From Bisc's link a few posts up:

Coach: '"I said, "Keep the tribe strong, we don't need for the two biggest egos in the tribe" -- who'd have thought I wouldn't have the biggest ego in the tribe -- but I said, "We don't need the two biggest egos in the tribe to sit there and war against each other, you've gonna lose." '

lololol!!!

Getting rid of Rob sounds like it at least makes the season a little more interesting. The villans are now on a losing streak and the teams hopefully will merge with even numbers so one team doesn't pick the other one off. I want to see more power moves and switching of alliances. That will make for interesting THursday nights!

I really enjoyed that interview with Coach, he may be nutty and eccentric, but he's more self aware now than half the people out there. I acutally enjoyed him this time.

I will definitely go for Rob as fan fav! I honestly didn't like him in the past, but this time around it was great to see how he's matured and mellowed. Sure, there's still some testosterone & manly arrogance, but he was stepping up to be a leader this time. Working to keep his team functional. If Tyson & Coach had any lick of brain function, & following Rob's strategies, this would be a whole different ballgame.

I completely ditto Biscotti's comments. Well stated.

Actually, I think Russell doesn't realize that he's being used.


I understand what you're saying, but I just don't see it. Parvati and Russell were joking about the other tribe thinking there's an all women's alliance, but who does that serve? Not Parvati. She's not paying attention to what is happening within her own tribe and what will happen after the merge, she's just going along with whatever Russell says. Had she thought about it, she may have tried harder to keep Coach, rather than let the other team think there is an all women's alliance, bc them thinking that puts a huge target on her back, not Russell's.

I agree Happy, I think "pouting" is up for interpretation, it's more likely Rob would be thinking of his next move and, eh, so what if he was. Did Coach say this? Wouldn't he be upset that Rob called him a little man?

I don't think it's fair that how and what everyone did in their season is known, except for Russell. They should have left him for another all star show after his season aired; being on this season gives him an unfair advantage.

Did anyone ask Coach what was the significance of the numbers which he placed on every voting card?

Wow, Bonbon, I've watched every episode, but hadn't really caught to that detail; very observant of you. I'll be interested to learn what Coach meant by those numbers.

I thought it was the place the person he voted for would get...ie 11th person voted out. 10, 9, etc. I think his # gets lower each week

Back to the "pouting" by Rob. I must confessed that it was my word. What Coach said was that after Tyson was voted out, Rob laid in the shelter all next day and would not talk to anyone. At my house that would be pouting, but I see it is open to question.

Pamy... I don't know... He started out with Randy and put a "4" and said "The only important thing on this piece of paper is this number right here" 4 ... and then I think the numbers were scattered???

Somewhere (on this board or on a link from this board) I saw where he was substituting numbers to spell out 'Dragonslayer' but only got as far as 'drag.'

Coach reminds me of Michael Scott, the character from "The Office." They both seem to think very highly of themselves (thinking they are so witty, smart, charming, etc., but they're not), seem to have a hard time connecting with people, and tell exaggerated or untrue stories. Yet at the same time, we can't help but notice self-doubt and a real lack of confidence peeking through their cheesy facades.

I'm not a Coach fan. But I sort of feel sorry for him.

Good analogy Sally. It's difficult for me not to pity someone who craves the respect of others so much. Coach reminds me of a little boy that has few friends so he tells stories to be liked.

I wonder if Coach realizes that Russell did not vote for him. He voted for Courtney to go. Do the other members of his alliance realize that he did not vote for Coach to go? And was that because he had given his word to Coach that he would never write his name down?

Or was it because he knows Coach is on the jury and he can honestly say at final counsel than he did not vote against him? That could go a long way with Coach. He actually argued for Courtney to go before Coach.

There was lots of discussion/speculation about that IIRC. Worth going back to read the discussions because it was interesting back&forth.

Still,

1) nobody knew the Coach would be on the jury at the time they voted. It was only when Jeff said
'The X# person voted out of Survivor and the 1st member of the jury' that it was known.

2) Russell made a point of marking his Courtney vote with "Hatz" mark so that everyone knew his vote was for her. He likely knew that Parv/Dan/Sandra/Courtney votes were already enough to send the Dragon slayer out with the tail whipping between his legs.

Maybe it was in case anyone might have found some unknown Immunity Idol? I personally couldn't decide for myself what that's all about, maybe we will see more in the next episode. Hope so!

ETA: I do read the Spoiler Section, so some discussions I read might have come from there too. What can I say? I'm a Survivor Junkie.

"Parv/Dan/Sandra/Courtney votes were already enough to send the Dragon slayer out with the tail whipping between his legs. "

Hey, maybe that was to further push the idea, the Heroes came up with all on their own, that the "Villain Womens Alliance" is running the show? Remember J.T. had said to Russell "hang in there", and now Russell is the only male left on their team.

Russell could have been hedging his bet just in case Coach was on the jury. But would the Heros have any way of knowing who voted for who?

I was really pleased to see a change in the voiceover wording (the bit at the beginning with Jeff) for Russell this last episode. Although I despise the man, I don't mind admitting his tactics are getting him far in the game, but it really irritates me when the voiceover declares it was all amazing strategy. This time it pointed out his bullying and intimidation, and that his ego was making him vulnerable. I don't know if Jeff is suddenly over his hero worship but it cheered me up.

Yah, that's a problem I keep bumping up against with my theories. Maybe when Parv/Russell start congratulating themselves in this next episode, maybe then we will get some answers. Until then, I am bamboozled!

Something about Russell getting his way through "bullying and intimidation," and something about his ego getting in the way of his gameplay resulting in him getting rid of Rob. Can't remember the wording now but it was how a lot of us here had talked about Russell. Almost like the producers had finally taken notice of some of the feedback!

Russell does not know whether or not he won his season, but he did sit through the final questioning session and he has to know from the questions how some of the people felt about how he played the game. It might have made him a little more cautious about some of his gameplay. For example, he has not told anyone that he is a multimillion business owner.

As to getting rid of Rob. If he gets to the merge without Rob and his strongest allies, which were Tyson and Coach, how can that hurt him

I don't get the hate for Russell about the bullying and intimidation. That was basically Rob's whole gameplay his first season and everyone seems to love him.

I like Russell better this season than last season. I think it's because he stated beforehand exactly what he planned to do to win the game, and he's been lining up his "victims" one by one and picking them off. I find him funny, whereas last season I found him a little offensive/chauvinistic.

"bullying and intimidation" ...hum... for me that would have been Rob...advising everyone on his tribe that if they found the III, they were "marked"...like in the ganster movies...

Russell tells everyone...play for yourself...because that's what I'm going to do...

Just my view...
