 Stephen's Big Move
I disagree...in some cases it makes no sense why Stephen would vote out Coach, since it is makes him look untrustworthy in the eyes of JT, who will most likely win the next immunity challenge and would want Stephen out of the game...
This could, however, be the biggest move of the game...think about this...
With Coach gone and the warrior alliance broken, the only threat to Stephen is JT winning immunity, because it would be impossible to vote JT off and Stephen could definitely go...
The women, knowing that if JT is in the finals he will most likely win it all, might align with Stephen in order to make the judges vote their way if one of those three can win immunity (Taj would probably take the victory in this one because I don't think anyone likes Erinn)...
If JT wins immunity (which is most likely) he can keep Stephen around knowing that he himself will have a vote from Coach no matter what, and votes from a handful of other jury members since he really didn't do anything to seriously anger anybody...
In reality Stephen's decision only helps him get to the final 3, and really only helps JT win the game [i]unless[i] he can convince the jury that he has played the [i]best[i] game of everyone remaining which, if you think about it, he has (of course most times the best player never wins). He was weak to start, but strategically has worked his way to the top and is really in control of the game at this point. I still think JT will stick with him, even after this, and I think the women will want him in order to ensure a chance in the final 3. In reality Stephen controls who will go to the final group and, maybe, who will win the million dollars.
We'll also see what Coach values more...Strength or Integrity...Stephen being able to outwit the remaining survivors makes him the strongest competitor, and yet JT remained true the alliance...I can't wait to hear Coach's question to the finalists!  |
