If Tyson somehow doesn't win Immunity next week, they would all be fools not to vote him out when they have a chance. Fools.

Well that is toolish too.. for Brendan to take the real idol and not slip it to Sierra.. great friend, huh? NOT. Yes, Brendan it does matter.. she could be safe another week and things change, or suddenly there could be one of those competitions she could win (remember Heidi winning one), Maybe he wants a souvenier or something to sell on eBay.

I'm just very disappointed in Taj. I expected Stephen be wishy-washy, but not Taj. I think they made a big mistake.

I think voting out Brendan was the right play for Stephen and JT. Brendan is the kind of guy you want on the jury -- a strong competitor who won't hold a grudge and would appreciate good gameplay. Coach is the opposite -- the kind of person you want next to you in the end. Also, Stephen and JT probably have more control within a Taj/Stephen/JT/Erinn alliance than a Sierra/Brendan/Taj/Stephen/JT alliance. I think it was the wrong play for Taj but she probably didn't have much say in the decision. And in her voting clip, she says she can't trust Brendan, so I can understand if Brendan didn't make it clear that the Exile Alliance was still on right after the merge.

Wow, he's the happiest Survivor on a jury, ever. Hard to watch him brush his teeth and leave the water running.. when clearly someone had to haul that water in. Certainly not a plush camp this year.

Last night's vote was the game-changer. The only reasoning I can think of why they didn't vote out Coach is because he is so disliked, they know he can't win jury votes... or he isn't a threat because he can't win challenges.

Hang in there, everyone. I just know we will see Coach, Tyson or both blindsided soon. I think it was a smart move for JT and Stephen. They can now gather in Sierra and Erin, and start taking out the dragonslayer and his assistant. But, yes, Tyson should go first if he doesn't win immunity. Coach is not really a great competitor in the immunity challenges.

Brendan did make a major mistake - he should have reaffirmed his Exile alliance from the beginning of the merge and he just kind of let that fall to the wayside. I think it would have been a different tribal council if he had done that. Of course he's a happy boy - he's rich, he really was on Survivor for the experience and not hte money. He is a likeable guy and was a pleasure to watch...and he cleans up nicely. By the way, he didn't leave the water running when he brushed his teeth...it clearly shows him turning it off after he wet his toothbrush. I think when you see the water running in the next shot it was when he was finishing up and rinsing.

Although we didn't see the reason. I think Stephen was the one that wanted to go with Coach's side over Brendan. The minute JT told Stephen that Brendan wanted to take him (JT) to the end it happened. Stephen's face had that "What about me?" look. I think Stephen was worried about Brendan and JT bonding and leaving him out. Stephen likes that he is the connection between JT and Taj. Stephen wants to be in control of that alliance. Brendan might have taken some control away from Stephen.

I think you are right, Lake_gal. Plus, Stephen knows Brendan had and hii. I think Stephen is playing a smart game.

Just watched the Ponderosa clips. Brendan really seems like a great sport! I loved the big smile and wave when he was seated on the jury. The kitty at Ponderosa looks just like my Saki.

Brendan is adorable and continues to be the class act I thought him to be. I don't think he would be a lot different if he didn't have all that money. He looks high on life and living it.

Yeah when people were all talking about how adorable JT is and how they would hate to vote him out.. I thought in the back of each mind would be the thought. "JT must go NOW". But not yet..

Even though I know that the players in this game are deceitful, I was honestly surprised Taj betrayed Brendan. I like her and thought she had such a good idea bringing the four together, and I really thought they would actually stay together and push each other to the finals. I was so wrong. No one prevented her from going up to Brendan and speaking to him when the tribes merged. I don't even know who to root for any longer, betraying your own alliance so early will certainly get Taj, Stephen and JT eliminated soon. I really hope the idol is put back in play and Sierra finds it and saves herself, or better yet wins that, whatever it's called, lol, I got so annoyed at this episode. Oh well, it's only a game right. Thanks for the above clips

I think that Taj realized that in an alliance of four she would be number four. She should try to be in an alliance of two.

I also couldn't understand why Taj didn't make the initial contact with the Timbira members of the Exile Alliance. Why should it have been Brendon's responsibility to initiate contact? ALTHOUGH I think had he done so, the vote last night would have gone differently. Giving Taj several days to stew and get paranoid while Stephen whispers in her ear was a big mistake!

OK, I am happy!! I want either Coach or Tyson to win. I like them both because the are not just more "pretty faces." I see real character there. I can easily see Tyson in a movie about Viking warriors. And Coach could play a Roman centurion. Lie, cheat, smirk---that's how to win in this game.

I guess we are not privy to everything. Jeff loves big egos and the result is, that is what is shown. While I don't like the participants in next weeks preview the show is to outlast not who loves me. I can only hope for one of the big egos to be blindsided and the net to explode with glee.

Tyson and Coach have plenty of character, I just find a lot of it to be unpleasant character. There was no reason at all for them to treat/talk about Sierra the way they are doing, that's just pure nastiness. It has nothing at all to do with strategy/gameplay.

Maybe Brendan really is such a nice guy that he would work to help JT win, but I have a hard time fully accepting that and I think JT did too. Also Brendan is so much better liked than Coach, you probably wouldn't want to go against Brendan in the finals--and, since JT is seemingly so well liked, he's probably not going to make the finals either. But I think that Stephen was the one to sway JT and Taj to vote Brendan out. I think Stephen is one smart cookie even though I too like JT best and hope JT does manage to pull off the win.

Sierra is so pretty and so unimpressed with Tyson and Coach. Case closed. Guess they have to settle for Debbie who seems to be basking in the male attention.

I wonder if we saw foreshadowing and Brendan will help JT win. Not by taking him to final 2 but by persuading the jury.

Two different exit interviews: My favorite interviewing place, RealityTVWorld: Exclusive: Brendan Synnott talks about his time on 'Survivor: Tocantins' http://tinyurl.com/c6csul Here's another, at EW.com, I'm still waiting for it to load: 'Survivor Talk': Blindsided Brendan speaks! http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/04/survivor-talk-b.html

Does anyone really believe that Coach plans to take JT much further or that he really wants 4 strong "warriors" at the end? Bull crappy! JT will be next on the block - mark my words. And if these people keep following Coach, then they're all morons who deserve to be plucked off, one by one.
