Stephen solidified my reading of him as shady on tonight's show. Super shady

I really like Tyson a lot, but I don't want him to last past the final 4. He's a little too much personality for too long. Like Carol Channing.

How has Brendon lost so little weight?

I really did not care for Tyson in the beginning. But he has grown on me and I'm now getting quite a kick out of him.

OT, I suppose, but did anyone else see the SpongeBob/Burger King ad directed at kids? All about the booty...and I don't mean pirates.
I'm getting really sick of shit like this at the "family hour". Even AI doesn't respect the family viewing, in my opinion.

Raen told us in TAR area she'd be gone for two Sundays.. and this Thursday is between them.

======

I think there is shadiness all round there..

I still don't like Tyson at all. So I'm getting quite a kick out of him wearing a "lame duck" II necklacee.. All dressed up and no place to go, nothing to defend and scared that all of his plotting could leak out. And of course it will be VERRRRY interesting to see who gets II.

LOL.. just imagine Carol Channing on Survivor.

Not a Stephen fan, either.

Feel bad for Joe. And that wound being so close to the knee.. that is NOT a good place for that. Maybe we will find out really soon, not that he's "out", if he had to have surgery or what. It would have medically criminal to NOT pull him out. I suspect he didn't say anything at first, not wanting to call attention to it, then being afraid they'd pull him. I noticed that the minute Jeff saw the wound, he looked skyward, probably to make sure the helicopter was around.

Coach thinks much of himself, but so do half the others. As far as him doing Tai Chi.. many people I respect very much practice various discplines and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

I glaze over at most fast food ads.. the Burger King freaks me out, Jack too (though the little cattle the size of schnauzers is funny, not sure if the little cowboys are too PC.

Carl's ads are the worst.

I got an infection as a kid from sliding in my socks on the wood floors and a really large splinter went into my heel and broke off.. I didn't want to tell my mom since we'd been told NOT to slide on the floor. Time went by and I was getting out of playing softball (on a gravel playground) which I loathed, but finally was limping and had to tell.. was whisked right to the doctor, who noted that line running up my leg (and it wasn't all hot and swollen like Joe's) and they had to numb it up and cut it open.. but yikes did it hurt when he went in for the splinter, the streak lost the fight to what I imagine was penecillin. But they didn't have all the drugs (or all the drug resistant infections) back then. But his seemed so angry looking and the swelling was so extensive and then there is the knee area.. nothing was good about his situation. I think he hurt it in one of the comps in the muddy/dirty water..

While I am not that fond of Stephen, I really like the alliance of Taj, Steven, Brendan and Sierra. I am hoping it goes forward because if the Coach alliance goes forward, it will be so very boring as they shoot off the others.

Yes, Coach was not happy that Tyson was taking credit for winning the immunity. Coach did hand it to him. First he signaled with his eyes to Tyson and then just got off the pole. We all know he could have won it outright.

Physically, Tyson could be an obstacle for future challenges. He looks lean and flexible.

There were a couple of shots of Brendon, last night, where I went "Whoa!.... he looks good!"

I must admit that I, too, took advantage of Coach's outright permission to call him anything we wanted to. All I can say about that here is that "Dragonslayer" was not one of the names I bestowed upon him.

I felt very bad for Joe, but I am so glad that Brendan and Sierra were safe. I also enjoyed every second of Coach and Tyson's displeasure and unease about the possibility of their plan leaking out. I think Tyson better watch out, it looks like Coach may be auditioning JT for the role of "Assistant Coach" so he can demote Tyson to water-boy.

I'm not a Coach fan, at all. He's actually ruining this season for me. Taj is my gal this season. I'm not holding my breath that she'll make it much further but I'll keep tuning in to see how it plays out.

Because Coach is so in love with himself...he thinks we will all be in love with him too. He is living out some novel he read.
I loved it when Taj said she liked anything beginning with the letter "F".

Burger King SpongeBob Ad Too Sexual?

SpongeBob SquarePants the focus of a sexually oriented controversy? Yup.
The Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC) has launched a letter-writing campaign demanding that Nickelodeon and Burger King immediately pull a new, "highly sexualized" television ad for BK's 99-cent SpongeBob Kids Meal.

The objections were lodged after the ad ran during the NCAA men's basketball championship and other programming on Monday night.

It is time for Stephen and Taj to rope in JT and Brendon and Sierra to woo Erinn. Those six could dominate the next few TC's! With ten people remaining, how do ANY four people think they can rule the game?

And this week's shady doings can't hit the fan too soon for me!

I think they should leave JT out. Unfortunately, I think he would run to Coach with the information. He seemed pretty happy with Coach and Tyson's overture for an alliance. Erinn, yes, now they should bring her into their alliance.

Sea, I'm with you on the not being a Tyson fan. I don't know why, but I do not like him.

I think Benjamin and Luann (from RHNY) should get together. We may actually see an explosion when their two egos meet! :-)

Don't you get it? We don't need to be Tyson's fans because he is obviously all the fan he needs...he and Coach are an almost perfect pair of narcissists (although I think Tyson is a lot more self-aware than Coach).

My sofa is more self-aware than Coach. Really, what planet is he from?

In Tyson and Coach, I see self-confidence and intelligence, not narcissism.
How can someone be successful if they cower in a corner and don't assert themselves?

The only thing I didn't love about last night's show was seeing how bad Joe's leg was and that he had to leave. I feel so bad for him.

Other than that, REALLY great show last night! I love all the plotting and scheming! I think we have quite a few smart players out there. They all seem pretty much out for themselves and not so much team players unless they have to be. Except maybe Taj. I really like her, but I don't think she's playing the smartest game.

I do feel a tiny bit bad about Tyson winning immunity and it not counting for anything. It seems unfair, but, it is part of the game. I am also assuming it won't count for anything. Maybe it will. Next week will tell.

I think JT is smart and won't go running to Coach with info unless he really thinks it will help him in the game. He already lied to Coach about Taj have the HII.

I think Survivor producers were really making fun of Coach with all the majestic music when he was doing his Tai Chi. I was LOL! (nothing against Tai Chi at all.) I think when he sees the show he will have a much different opinion, he will probably think they think he is wonderful and were paying tribute to him.

I see Taj as being a confident and intelligent woman and someone with a great wit. I don't see much wit in Coach but I do see a whole bunch of narcissism and it's not becoming, at all. Sure, many laugh at Coach but it's at his expense not due to his wit. Coach may have intelligence where his professions are concerned but I see him lacking in social intelligence and at the end of the day it's a social game. If he makes it to the final 2 it's unlikely that he'll get the votes that give the million dollars away.

I bet the producers are (or were, at the time) scrambling over what to do about the immunity necklace now. My guess is next week there will either be a second immunity given out or they'll do a task that doesn't deal with immunity (maybe one of their big prize ones). It's not fair on Tyson if he has to give it up without using it.

(Come to think of it, it's ages since they've given out cars... I wonder if it's because ratings are down or because of the "won the car, doesn't deserve the win too" stigma.)

In Tocantins, we were several hours by car and nearly two hours by helicopter from the nearest hospital. They looked at his leg and decided the infection was too risky. He was evacuated and taken to hospital and he is doing fine.

From Jeff's blog.

I don't feel sorry for Tyson not getting to take full advantage of his II. This game has always changed on a minutes notice and this is exactly how they've handled injuries in the past. If he's as great as he thinks he is, it shouldn't be a problem to win the next one - right? hee hee

I also think JT is playing Coach and Tyson just as much as he is playing Taj. I have no doubt he will leak to Brandon what Coach and Tyson were planning. It would be to everyone else's advantage to take out Tyson or Coach next and the only one who wouldn't go along with it is the one lady who likes them. Next week should be really good!

I'm loving this season and so far nobody is ruining it for me.
Coach cracks me up the way he talks to us(camera) like we don't see him doing the same thing that he says others better not do to him, like lying. When JT and Coach had that talk, coach says let's keep this conversation to ourselves, next scene, he is telling Tyson the whole conversation. Which is fine, game playing in my opinion, but don't deny it to us the viewers.

JT is my favorite right now so I hope he plays both sides and keeps safe.

I am both self-confident and intelligent, but I allow others to see those traits rather than feeling the need to mention them.

Oooooh, I had forgotten that JT lied to Coach about Taj having the idol! GO, JT!! I do hope JT is playing Coach and Tyson. I would hate to see him become part of the Evil Empire.

The cross-tribal alliance needs at least six folks. I think Erinn would be an easy sell because she doesn't appear to have any strong attachments within her former tribe. I guess I want JT in the expanded group because I want to see him stick around! He is playing to WIN, and I am sure he would be quick to see the advantage of being in a group of six.

JT did not lie about Taj having the idol, because she doesn't have it. She GAVE it to Stephen. So she does not have it. She FOUND it, but she does not HAVE it.
