wonder WHY Taj picked Stephen.

JT kind of surprised me. Right of the bat, I pegged him as a mild southern gentleman type. Then out of nowhere comes this competetive, agressive guy. Just goes to show that first impressions are not always valid.

How oh how, did Sydney stay out of the hot water this TC? She wasn't even mentioned! How could JT & Joe think that Spencer is not as strong a player to keep??


I had the same thoughts!!! I still would have brought her name up!! LOL

you're a little off Christy- it's actually 65 teams (the two lowest ranked teams- usually winners of little-known conferences- play on Tuesday night in a play-in game for the right to get destroyed by the overall #1 seeded team in the tournament later that week)

Still- three weeks? I think this is the first time they've gone three weeks between new eps during a season (usually they do two Wednesday episodes, one a recrap)

I'm guessing so they can squeeze another week out of May sweeps. By going three weeks, they can end the season on either Sunday, May 24 or May 31.

did I hear Spencer correctly when he said his mom had only said she loved him three times in his life?! I was shocked and so sad for him!!!
I heard I love you daily from my parents. DYlan hears it daily and at the end of any phone convo, same goes for my DH.

I thought it was JT that said that and I also thought it rather sad. It wasn't a daily occurance at our house growing up but I know it was more than thrice.

I'm sorry Spencer is gone, I liked him.

But I'm baffled why Jeff made such a big deal over the tooth, saving it and thinking JT would want it...

Are we auctioning it off for charity at the end of the game? Ewwww.... LOL

ROFL, Karuuna!

I like Jalapao so much better that I was sad they lost the IC, but then again, Brendan is a redeeming feature of the other tribe and if his tribe had lost IC, he might have been booted. I absolutely do not want to lose Brendan yet!

I liked Spencer, too.

Anyone else disliking Tyson as much as me? He gets under my skin! UGH!

Oh, and that was a really cool challenge where they had to spin their tribemates before said tribemates had to walk the beam. Has that been done before?

It was JT that said it, and that the letter was the third time.

One thing I have noticed about Coach, is he sets it up so he is never the reason Timbura loses a challenge. The fate of whether Timbura wins or loses will never fall on his shoulders.

And where was Coach in that immunity challenge? I don't remember seeing him. He sure never made any catches.

I am still liking Tyson, although he is so skinny, he is a bit painful to look at.

Nope, I sure didn't see Coach making any catches. And on the spin thing for the RC, he didn't get on the spinner and try to walk across the board. He pulled the rope.

Is next week's episode a new episode or is it one of those recap shows where they have "never before seen" segments?

I, for one, wanted to see coach spinning and walking around like a "drunken sailor". Instead he got to pull the rope. Not fair!

aahh JT, thanks for correcting me. Isnt that the saddest thing you ever heard? His own mom only saying it 3 times?! I hope JT marries a girl that tells him daily! Everyone should hear they are loved more often than 3 times.

Hermie, ITA coolest challenge ever!

I barely even saw Coach during the challenges, esp in the ball catching. I wonder if he even realizes that he is comming off like a tool. Not calling him one just saying the editing really has been done to highlight that behaviour

I just keep thinking back to Jeff's blog, where he said: We have something very special for you fans this season, it's a new Survivor philosophy, you might even call it a religion of sorts. IT goes by the name Coach. Stay open to IT. Stay open to Coach. Beautiful things may emerge if you just open your arms and accept what Coach can offer you. Salvation? I doubt it. Great laughs? Absolutely. Coach is a star. He was meant to be on Survivor. I only wish we could clone him. I'm already pushing CBS to do another All-Star season just so we can have him back

And besides, I actually like Coach much better than Tyson. lol

Some people don't express feelings very well. It would be interesting to know if she showed she loved him in other ways.

In Jeff's blog, he praises Coach for all the interesting things he says and does. I wish they would show us some of them. It sure doesn't come across that way on TV. Maybe you had to be there.

As far as the tooth goes, I thought JT said he broke half of the tooth off, not that it got knocked out. Depending on where it broke, that could pose a problem. Hope he does not get an infection or a toothache.

In Jeff's most recent blog he did mention auctioning off the tooth, I think. JT didn't want it so now it's at Jeff's house in a plastic bag. Jeff is going to bring it to the reunion and see if JT wants it then. If not, I think he mentioned EBay or maybe it was all in Dalton's blog...I can't remember.

Bee, in that blog of Jeff's, I think he is just saying that Coach is good entertainment for the show. I think Jeff is actually making fun of him, but does see him as good tv.

Well as a mom, it should be your priority to make sure you do express your feelings to your children.

I think it is ridiculous and practically abusive to not tell your child you love them. Sure, you can also show them love by actions, but they also NEED to HEAR it. Take the example of JT, he obviously wanted to hear it more than like three times by the time he was a grown man.

My kids hear "I love you" all the time.
