Spineless Stephen

[Rjb]

Thanks you spineless loser for voting out the only one left in the game that was worth watching.
I definitely wont be watching even another second of the show this season now.

I agree. Steve is spineless. Not to mention breaking his pack with J.T. about who would get voted off! Can't trust him.
I never liked Coach very much... but after Erinn (who I can't stand anyway) lit into him... I started to like him a little more. But Steve, yuk... I hope he gets voted off next.. even before the bimbo Erinn.

He is a big story telling blowhard. Sure he brought some drama to the show. But so what. He is a legend in his own mind. I'm glad the tosser is gone! Stephen isn't spineless, he made a decision on his own. Just because JT decided on voting for Erin doesn't mean Stephen can't vote the way he wishes.

Stephen says
"I know JT does not want to break his word with Coach, but I do not know what I will do..."
He let his buddy off the hook
Coach HAD to go
He annoyed me!!! Imagine if he had won immunity into the final 3/2, I woulda had to PUKE at watching him give his end game speech
THANK YOU STEPHEN for doing what Brendan should have done 6 episodes ago!

Dumb gameplay move tonight. If they were smart they would keep Coach around. From Stephen's point of view, by keeping Coach around until the final three (taking into consideration that Tajal gets voted off), he guarntees himself the win. All he has to do is convince the final immunity holder to keep him around. If it's JT, he goes to the final vote as the underdog. If it's Coach, it's a slam-dunk! The most hated man in history could go up against Coach in the final vote and win because the voters disdain for Coach.

Glad to see Coach's plan blow up in his face, but they should have waited until the final to do so.

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!

You are possibly overlooking the fact that the Jury will pick the winner. JT will obviously win if in the final two or three, whatever will be this seasons plan. You overlook the fact that Stephen is the deciding vote against couch. He will control Tyson's vote, the other real dumb ass on the show. They will vote for JT as will most of the others on the Jury. If JT wins and gets Stephen off then that leaves Taj in the final two or three. Erinn doesn't count because no one likes her anyway. Taj could be a big upset.

[lesmoc]

Everyone makes JT out as the big favorite... Most of those on the jury thought they were safe and put trust in JT, only to be blindsided. I wouldn't be so sure he will get the majority decision against Stephen... It seems Erin has no chance against any of the contestants to me. Taking her to the finals would be smart. Taj would win over Erin but I doubt she would beat stephen or JT. The fact that she is married to a football legend will hurt her if she makes the finals. I wouldn't be suprised to see JT go this week. If he wins immunity, it may be stephen!

Steve is going to take Taj to the final because the jury isn't going to give Taj who is already a millionaire a million bucks!

No one thinks that Stephen played a good game? I was actually surprised that he didn't get at least one vote. it takes two to make it to the end game and they made it there together. To say that Stephen is a snake and not say the same about the winner is WRONG. The two of them were playing the same game and worked together. Having said that, if Stephen is a snake then so is T.J. How else do any of you expect to win this game? You have to lie and stab people in the back to win. I personally thought that Stephen was more of the mastermind behind the majority of the plays that the two of them made.
