Between Erinn and Coach I would remember who has won the II and vote them out!!! Erinn hasn't won it, has she?

I am always surprised who shows up as a loved one! I would have expected JT and Erinn to have GF and BF there. A brother for Stephen seemed right, and I had my very first - and probably last - moment of feeling for Coach when his "loved one" was his assistant coach.

A friend of mine applied for the last Mole, and I was her second choice - after her DH, of course - as her visitor! While I don't have any family closer than a second cousin, I am blessed to have tons of close friends -

It just seemed a sad statement about his life when Coach's loved one was an associate rather than a family member or old friend.

Still when you think about it, how could you ever be close with a person who lived in such fantasy? People like that figure no one would like them if they were just their real self. Of course just the opposite is true.

I am finally realizing what JP has said all along. Coach is pure tv gold!!! You just couldnt write it any better!

'they call me dragonslayer'
gold.

no loved one, assist coach.

double gold.

watching him do karate moves to crack his back with his assist out in the wild

platnium!

Having seen Stephen come from behind to win immunity, I have to say, I was pretty impressed with his logic. Can't stay in the physical competition, but dynamic in the mental competition.

I haven't enjoyed 2 players this much since Ethan and Lex.

Here was their chance to get rid of coach, and they vote out a women! she has never won immunity and jt surely could beat her out in any type of physical or longevity immunity.

they don't deserve to win w/ that stupid move.

Didn't she win immunity a week or two ago? As much as I dislike Coach, I think keeping him was the best move. Debbie proved she would turn on a dime. They can now tell Coach that Debbie was working to vote him out and that is why the blindsided her without telling him about it. I think they also know his entire "loyalty" stuff means he will remain true to JT and Stephen, so that's why they'd want to keep him. Also, the jury thinks Coach is a joke, so he may not get those jury votes.

Actually, Debbie did win Immunity in Episode 10, when the IC was the shuffleboard challenge; and Tyson got voted out. IIRC, Tyson was all smug and saying if he couldn't win IC, he was glad Debbie could.

Watching, VidMic, Color, Nero and everyone else, thanks so much for the great spoiling. I haven't had a chance to watch yet. But so happy to know Debbie is gone.

I wasn't that impressed with Debbie's "niceness" but they all seemed to think she was a threat to bring to finals .. too nice .. Coach would be better for that, but they are tired of him..still it isn't that many days to go.

I loved watching Taj and her husband together.

It really was the best thing that they went to Exile, otherwise he might have been psstered as a well known person.

Taj's husband is Eddie George, a former NFL football player.

Best line of the night goes to Coach: "They call me the dragon slayer."

I was thinking that it really wasn't that much of a sacrifice since she got to be alone (with camera crew) with her DH. A sacrifice would have been if she would have had to go to Exile alone.
I have the feeling she might have still gone but for them to call this the ultimate sacrifice is a bit much.

Eddie played football for Ohio State and won the Heisman Trophy in 1995 too.

I think that was JT's sister, not his mom.

I wish the choice were that the others could get their loved ones ONLY if she went to exile ALONE!!!

Eddie was a TN Titan for a number of years too!

The "ultimate sacrifice" label came from Coach at TC referring to Taj being away from her very young son -

Tntitanfan, there may be reasons why a BF/GF didn't show. It could be that the family member (sister or father) was a second choice. Not everyone can drop what they are doing and fly to Brazil on short notice. Not everyone already has a valid passport ready for international travel. And depending on where they are going, there are various inoculations that are required. Even if everyone was on "standby" it's possible not everyone could take time off from their jobs or whatever to visit Survivor.

I think Debbie got voted out because:

1. She proved she's not very loyal.

2. The offer she made to JT/Stephen was useless.

3. She's perceived as being "nice" and therefore if she made it to the end she could win with the jury.

And until last night, she was the only one really supporting "coach." So now that she's gone, the others will either turn on him quickly, or else realize no one on the jury likes him (except for Debbie) and will hang on to him to the end. Which is a stoopid thing to do, IMNSHO.

Pamy, I think the sacrifice is that the living conditions on EI are very primitive, more so than back at camp. No bed (such as there is at camp), no shelter (which sucks when it rains, as when Erin was there), minimal food, no fire (unless you can start it yourself). It could've been a really miserable location albeit with your loved one.

Then again, you can bet the cameras were looking the other way if those two did any boot knockin'! :-)

I agree Costacat plus once he left, she had to spend the rest of the time there alone but I totally would have done it too. I don't think the rest of the players would have let her sacricife herself for them if the choice was going to exile alone so they could have their loved ones. I am sure they would have told her no way. They really rallied around her to give her money so she could get that call.

I agree that Coach was talking about Taj sacrificing time away from her young son. When he said that I had a feeling he was going to suggest they get rid of her next.

Debbie looked really stupid saying she would give up the immunity if it were her, Stephen and JT. Come on, lady, do you really expect them to believe that? I'm glad she is gone.

Coach makes me laugh so I am glad he is still there but I don't want him to win.

They are still showing Coach with the halo of shining clouds around him, which I see as a portent. I predict he will win.
Glad Debbie is gone, she was such a non-entity, I didn't even know who she was until the last couple of weeks. And to turn traitor this late in the game? Suicide.

What is funny is that Brendon had decided he would back JT all the way to the end because he liked and respected him and didn't need the money himself. And he probably would. He would have been a powerful ally for JT if he had just realized. But he never went as far as to tell him that, just that he wanted to be an ally and would be loyal. So what did they do? Turn around that very week and vote him off.

Then Debbie tells them she would give the idol to them if she won it in final three. Did anyone notice that she specifically said she would give it to JT. They decided to vote her off even though Stephen said he believed she would really do it. Maybe he was afraid of which one she would give it to if the time ever came.

Lesson: Don't promise JT or Stephen anything or you are toast.
