My strategy would be to smile and nod, work like a demon around camp, and figure out how to be a huge asset at challenges! Of course, I am such a non-threatening little old lady that I would coast along under the radar!

Not so, Tnt. You have to be something more than a non-threatening little old lady. Otherwise you'll just make the Geek in the tribe happy that he might not be the first one out.

Chy, I actually meant that as a joke for those here who have met me! But your comment would be valid if I really were!

I am liking Taj and Brendan...hope they are in the secret alliance. I would love to see a cross tribe alliance. That would be most fun.

Tnt, sorry if I offended you. I'm just having fun thinking about Sandy & Stephen's 1st impression of each other. The confessions we saw from them in the first few minutes.

Of course, you didn't offend me! I should have used a "tongue in cheek" emoticon - if there is such a thing! I hope to see Taj hang in there for a while although she should have had a better backstory for what her husband did! Surely he has had some other job in his life besides NFL player and sports analyst! However, maybe that would have come out anyway - like the family visit thingy - and then people would feel they had been deceived and betrayed. Definitely being between a rock and a hard place!

I read somewhere (maybe on one of the other threads) that Spencer recognized Taj right away since he was a fan of her musical group, so I'm sure it would have come out at some point. TNT. . .Lunch Thursday, right?

Tnt, Chris, Carolina in her exit interviews, maybe w/RNO, mentioned that. She said even though Spencer didn't want to be a typical Gay guy, but he is and he knows the SWV well to recognize Taj, ... I do believe that most of the Jalapao already know about her being a singer. Then she mentioned her husband Eddie (wasn't shown) some where, so when she talked about what her husband would have done in their camp, it gave the mates an in to ask her "What does your husband do? ... What's his last name? ..." That's why I feel Taj herself let the cat out.

BTW, if you are interested, there's more insider clips showing up at CBS site. There was only one through out the weekend. (The one Sandy was all proud of pulling Erinn's bra ...) Spencer was cared by the Medics for a slashed-open thumb tip. Ewww... Sandy is trying out her "mothering" skills, hehe. Sydney show us some chalky milky but feet-smelling stuff from a pea-pod-looking fruit they are using as food. (Jatoba it is). Erinn thinks Ben wants her to stay around and is coaching her... said he thinks he knows a lot, .... That's from Epi 1 though. Just evidence that she is aware of Coach's "know-it-all" trade.) One clip shows how the swimming suit came with the Tree mail. "Play hard or lose them all, ... " They did guess that would be RC+IC. Ha, they have Candy talking about winning over Jalapao and they will crumble. But Jal mates know they're bigger size-wise. Ah, my bad. We did also see the clip of Brendan talking about animal treks about the Sand Dune they were EXed. He said he won't want to be back there unless there's HII for him.

Every season we see a contestant that becomes obsessed with getting rid of someone because of a personality clash. It often comes back to bite them. On the other hand we also see a contestant that becomes obsessed with keeping someone because of a crush or because they have become close allies. This also often comes back to bite them. The best way is to make "friends" with everyone, make some allies, but be ready to sacrifice them if need be. Be ready to tolerate even the most obnoxious person if it will keep you in the game. Personal feelings do not belong. In a reality show, the only important person is yourself. You do what you have to in order to stay in the game. Might sound cold and harsh, but hey, a million bucks can ease the pain.

Granted that it isn't the same 24/7 situation, but almost everybody has had someone in their workplace that they were not fond of/found obnoxious. I always figured that getting along with others was part of the job - and NOT always my favorite part! For a million dollars I could make a pretty big effort!

I don't know if this is news or not but E is reporting that Survivor survives 2 more seasons and that CBS renews reality staple for two more editions through 2010, bringing its total to 20 seasons.

CBS picks up 'Survivor' for two more cycles 09:21 AM PT, Feb 26 2009 "Survivor" is living up to its name. CBS announced today that it had renewed the reality show for two more seasons -- its 19th and 20th editions (20th season, how is that possible?). And host Jeff Probst, who won an Emmy for his work on the show last fall, will continue his duties running challenges, Tribal Council and uttering the phrase, "The tribe has spoken." The renewals should not come as a surprise. Currently in its 17th installation, "Survivor" continues to win its Thursday 8 p.m. time period in all key demographics.

Has anyone else noticed how much Tyson looks like Dirk Knowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks except he is not 7 ft. tall.

I also noticed that Stephen looks like Bahlki from perfect strangers/Serge in Bev Hills Cop.

I can't help wondering if Coach is threatened by Sierra's brains and by her dogged determination to perform hard during challenges. Each week, he minimizes her contributions to other tribe mates, emphasizing that she's useless and weak. In sharp contrast to his words, she works harder than many competitors during physical challenges. She makes insightful statements, too, like the one she made last week when she asked if they all had to bring back a bucket of water or if just some of them did. Clearly, she understood that a fair amount of water was in the receptacle that would raise the flag . . . she was the only person who seemed to get that they may have needed just a bit more water. Coach seems to have picked up on her ability to think a few steps ahead. I sure have!

I love the idea of the cross tribe alliance. Only problem is who can you trust? Remember, a secret is only as good as the people you entrust it to, and if either Sierra or Stephen blab, it will be a disaster and Brendan and Taj will be gone in a flash. I think Brendan can trust Sierra, because I think she is smart enough to know a good thing and Ben is going to loom large to her every tribal council. So having even one ally with a motive to keep her is a plus. Not so sure about Stephen. I haven't seen him enough to know whether he is a good choice. In fact I can't even remember him. If he is a bit of an outcast in his tribe, he would probably be happy with an alliance just like Sierra. If he already has an alliance, it could be unfortunate.

I have no clue how such things happen, but would it be possible to have a thread devoted to just the links to Ponderosa - easy to find and click on?

Q: Candace had a lot of choice things to say about Coach. Give us your take on him. A: He never rubbed me the wrong way. We would sit down and have normal conversations but I think he was different towards the women. He was condescending to them. He wanted to get rid of Candace, Sierra and Erin quick. If he makes it to the merge, I don't think the other team will respond to his personality, but he is very deceptive. When he is around camp, a majority of the time he wasn't like that. He was usually very quiet until he was by himself or with only one of two other individuals. That's when he expressed his true colors. In a group, he is a different person. From a Jerry after boot interview, by C. Bell from people.com ********************** There! Coach has lost my last good thought for him. I think those attitude are farther than thought of wanting the most fittest to win the prize! I'm sorry, but these statements reported by Jerry, if they were true, are dawn right sexist!

I have been to the CBS site, but couldn't find how to get to Ponderosa clips. All I saw were cast videos! Sorry, but I am majorly technologically challenged - which is why I would LOVE a thread for these links!
