FINALLY! Got my 10 votes for Sierra submitted. Like others before said, it warn't easy, pain in the arse. Tonite I had to open my first G-mail account and re-register @ CBS just to get there.

But, given the bullying & headgames that young woman was subjected to by Coach & Tyson, and even Debbie, I figure it was worth the time and effort. Sierra on DAY1 showed me that she was a TeamPlayer. Even though feeling lousy she started setting up shelter all by herself instead of moaning about how she felt or scratching around for the 1st II.

One thing I saw in the Ponderosa video, where Tyson found her a pet baby turtle, he thrust it in his closed hand at Sierra. Her instinctive reaction was to cringe back and say something like "Please, don't hurt me!" So I don't think it was all editing or her just talking in interviews later, that she was treated poorly.

---
WRT CBS allowing us to use former accts. Last night I kept trying to use my old acct, but it rejected saying my old username was 2 characters longer than allowed. WOULD keep allowing me to change my password (twice) but was not about to tell the old username. Trying to start a new acct, it bounced because it recognized cookies and said it already had an acct with my email address.

Tonight, after setting up the new Gmail, while trying to re-register, it kept rejecting my favorite usernames - duh that was probably me TOO in the past. Given that Sprint is paying out this $100k prize and how often people change their phone/cell numbers these days, I bet this is a way to get people to cough up a recent phone number while hoping they mark the box saying they can be solicited. (Personally, I gave them my old work number which was closed when I retired.)

I would LOVE to see the looks on Coach & Tyson & Debbie's faces if Sierra wins the Fan Fav!!!

Coach reminds me of a cult leader, the way he talks, and thinks he is a prophet of some kind, like the way he walked with the cane he made. His talk of prophecy and his delusions of being a dragaon slayer says alot of his reality with the real world.

Good point Chit! I hadn't considered that but that cult leader business really fits IMO.

That's just what I was coming here to say. I just finished watching Numb3rs season finale. They had a Charles Manson type cult leader on and his manner of speaking was just like Coach's. It was creepy.

For those of us that can't watch via CBS, here's the Ponderosa Youtubes:

Also, other people in the various threads have listed other Youtubes that were interesting. Just parking the links here again in case someone might have missed them:

Well, for the continuity and all, here's the exit interview. When I watched the doc on Ponderosa weighing him, I believe she said he started at 180-lbs & lost 31-lbs, "You know, in mid-October I was 205 pounds and in mid-December I was 149 pounds coming out of the game." ... but whatever:

I must be a bad person because I just can't dredge up an ounce of sympathy for Coach. He brought everything on himself.

From the above interview:

But they made the move and it was cowardly as far as the game that I was trying to play -- taking the strongest to the end -- but it was obviously a good strategic move.

Gee, I wonder why everyone out there didn't agree that Coach and Tyson were the two strongest players and deserved to be the final two? It seems to me that almost everyone out there was stronger than Coach, especially after this week's episode where he is suddenly claiming asthma, a bad back, etc., etc.

Physically, I'd put Brendan and JT ahead of Coach and Tyson any day!

If you don't win, you're not the strongest. Duh!

Gah! I am so late in responding here!!

All I have to say is.....YAAAAAY!

Coach is done for! WOOO HOOOOO!!! I think my sister and I gave each other a high five when Jeff read the final vote. I was like jumping up and down!!

I was seriously LMAO when I was listening to Coach go on and on at tribal council. It reminded me of all the ways he is made fun of on the blogs. That man is just something else and I for one am SO PUMPED that I don't have to watch him get to the final two.

*fist pump*

Oh and I wonder what will happen between Stephen and JT, now that Stephen voted differently. JT is a good guy and all, but I think he has been so used to things going his way and them calling all the shots, I am interested to see how he will react to Stephen voting differently.

*runs off to read Jeff's blog*

Actually it was my impression that JT voted differently so that he wouldn't lose Coach's jury vote! Remember he said it was a "security vote?"

I just finished watching this and I have only one thing to say: GOOD RIDDANCE!

Oh yeah, one more thing. Dude, Benjamin Wade, you ain't all that. You ain't nothing in fact. Good bye!
