Here's Jeff's Blog on last night's show!

Jeff Probst blogs 'Survivor: Tocantins' (episode 11)
May 1, 2009, 08:50 AM | by Jeff Probst

Categories: 'Survivor', About Last Night, Reality TV, Television, Things That Are Awesome!

Let me begin by admitting that I blew it big time on my last blog. As much as I enjoyed everything I wrote...and I did…I completely overlooked one of the greatest blindsides in the history of Survivor.

Tyson's blindside was brilliant, and I can tell from the word on the street that you guys loved it! So I had to start tonight's blog by giving credit where due – that was a fantastic blindside and I think even Tyson appreciated the execution of it, so to speak.

Okay, onto tonight's episode – J.T. is a great player. The moment they got back to camp, he immediately went to Coach and explained why he didn't tell him which way the vote was going. No matter what else Coach may think, he will forever appreciate J.T.'s ''honesty'' and if J.T. is in the final and Coach is not, J.T. probably gets Coach's vote. That's how important the social politics are in this game. You have to manage every single person every single moment of every single day.

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie... she is a sly one. I wonder if anybody is buying it? I wouldn't let Debbie last much longer if I had my way because she is too likable, completely untrustworthy, and if she gets to the end she'd have a great shot at winning.

How in the heck did Timbira let themselves get into the situation you ask? It's why this game is so damn good. No matter how strong your alliance is, there is ALWAYS somebody on the bottom of that alliance and that person is ALWAYS looking to move up.

Erinn knew she was low person on the Timbira totem pole. She was vulnerable. Jalapao sensed it and took advantage. It doesn't matter if you watch every episode of every season and then get a chance to play Survivor yourself – you stand the same chance of making the same mistakes because this game is based on human nature.

Erinn didn't betray anybody, Erinn is playing the game. She made the best move for herself in this game and it kept her alive. That's why this game works season after season. There is no ''foolproof game plan'' that will keep you safe. Hindsight is always 20-20 but in the moment it is a very difficult game.

INSIGHT: Last night's reward challenge - where the tribe members try to guess who was voted ''biggest pain in the ass'' and other things like that - has run its course. I think we need to avoid this challenge for a while because I think what happened this year is that the Survivors had already discussed amongst themselves whose name they were going to write down if this challenge came up. I can't prove it, but that's my guess. I don't think we'll be seeing this one again for a while.

INSIGHT: Erinn had a miserable night on Exile Island. Brutal. In 18 seasons of Survivor, I'd venture that was probably one of the worst nights that anybody has endured. It didn't come across nearly as bad as it was. She definitely earned her Survivor stripes.

Okay, I'll admit it. I had no idea Taj would be this well liked, even by me! When she picked up that little girl at the reward, it reminded me of how special moms are to us all. How important they are to the world and that I need to get on it and order some flowers for Mother's Day!

Taj is also smarter than I realized. She has mastered the art of staying out of the way. The big risk Taj is flirting with is letting Stephen and J.T. get so tight that they're inseparable. What she has going for her is that sooner or later one of those guys is gonna want to take the other out and that could put Taj in a great spot.

(Deep breathe.) Debbie and Coach were so annoying tonight. I am so done with them lecturing Sierra. I kind of expect it from Coach and almost laugh when he does it, but Debbie was irritating. Here's my take: I imagine that Sierra was definitely a pain in the ass and annoyed people but damn, enough is enough. ''Can't we all just get along?''

HYPOCRITE: Coach. Coach. Coach. Dragon Slayer, you know I love you, but dude, you are one major hypocrite. Coach: ''Sierra is gonna do whatever she must to get as far as she can without any honor.'' Honor? Oh for crying out loud. It's a game and YOU are playing it as much as anyone! You lie as much as anyone else, Coach. You do see that, right? Please tell me you are smiling as you read this because you know that I know that you know that we all know that you know! Ya know? Please.

And Debbie, don't think I don't see you hiding there in the brush. Debbie: ''I'm too old for this.'' No, you're not too old. You're just frustrated that a 46-year-old woman got busted by an annoying 23-year-old. We all saw the episode. We all heard what we heard. You and Coach lied. Period. The funny part is all of you are nuts anyway because once again, it's a game! You're supposed to lie, that's part of the fun! ''Who can I trust?'' is the single great question of the game.

MINI ORGASM: More rain. Wasn't very hard but it did make me a little moist. The rain. The rain made me moist. Relax everybody. Please don't waste your time writing to tell me I'm a pervert. I just ignore those posts.

The Dragon Slayer won immunity. Oh man, he is so happy! I love it. Imagine how great a story this will become as it grows over the next 20 years.

Coach: ''And then, it was raining so hard that you literally could not see. Even Jeff said, 'It's raining so hard, I can't see.' But I dug deep and I used my ability to meditate while standing and that allowed me to see through the impenetrable rain. Something only Jedi masters can do.

''Then, I used my telepathic powers to guide the ball through a maze that was so difficult it had never been accomplished by anyone before. Even Jeff said so: 'This challenge is so difficult, no human being has ever accomplished it before!'

''When I finally won, Jeff tried to put the immunity necklace around my neck but due to me bench pressing 350 lb tree trunks earlier in the day my neck was too big for the necklace. That was another first. Even Jeff said as much, 'Wow, I've never seen a neck so big as a result of bench pressing 350 lb tree trunks that I can't get the necklace around. That's impressive.' ''

I'm so happy that I'm gonna be part of a Coach tall tale!

Finally...I will miss Sierra. I'm sure she earned most of the grief people gave her, but I still found her to be a bit of an underdog. That's just how I roll. She certainly made the show interesting. I'm not sure if she's a hero or a villain but she was definitely memorable. Goodnight, Sierra-Moto.

That's all I'm gonna say about this subject. Period. Paragraph. (Yes, that is a Coach-ism. I just couldn't resist.)

Just learned something by watching the Ponderosa Clips where Sierra joins Brendan and Tyson at the lodge.

Sierra told the guys that before the TC where Tyson was blindsided, that she told the Timbiras that Taj had the other II and that they should blindside her and vote her out, trying to save herself. It wound up, she said, that the Jalapaos were smarted and used the time to blindside Tyson instead. So, now we know that the remaining Timbiras think that Taj has an idol. They don't have a clue that Stephen has it in his possession, though.

Pamy ... Here's your Tribal Council Transcript:

Tribal Council Voting

Find out what each castaway had to say as they cast their votes

Stephen (Sierra): I really think you're an honest person, but in this game, you have to eliminate wild cards. There's enough variables. I'm sorry, but you're too erratic to keep around.

Debbie (Sierra): We've said it all. There's nothing left to say.

"Coach" (Sierra): I'll say it again. Two Tribals ago I slew your dragon boyfriend. Tonight I have to take care of his princess, but you're not so much of a princess after you used that mouth tonight, are you? Goodnight and good riddance.

Sierra ("Debby", with a heart): See you soon.

JT (Sierra): I appreciate your honesty, but better you than me.

Erinn ("Stephan" and then "Never Again, Swear"): I promise I'll never vote for you again, but I couldn't vote for Sierra.

Taj ("Debbi"): I promised her I wouldn't vote her.

That's interesting... they all seemed to like Sierra (and thought she was telling the truth about "the incident"). The only venom being spewed at TC's vote was by Coach and Debbi.

Love Jeff.. and there is more funny stuff about Coach, but this was my favorite section:

Here's our CBS Misdirection Clues. Picked them up while reading posts over at Survivor Blows:

I think Taj is the one that will make the sacrifice. Maybe she gives up seeing more of the video so her tribe can have a feast or something.

I have to agree with you Pamy. I think Taj is the only motherly figure there who would see the picture beyond her own needs.

Now that the insect bites are not so much in evidence, I think Taj is looking really nice. Debbie is looking pretty worn by now -

Probably another cultural misunderstanding, but I thought Native Americans didn't have facial hair to the extent that Coach does.

I agree with those of you that think Taj makes the sacrifice. I'm thinking she gets the video, then her hubby appears on the horizon...and before she can join him, Jeff says the two of them can go off somewhere alone for an overnight comfort stay......or, and then the other family members join Eddie George on the horizon...and Jeff says they can all join their loved ones for a special picnic or something for a couple of hours ...... and she sacrifices the comfort, overnight stay for everybody to be together.

That's just my thoughts on the possible events. No new pictures up today......so no tell-tale signs of anything else, yet.

Personally I think the ultimate sacrifice would be "coach" falling on his own blowhard sword and getting booted! (One can hope, can't one?)

TDT has some more shots of this challenge:

From looking at these, and not seeing any "loved ones" involved, that answers the question some posters had about the "loved ones" being involved in the IC.

So, the loved ones are part of this week's RC ... or the video of Taj's family is this week and the loved ones are next week. I think it's this week since there is the clue about a sacrifice.

Here's the IC pics:

1
2
JT is definitely in it, getting his knee under to the other side.
3
Debbie is running ... is that a good sign?
I don't see any sand on her.
4
Taj is smiling, covered with sand ... I would think if she was winning she wouldn't be stopping and smiling.
5
Stephen is not smiling ... definitely not a winner of the RC
6
And Coach appears to be down and out.

Based on these pics, TDT says the RC winner is either JT or Erinn (not shown) or Taj. I don't think Taj is a consideration.

On the "to-go' screencap above, it looks like JT (I think that's him) has dug quite a hole already. Debbie is next to him and it doesn't look like there's much of a hole there.

See the green tower-type stool in the "to go" picture and then see the green stripes on the challenge part where JT is digging in the sand to go underneath?

I think the picture of Debbie running is probably her running to that tower-type stool in the first part of the challenge. They probably all up to go up and over those small towers before getting to the "dig a hole in the sand" part. Just a guess.

NOTICE:
I'm leaving early Tuesday morning to go help unload all those boxes in Alabama that I helped my sister load up 2 or 3 weeks ago, at the other end of their move. I will not be back til Sunday, Mother's Day sometime. When I went to help load up boxes, their computer was hooked up ... no problem checking in. I do not know what I am going to find this time. Between Tuesday and Thursday they may be up and running and I might be able to start the next thread...but if not, you will know why and somebody else may have to jump in here until I can get back. It's easy for me because I have done it for so long and have a software that I'm used to using.........so any help in just getting it started would be appreciated.

Hey Cost ... you are not alone.

It has been assumed on some of the other boards that Coach may have asthma. Have no clue is that's a given or just an assumption!
