Survivor: Tocantins

[SuperT]

Tyson was cruel to Sierra, but I feel as if we aren't being shown everything about Sierra and what sparked that for me was the dislike that came from Erinn tonight. She looked like she wanted to claw Sierra's face off when she, Debbie, Coach, and Sierra were all sitting at camp talking. Major catfight there.

Then in one of Brendan's post show interviews after he was voted out, he stated that he wish he would have known what kind of person Sierra was before he allied with her. It just seemed like everyone severely disliked this girl, although I don't find it too incredibly hard to figure out why - her whining tonight during most of the episode was hard to watch.

Anyway, as for the rest of the game, Erinn's spike in airtime makes me think she might be out soon in a shocker. Her confessionals in tonight's episode were very cheeky and arrogant at times.

Methinks she pulls a Christy from Amazon, and tries to play both sides, so everyone just comes together and kicks her butt out.

Tyson was TOO cruel to Sierra. There was just no need for half of the **** he said. Seeing him go was so amazing.

Yeah, but Tyson's been getting crueler and crueler as the season went on. His ego just got way to big, I was really happy to see him go. This season really is the season of egos, Tyson and Coach, but now we're starting to see JT, Stephen and Erinn's egos growing. Couldn't understand why Erinn thought she was going to change the game soon, she's not really part of an alliance.

Tyson getting ***** slapped like that was fantastic. He was shocked.

But that is what put her in such a good position. Once Sierra was gone, she became the swing vote between the two factions of three, making her the most powerful player in the game.

 

[SuperT]

Yea, but like I stated in my previous post we all saw what happened to Christy when she was placed in a similar situation back in the Amazon season.

She got all wishy-washy, arrogant saying she was in control and wouldn't commit to either alliance so both alliances just said forget it, and came together and voted her off for not choosing a side.

If Erinn isn't careful, she could be facing the same fate.

The last person to play like that and not get voted out was Cirie in Fans vs. Favorites when she had to choose between Ozzy/Amanda/Parvati/James and Johnathan/Eliza/Yau-Man/Ami.

But of course, Cirie played that perfectly and Ozzy even asked why they were letting Cirie make the decision and she still didn't get voted out. <3 <3 Cirie <3 <3

Loved seeing Tyson getting blindsided last night. I was doing ballet jumps by the end of it, such was my joy. Sierra put it best at T.C.: You're a jerk. There is such a thing as 'too far' and he crossed the line a long time ago. Oh, sweet victory is too sweet.

And Coach provided yet more absurd hilarity. The man has to be acting. There is no way someone is that delusional. I highly doubt the Survivor producers would risk putting on a show as mentally challenging as this someone who not only spouts half the stuff he does, but means it. He'd be a threat to everyone on site, for who knows when he might suddenly snap and kill them all in their sleep on grounds that they were trying to feast on his ass? Nevertheless, I'm very much looking forward to seeing Coach groveling to Sierra next week and Sierra throwing his words of sacrifice and 'falling on your sword' back at his face (hopefully). I do so love watching karma at work.

I have to say, Stephen is one shrewd bastard. A lot is going on in that head of his. I didn't even think to bring up voting off Tyson when he did. I gather that, if you're not J.T., he'll backstab you without hesitation, but if you are, even then, I'm not so sure. A million dollars is at stake, after all. He's playing a very good game, unlike in-your-face-obnoxious, code-of-the-samurai, cannibals-tried-to-eat-my-ass Coach. We'll see how long he can keep it up before he's found out, and I'm hoping that Taj has, for only then can she move to get back her HII that she so carelessly gave Stephen for 'safekeeping.'

It was great seeing Tyson get blindsided. I completely agree that he was getting way to cocky and arrogant for his own good.

Coach sure did get a lot of egg on his face after that tribal council t: You really shouldn´t brag about how well your playing when there are still a lot of people not closely aligned with you left in the game.

The preview for next weeks episode struck me as strange, I simply took it as a given that Erinn would side with the three former Jalapao members to form a solid four core so I don't see how Sierra could possibly get into a tie breaking situation. My guess is that it is just a marketing gimmick by CBS and she will never really have any power.

It was great to see Brendan's reaction to Tyson getting kicked out, he clearly loved it that Coach got slapped by karma after all the boasting Coach did about getting Brendan voted out.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm starting to think Coach is actually a plant, by the producers. There is no way that such a person exists.

 

[RAMORE]

We all wish it true loud silent man we all wish....


On another not i'm so glad they got Tyson out!! After rethinking the previous episode I decided the only went brendan cause tyson got immunity if it had switched they would have gone the other way. They are getting out threats and they know coach while crazy isn't one.

Stephen is by far the best player left. Did yall catch how he phrased voting off tyson to JT "He might go on an immunity run you never know it happens every year, this our opportunity to out him...pause...let's make you the one to go on a run." Masterful. He likes JT for sure but he is playing that farmboy...and it's working

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Yeah and Stephen is too smart a player to take JT far as well. JT will probably be the next to go after Coach is axed.

 

[Marx]

Delusional? Arrogant? Completely out of touch with reality? They definitely exist LSM.

 

[RAMORE]

Philly I thought that too but I dunno JT is his protection and if he makes it to the end he can play the I did all the strategy for us and he really didn't win that much card. All though that has risks. I think they should get rid or a girl next likely Sierra. As much as I hate coach I'm a firm believer you should never let women out number you on a show like that for they will turn on you and do the whole tired Girl power thing.

That reminds of Fans vs. Favorites!

The women that season completely OWNED every single male player on that cast.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

Yeah, you really don´t want to set your self up for a possible women alliance thing but considering the fractured nature of the women this season I doubt such an alliance would take place.

Coach is the next logical target to take out though JT might have some lingering loyalty to him from the whole "warrior alliance" thing and instead go with voting out Sierra or Debbie.

Personally I think that Erinn should pull a surprise switch back to the original Timbira tribe since she can almost certainly form a core of three with Debbie and Coach, all those three need to do is get Sierra to vote with them at next tribal council.

JT has no problem going against his alliances, he'll go along with whatever Stephen says. I think Stephen's best bet for a final partner, if it's 1 on 1 is Taj, just bring up Eddie George as her husband and she doesn't need the money.

I doubt Sierra will go along with what Debbie and Coach say, definitely not Erinn. Erinn's only hope is to stay with the Jalapao's and hope she can win those later challenges. Pretty amazing that it looks like the tribe that came into the merge so far down in numbers (really only 3, since the one guy was forced to leave before the first TC) is seemingly running the game.

 

[SuperT]

Yea, I don't see anyway the girls would get together this season Erinn hates Sierra, Debbie hates Sierra, Sierra hates Erinn and Debbie, and Taj is ambivalent to all of them.

At least the women in Micronesia all got along with each other.

 

[RAMORE]

I don't put it past them if it was me one of the women next

I think amazing is right though stephen would have the best argument against taj.

 

[Sawyer]

Yes, but it's just too much all at once, he cant be for reals!

 

[Marx]

Yes, but it's just too much all at once, he cant be for reals!

I'd say there is a good part of it that's all an act for tv.

 

[Matt]

Coach is a moron. He needs Sierra's vote and he helps take her out of the reward challenge. What an ass.

 

[Matt]

I really hope that the conversation about keeping Debbie and voting Sierra out was just crafty editting and was just them throwing the option out there...because it would be the first dumb move that Stephen has made all game. I mean, dealing with a little drama is worth a million dollars. Take out the threat, be smart.

and Mr. I was attacked by cannibals, Coach just said he values honesty

 

[SuperT]

Well, another shocking boot since I thought Debbie was gone for sure.

I can't believe how Debbie and Coachbag just straight up lied about that entire conversation to everyone's face. My gosh, that was unbelievable how they twisted that around.

 

[Matt]

To leave in a threat because the weaker player causes "drama," has to be one of the dumber moves in Survivor history, which was ironically enough made by one of the smarter players in the game's history.

Also, why the hell did Erinn vote Stephen?

I couldn't agree more.

Also, why the hell did Erinn vote Stephen?

I was wondering the same thing. I tried to see what the little note written under the name was, but I couldn't make it out.

 

[SuperT]

Erinn promised she wouldn't vote for Sierra, yet she probably didn't want Debbie to be voted out either.

The little note said "Never again swear."
