Merge happened; new tribe name Forza (Portuguese name for Strength). Tyson won individual immunity. Joe asked to stay after immunity challenge to have medical team look at his knee. Taj isn't sure if her alliance with Brendan and Sierra is still good, but Brendan tells the camera he is lying low for now. That's about all I can remember for right now. Sorry, guys!

I only switched over to Survivor after The Office was over, so I'm just picking up the details.

I wonder if Joe would have ever asked for medical assistance if Jeff hadn't... (Jeff saw his leg at the challenge. Joe kept telling everyone he was fine and that his leg was getting better.) Looks like the infection is way bad and so far Joe has not come back. But they have not told us that he is gone. But looks that way.

10 to and they have not started TC yet. My guess is Joe is gone due to medical and no one else will leave tonight.

Joe cannot continue. Risk too serious. He did not want to leave...

Feel bad for Joe. Amazing that people can die so quickly. Just think, less than 100 years ago there was no such thing as penicillin.

interesting because as I said in another thread, I think this scenario came up earlier where someone had to be removed for illness or injury and Jeff told the survivors they would still go to TC and someone would be voted out...

They just can't keep injuries clean when on Survivor.

Survivor Tocantins: The Impotent Immunity Recap April 9 Written by honeySC Thursday, 09 April 2009 17:12 It has been all about the team for Coach, also known as Benjamin. He refocuses himself and comes to the conclusion that it is all about him, but his task is to get along with the tribe. Erinn feels that his meditating in the water is good for him, for she likes the new coach. The others in the tribe tell him that he is a totally different person now. Brendan says that he goes into the water and has a hair fixing ritual. Joe is concerned that his leg is swollen from the knee down. Taj is afraid that it is seriously injured. JT worries that Jalapao is going into the merge way down and feels that the next challenge is going to be most important. Tree mail comes and along with it is a circle intercrossed. They think that it has to do with spinning and feel that the reward may be a feast away from camp. Both tribes head to the clearing for the challenge and spy a feast set with fruit, nuts, and candy, glasses and flatware. A note accompanies it that announces that the two tribes have merged. They will live at the Timbira camp and their personal effects and reward items will be sent to their camp. They strip their buffs and trade them for new unified buffs. Timbira wishes that they could have taken them down a bit, and Coach announces that he is not only a coach, but is a symphony conductor and he flies back and forth between jobs. They discuss their new name and think that they are going with Forzza, which means strength in Portuguese. One tribemate comments that it took them days to learn to pronounce Jalapao and the group laughs. Joining together they troop back to the Timbira camp. Jalapao is surprised at the dog cave type shelter and the group decides to rebuild the shelter to accomodate them. Benjamin goes fishing with JT and decides that they are both warriors, kindred spirits who will work well together. JT privately feels that this is perfect. JT tells Coach that he feels that Taj does not have an idol. Coach suggests that everything they say should be in confidence and JT tells him that these people hate each other so he tries to keep the pot stirred. Others decide that Timbira is actually a fractured tribe and that if they get Brendan out they may find it easy going. the rest of the story is here: http://www.tvgrapevine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3461:survivor-tocantins-the-impotent-immunity-recap-april-9&catid=75:survivor-tocantins

Coach didn't look at all happy when they were under the umbrella with others talking about Tyson's win. I think Coach was upset that Tyson didn't give him the credit for it because we all know that the only reason Tyson won is because Coach willed it to be so.
And yes, Coach, next week we find out who the "chosen one" is and may it please be Brendan! And can I just add that as egotistical as Tyson is, there's something about him that just cracks me up!

Kooklie, a staph infection can spread in the blink of an eye. And yeah, cuz they are just so dirty out wherever they are, there's no way to keep an open wound clean. Once an infection gets into the bloodstream, the risk is so much higher it's scary (IV antibiotics are required). I had a staph infection (thumb) and had streaks up my arm within 24 hours (midway up my arm from the tip of my thumb). My doc sent me directly to the hospital, do not pass go (and do not stop at your house on the way to pick up a toothbrush!). Scary!

As someone who's mother is fighting a staph infection, first site of that leg tonight and I knew he was not going to last the episode. That infection was pretty extensive! I hope they were able to get it under control easily, and without much pain. I can't wait to see the upheavel at camp when the "plan" gets leaked to the others. No way the plan to get rid of Brandon or Sierra is going to stay quiet.

Did everyone else hear Coach give us permission to call him anything we wanted? Of course, the Mods can't let us do so! And, Mods, please notice that I said "can't," not "won't." We have rules here that protect even the likes of Coach. There are not any similar rules in my LR, however, so Coach was christened with several colorful new nicknames! Kappy - I am so glad you saw Coach signaling Tyson with his eyes how to win the challenge. It was so subtle I was afraid many others would miss it! I thought JT was pretty grounded until this epi. Taj needs to talk to his head! Is there a reason why Stephen and snake both begin with the same letter? Just sayin'!

I like Coach, he has been my favourite from the beginning. Reasons: 1. He is a soccer coach as is my DH 2. He is a symphony conductor and is well educated 3. I like his meditation routine to calm himself. 4. You know what they say about men with big noses. I can't think of any reasons to call anyone bad names.

About Joe's infection, would it have gotten that bad if they had lanced it earlier and used antibiotic, both topically and intraveniously? Just wondering,
