Mad at Taj and Stephen

[osgarth]

What a couple of backstabbing wusses. The only person I like now is J.T. I can't believe they sided with coach.

[NomadRon]

Agreed! The next four people I would love to see go are:

Coach
Tyson
Taj
Stephan.

To call them Wusses is being very kind! I would have said a lot worse!

I think you're both upset because you like Brendan (like I do). However, the tribe merged and Brendan didn't talk to Taj for THREE days (and it was his responsibility to approach Taj and Stephen to make them feel comfortable. They were on his tribe's turf). That's ridiculous.

Not to mention the fact that when he finally did speak to Taj, he blew off the fact that he ignored her during that time, and only came to her to tell her who he wanted to vote off. If you were playing this game and someone approached you like that, you'd have no reason to trust them either.

IMO, Brendan was pretty sloppy and cocky, and it backfired on him. I also have no idea why he felt the need to grandstand and announce that he had the idol but chose not to use it.

I like Brendan just as much as you do, but let's be realistic about this game- especially considering the fact that the castaways weren't able to see the little confessionals like we get to see at home. Brendan was ready to eliminate Jalapao altogether after the merge.

Imagine, if you will, that you are out there playing the game??? If you were out there and in the Final 9....who would you want sitting next to you in order to win??????? If it was me. I'd take Coach as well. I'd love to have him sitting next to me at the Final Tribal Council. I'd demolish him. He's hung himself by being such an ass and unlikeable. Its probably his strategy to get to the end. He wouldn't be the first one to do it. Jonny Fairplay thought if he was that annoying that it would get him to the end. Almost worked until the wonderful Lil put an end to it! I hate Coach as well, but won't it be sweet to see him at the finals with absolutely no votes cast for him???? On live TV??? I will laugh so hard when it happens or when Jeff has to ask him on live TV "So Coach how does it feel to not receive any votes from the jury ( or one, I can't see him getting anymore than that)?"
And if he doesn't get to the end, think about the look on his face when he does get slayed!! I'm sure he tastes that money right now. The power is going to his head as he thinks he is in control of this game. I love Survivor!!!

Taj and Stephen might actually be playing a better game now than they did before they ditched their "secret alliance".

They came in outnumbered four to six. After losing Joe they have half of the numbers of the other tribe. Normally, they'd get picked off one after another but they lucked out big time. The other tribe is essentially ripping itself in half while they're watching. Tyson and Coach want Sierra and Brendan gone. Debbie is pretty much going with Tyson and Coach and Erinn has made it clear she wouldn't mind aligning herself with the other tribe. That puts them at 4-5 and now with Brendan gone, they're equal at 4-4. Coach and Tyson want Sierra gone so that leaves the other tribe with two obvious options if they really want to get and keep the power.

1. Convince Sierra that her only means of staying out there any longer are to align herself with Taj, Stephan, JT (and probably Erinn). Not a hard sell. She'd do it in a heartbeat. Take out Coach, Tyson, and Debbie and then hope that Sierra and Erinn don't realign.

2. Vote with Coach, Tyson, and Debbie again and get rid of Sierra. That knocks it down to a clear 3-4 division after that. The underdogs can pick off the three of them and we'd end up with a final four of Taj, Stephan, JT, and Erinn.

I agree, this game has a lot of options going for it. Can't wait to see how they play out in the end!
I want you on my team Twilight

[Twilight]

Hahaha.

You've got it. Just let me lose fifty pounds so I can make a seven mile hike through the wilderness just in case.
