Newest Ponderosa video with Sierra. The best Ponderosa footage yet! Its in three parts, so scroll down for all three.

Lots of funny and fun stuff, but my favorite is where they are getting ready for the next elimination and are going to wear feathers in their hair as a tribute to Coach. :-)

Just in case you're waiting, those of you who can't get the clips, when they come up on YouTube and I've got a few minutes, I'll transcribe them for you.

Here ya go:

Sierra leaves TC, saying: Where's the food? That's all I care about.

She gets in the truck with the Doctor, as the others did, and starts eating cookies. She says it was a box of 25 cookies and she probably got thru 15 or 20. Says it's better than sex, man. She says she ate chips, an apple and two granola bars and doesn't care if she gets fat.

She says to the Dr.: They used to tell me that everyone who's done this would do it again? Never. No way.

She says: I made it to day 30, and there are only 9 days left. I never thought I would make it this far. I'm pretty impressed with myself, whether or not I was used to blindside someone else, still sticking it thru those extra six says was super hard.

She goes into the tent for the medical exam. She has lost 11 pounds.

She walks across the bridge as Brenden and Tyson stand on the other side. Brenden greets her with a hug. Then Tyson says: Come here. She tells Tyson he looks great. (He has shaved and is clean, she rubs his face.)

Tyson, voice-over: It's kind of, actually, a special moment when somebody else comes in to camp because you have that bond with them regardless of who they are, you know?

The fellas tell her they have wine and beer and steaks and food and the three head off to the food tent.

While loading her plate, she says it feels good to be out of it.
One of the fellas, not sure which, says it does feel good.
Tyson says: As soon as the votes are read and the initial shock is over...I was like, sweet.
Sierra: You're like, okay. Let me out. Let me out.
Tyson: Yeah.

As she loads her plate, Tyson tells her: Rookie mistake? I've been up to here with food and I feel like puking ever single second, so take it slow.

She eats and eats, saying: Do you know how good this food tastes??
Tyson tells her to take it slow.

Later, Tyson: I warned her not to make any rookie mistakes with the food, you know? I'm kind of like a seasoned veteran at Ponderosa now, which some people may consider pathetic, but I consider it average.

As they eat together, Brenden says: I don't understand why the four Timbira didn't get back together? Taj...you know, Taj has the idol.

Sierra: No one would believe me.

Brenden: Really?

Sierra in interview: I told them. I, like, let them in on all the good and juicy gossip.

Back at the eating, Sierra: The thing I told Coach? Taj has the idol, honey. Use me to blindside her tonight because everyone thinks that I'm going home, 100%. Use my story to blindside. Instead, Jalapao was smarter and used me to blindside [Tyson].

Brenden laughs and says: Awesome!

Sierra: Then, when Coach won...(She re-enacts him)...when the ball fell into the net, I was, like, nooooo, because it's my life on the line. The only person who can not win...it falls into the net and he goes, "Dragon Slayer!"

Tyson: Did he really??

And the three of them crack up!

Later, Sierra: It feels so great to be able to finally enjoy these people's time like you thought you did in the beginning and not have to think that they're going to turn on you. Because it's over.
It was an awesome reunion. We all want to sleep in eachother's room, in eachother's tent.

Brenden goes into a tent. He says: We got two cots. I gotta clean this place up. I wasn't prepared to have houseguests. It totally makes sense coming back. Once you get used to sleeping with other people, it's very lonely when you don't do it.

Sierra gathers some of her things and says: I'm sleeping with Brenden.
She heads off toward his tent, asking: Where are you? We have separation anxiety from eachother. Is that weird?

Sierra, in interview: I'm looking forward to having a week here relaxing and then going back to my life.

She and Brenden go into his tent.

(And I'm happy to report that Tyson didn't say "Dude" once. lol)

Video 2 is "Life at Ponderosa"

Sierra: The first day, I had, like, anxiety about waking up with palm frongs, but I wake up in this tent and it was totally different. The land scape was different. I got to go eat. So it was a totally different experience for me.

Tyson: I think she's doing okay. She's a little emotional.

Brenden: The first day's challenging. She was already crying at the breakfast table, so....gotta, gotta be good.

Tyson: You realize that everybody's your friend. But in the game you can't let all your true colors show and everything, so then you get here and, like, there's no secrets at all. Talks with people, open with feelings, which I appreciate.

Sierra: All I wanna do is go home, go load up on, like, 200 dollars, 400 dollars worth of groceries and just bake the frick out of my house.

Brenden takes her a lovely omelet he made her. She says, Holy Moly.
Then, as she's eating it, says: All I can say is I'm glad I'm not here with Candace and Foot Silver. (??) It looks bomb, dude.

Brenden: This is the Ponderosa omelet. Peppers, mushrooms, onions, cheese, bacon and some fresh avocado on top.

She eats the omelet and some pancakes. Brenden reaches over for the peanut butter jar and she says, Hey, that's my jar.
Brenden says thank you for sharing.

She opens a bottle of champagne and says: Welcome to Ponderosa. Who has a cup?

Tyson comes into the food tent, in his short speedo shorts he found, and says he has something for Sierra. She says: Don't hurt me.
He hands her a little turtle and she gasps girlishly. Tyson tells her he found it by the slip-and-slide. It's a little baby turtle.

Tyson is setting up a slip and slide by the river. He wants some excersize but when he ran the other day, he was too full of food. He says he wants to swim against the current of the Rio Noble River because it will help his food settle and not be so rough on his body.
He tries the slip and slide a few different ways, and finds that lots of water and some oil will throw him from the slip and side out into the water.
He says that back at camp, he thinks slip and slide was one of the rewards they wanted, so little do they know, here at Ponderosa they get all the rewards they wants. One of the others may end up with a million dollars, but do they have a slip and slide? No.
He says it was definately thrilling to do the slip and slide. Says his concern is what's the next rush, the next thrill? How much further can he go?

Brenden says the best part about Sierra being there is that she brought the sunshine. It's the first sunny day at Ponderosa.
The three play on the slip and slide, and Tyson says it's definately a milestone and that he knows how Evil Kneivel felt and knows how his son feels, too. Says they don't have to go pay money to play at a water park, they get this virtually for free.
They laugh and play and really slide down that thing into the river water.

Sierra says the first day at Ponderosa was awesome. She got to take a shower and it feels great. The sun is shining and they're having fun.
She thinks her biggest accomplishment was making it thirty days rather than getting thru all the people because there's only nine days left and those elements are crazy.
And now, I don't have to think anymore that I have to go stand in the pouring rain. I don't have to do that anymore. It's over.

THANKS BEE! Truly appreciated!

Youtube only has Pt 3 available (that I've been able to find), still waiting for that to load on my slow dialup. This way, at least I know what I've been missing so far and what I can look forward to when Pt1 & Pt2 comes available. Was so worried about how Tyson would treat Sierra.

Video 3 is the three going on a field trip outside Ponderosa.

Tyson finds tree mail. It reads: Now that the Jury is three, it's time for an adventure. There's a waterfall, and much more to see.

They gather some things and head off.

Tyson says: you get put in these situations time and time again and you get better at solving clues. I won't be surprised if the US military offers me a job in clue solving after this.

They chase some cows that are blocking their way down a road. Tyson feels lucky that he wasn't wearing red because there is a bull there and all bulls chase red. He waves the truck by after the cows are gone and says: Carry on. Carry on.

They arrive at Fervadouro.

Brenden says it's amazing to be out of Ponderosa, get to ride in a car a little bit. The hike they are taking is a lovely jungle-type path.

They and some of the production people play joyfully in that same beautiful spring that JT, Taj and Stephen played in.

Tyson explains to everyone how the geyser works and they all laugh at him until he proves it.

Sierra thinks it's a cool experience, seeing the bananas and all the vegitation and that it's really unfamiliar for them.

Brenden thinks it's awesome.

They take a drive to a village. Tyson says: Welcome to Pontieros, the thriving metropolis in the middle of the Brazilian Highlands. Brenden says: Let's buy some grass.
Tyson says they're at The Golden Grass Market.

Sierra gets some golden bracelets from the golden grass. Tyson explains that they make items from the grass; they weave it into baskets, bracelets, earrings, placemats, steering wheel covers , hats, all made out of the shimmering golden grass.
They shop in the store as children play ball outside. A girl rides by on a motorcycle and Tyson says: Brazil is a progressive country where even girls ride motorcycles.
They leave the store with their bags of stuff and Brenden opens his and says: We have bags of grass.
He talks about the Brazilian currency being called Reals.

They head off to a pizzeria. Tyson's goal is to eat the most, to be the best at whatever it is he's doing. He eats 15 pieces. They eat with a large group of production people.
Sierra eats so much she feels she would fall off the chair if it didn't have a back. The pizza was delicious with banana and cheese. So good! It was an awesome day.

Back at Ponderosa, Sierra puts her name on the letter board with Tyson and Brenden's names. They cross their letters, like in Scrabble. Brenden says she's officially part of the jury now.
They talk about TC and Tyson says that regardless of who gets voted off next he's going to greet them with a hug, and that there's always stuff to talk about and the new ones always want to talk about the game.

Sierra dresses in her "funky" style to head off to TC. She says you get voted out and you get to play a different role. It's kind of fun even though it's not fun getting voted out, but she was sick of playing "camp life". They're all going to wear a feather to make fun Coach. As she places the feather in Brenden's hair, he says: Oh my Goodness. Ode to Coach.
They decide to wear their jackets over their shoulders and their hair slicked back.

They are shown walking into TC, each with their jackets over their right shoulders and the feathers in their slicked back hair as Jeff welcomes them to TC and they take their seats on the jury.

You're welcome, Biscotti.

Tyson is much nicer than I thought he would be. And he didn't say "Dude" so much this time around. Ha.

Nice job writing Bee. You really capture it like what I just saw.

Can't wait for next week's episode now! Coats over the shoulders & feathers in the hair heading into TC. Won't that be a hoot? Coach sees that (with paranoia kicking in) and thinking 3 out of 3 on the jury, my own former tribe mates, are mocking me! They HATE me already. Messing with his head. Nice idea Sierra, you go Gal!

Oh yum, this should be fun next week.

Nah, with Coach's ego he will think he has the jury in the bag. Whatever happened to the old rule that the jury could not communicate with the tribe. Seems to me the feather is messing with the game. The other tribe mates are surely going to talk about the feather and will be trying to interpret what it means.

With the smirk on Sierra's face, I think Coach will be wondering what ALL she's told the others. Plus, Coach KNOWS Sierra wasn't the one lying before her torch got snuffed.

I thought it was mostly on Big Brother the jury wasn't allowed to talk. Whenever they've been shown at Ponderosa, the jury seemed to talk freely.

the jury talks amongst themselves but they arent allowed to communicate with the tribemates. Seems to me the feather is a form of communication. I could be wrong and it will be fun to watch.

Tyson was such a tool the last couple of weeks before he got voted out (especially the way he attacked Sierra). I think IRL he is probably not the tool he was on the show. He's back to cracking me up (especially about the part of the military offering him a job solving tree-mail clues).

I'm impressed with the lack of hostility at Bonanza especially by Tyson, good for him. It's made me think he's not as obnoxious as I once thought he was. I don't think Coach is very in tune to reality so, yes, he'll think the feathers are in honor of him in a good way...however, no one else will think that. It'll just insure they'll keep Coach around for the final 2, which is my Survivor nightmare.

I hope they get to keep the feathers. And I bet that Coach (the narcissist that he is) thinks that it a tribute to him.
