By the way, the frownie face on the thread is to reflect the losers, being.. losers on the jury, not that it isn't cool for us to be able to see the footage.. that rates a

The video feed says: "The video you have requested is not available in your geographic region. Click below to watch more videos" Funny they let Canadians watch the Ponderosa feeds last year

Peapod... Brenden eats a bunch of stuff in the car on the ride to Ponderosa. He says this is the way the game should go, blindside after blindside after blindside. Said you should be lying the whole game. There is a fellow riding with Brenden, who Brenden says is Dr. Jeff and he is there just to make sure everything is okay, mentally. Brenden says he takes it as a compliment that they wanted him out first and that he can't wait to hang out with all of them. He thought maybe Ponderosa would be like a five-star hotel but it's basically a campground with temporary huts. Then Dr. David checks him out physically. There is food aplenty at Ponderosa and he says it's weird to eat with a fork again. Brenden eats and eats and eats...and talks about keeping perspective about leaving the world you know and entering a whole new world, that it's like a Monopoly game and each player is just a pawn. He likes the idea of going to tribal and figuring out who's looking good, who's not, and what plays are coming. He says he's only sleeping about six hours a night, but it's good rest. Nice to have a bed. His hips feel better. He likes the mirror and little luxuries, but says it's by no means luxurious. But sitting on a toilet and having toilet paper was amazing. He most missed brushing and flossing his teeth and says it's delicious to do so again. Also says he's never had a beard before in his life. They have a place with a little electricity and and old funky TV that they have to hit every once in a while and it's so great. He says in the game, everything is a fight, a fight for food, a fight for everything...but at Ponderosa, there's lots of food and you're fighting to get away from it. (as he eats and eats and eats. lol) He got treemail that says: Welcome to Ponderosa. Sign in where you swing. Says it's nice to get treemail because in the game, treemail was always such a treat. He finds a board in the "Hammock Room" that has magnetic letters that say "The Jury" at the top and he finds the letters to spell his name, saying he'd like to put his name last, not first. Says he felt kind of like Vanna White putting the letters on the board. Then he says, "Tonight is Tribal Council and my first night on the jury" as he gets ready to go. There's a kitty cat that he tries to pet. He says that some people were lying to him, so it will be interesting to see who people really are. He carries a bottle of beer on his hike to head to TC and says it's much nicer than carrying a torch. He says he's excited to see what it's going to be like to sit on the other side and watch and he hopes Jeff does a good TC. He says it will be fun to have someone else come to Ponderosa as he's been feeling kind of like an only child. He says anytime you try to predict something (like who might be coming to Ponderosa next) you just end up looking stupid so he's not going to try to guess who's coming next. He gets into a truck and is driven to TC, saying this is the most exciting thing he's done in two days. Then they show him walking into TC, with Jeff introducing him as the first member of the jury. He smiles, and sits down on the jury seats.

If at all possible would someone please transcribe the Ponderosa videos for those of us who can't see them? Thanks (I wonder why we could see them last year but this year they're blocked)

I'll say AGAIN what a class act Brendon is! He was most gracious and welcoming to Tyson who was a BIG part of his blindside! Let's see how Tyson acts when one of the folks who helped axe him arrives! I am betting against gracious and welcoming!

I doubt Tyson will fix an omelette and cut up fruit for anyone who blindsided him either.

Lyn... Tyson is voted out. He says: That was a shock, dude. I was, like, dude, I've got this game wrapped up since Brenden's gone. Brenden: Once I was out of the game, he thought he had the game underneath his big thumb. Tyson is shown greeting the production people. Tyson voice-over: I had a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C. I had it all lined up, and I had what order everybody was going, who was voting for who, and I think that's probably where I lost control was because I was the one doing the controlling and nobody likes the "Puppet Master". Tyson gets in the truck, and they head down the bumpy road. He is sitting in the back seat, with the fellow Brenden said was the "Mental Doctor". Tyson says: Kudos to everybody there, I mean, total blindside. They got me good. Brenden is shown smiling widely, saying: He got blindsided worse than I did, man. Tyson is shown in the back seat, munching from a bag of chips, and says: I probably got what I deserved. Tyson voice-over: The hardest part about being on the jury is that you won't get the million dollars yourself. Brenden: I think he really wanted to win. I think he thought he was going to win but this game is so far out of anybody's control that he takes it, I think, the right way. Tyson is now eating an apple in the back seat. He says to the doctor: I'm fine, dude. I realize it's just a game. I had fun here. Tyson starts walking up the path toward Ponderosa, kicking an open umbrella that is lying on the path on the way. He says: I was pretty comfortable in my spot and I guess when you get comfortable you should expect the **** to hit the fan. Brenden: When you get, kind of, that mentality, kind of that cruise-control feeling, BOOM (he slaps his hands together) You're done. Tyson goes into the Medical Doctor's tent and meets Dr. Lucy, says he's anxious to see how much weight he's lost. She weighs him and he's lost between twelve and fourteen pounds. The doctor finishes the check-up and he heads toward the bridge. Brenden: Being the first at Ponderosa, I kind of feel like the host. Tyson sees Brenden across the bridge, and starts running toward him, yelling: What's up, dude?? Brenden: Welcome to Ponderosa. All are welcome, but blindsiders get the best cabins. Brenden and Tyson embrace and laugh. Tyson says: Dude, JT and Stephen gave us their word. JT was, like, I promise, I promise. Brenden: They gave me their word, too. Tyson: Really? Brenden: It's a game. Tyson: That's true, that's true. Dude, and I tried to get Coach to vote him off. He's like, I believe JT, he gave me his word.... Brenden: I looked into his eyes.... Tyson: Yeah, yeah. Same thing. I was like, okay, dude, you control him, I'll control the others, we're good. Tyson voice-over: When I saw Brenden, I wasn't for sure because we were kind of, like, both out to get eachother. But when I crossed the bridge, it was, like, nothing but love and friendship, dude. Brotherhood. We're in this together. We both got blindsided and there's nothing we can do but love eachother. They laugh as they walk together toward the food tent, and Tyson puts his arm over Brenden's shoulder. Brenden shows Tyson the food set up and they both load up their plates and sit down to eat. Brenden says it's good to have someone else here and Tyson says he's exited to see what happens next, dude. They talk and laugh and eat. Tyson says: Now I'm gonna pray for rain every day, dude. I hope it rains on them like nobody's business. They continue eating and talking. Brenden: As soon as you told me you wanted to go to finals with me, I knew you were trying to get rid of me. Tyson: You were trying to get rid of me, too, dude. They both laugh, and Brenden looks at the camera as he grabs a roll of paper towels (luxury!) and says: This is the real **** that happens. Ponderosa's where the real truth comes out. Tyson: The Jalapao tribe, dude. Brenden: I know. We were gonna stick to our numbers... Tyson: I know. Brenden: We should have stuck to our plan. Tyson: I know. What was their plan?? Tyson voice-over: What am I gonna do, dude? My life still goes on. I'm still pretty kick-ass. I wouldn't change who I am. Brenden says, with a big broad smile as he points toward Tyson: It's good to have this dude around camp. They walk around camp, and Brenden tells Tyson: Blindsided dudes get the big tents. We need more room to handle ourselves. Tyson: That's true. Tyson voice over: Ponderosa will be a little bit different from the game. But I wouldn't say it's Five Star. I mean, we're in tents and there's still sand everywhere. He gets a tooth brush and tooth paste and says it will be the first time he's brushed his teeth in twenty seven days. He rummages thru his bag. Finds some Speedo type shorts, little ones, and seems happy. Says he'll wear them all day tomorrow. He also finds a loofa that he looks forward to using. He counts up his T-shirts. Six of them. Tyson: I got a bad-ass beard. Lost a little bit of weight, which I needed to do, anyways, and now, here I am at Ponderosa living the dream....

I'm not sure Tyson got blindsided worse than Brendon. Brendon left with the II in his pocket.
