Why am I mad?

Bc I don't like Coach and Assistant Coach(Tyson)...they get on my nerves. They are power hungry and if JT was smart, he would have went the other way. Of course I think JT can win out of everybody if he comes down to the end.

Actually, he hasn't boxed himself in yet. He still can switch and take out Coach and Tyson because him, Steven, and Taj can join Sierra and the brunette and take them out.

The question is how aggravated are they with Coach. He sucks, and they were already talking about how crazy he is. If Tyson and Coach overplay their hand and get too mean and ugly towards Sierra which they are planning to, that might rub JT the wrong way and open his eyes to the scumbags they are. He might just get all Southern gentleman and teach them a lesson in respect for women.

Good Point!!

That would be awesome!!

I like JT and hope he does win. I just haven't trusted Stephen 100% at all...and Taj really shocked me when she voted for Brenan last night...but she was just going along with her tribe bc he waited too long to talk with her!
I am just tired of hearing Coach's stories and tired seeing Tyson and his EGO, lol.

Coach really is reality tv gold, the guy is obviously a storyteller (aka...liar) but he is entertaining if you take him for what he's worth. It's been a tough season to watch, not a lot of interesting characters.
Survivor is all about the cast, they can make or break a season.
I am surprised the plan of voting off of Brendan stayed together for several days (2 episodes) and no one changed their mind.

I'll tell you what was great about last night's vote...Seeing Sierra's face as Brendan and her name kept poping up during the vote...th elook on her face was a combination of constepation and watching her pet die. Pretty priceless.

To be honest, I might have had that look on my face too, bc I totally wasn't thinking it was gonna go that way...I thought JT, Taj, & Stephen were gonna go with Brendan. I was really shocked!
I just was hoping to get rid of Coach.

I just found this:

SBU soccer coach fired
Time taken for TV show not explained early on.
Matt Baker • News-Leader • February 18, 2009

"Survivor" contestant Ben Wade might survive the Brazilian Highlands, but he couldn't get through his day job.

Less than a week after Wade premiered on the CBS reality TV show, Southwest Baptist University fired Wade as its head women's soccer coach.

Wade said Tuesday that he plans to pursue an acting career.

"I'm going to be the next big thing on the big screen," Wade said in a phone interview.

SBU athletic director Brent Good said the school bought out the remaining three months of Wade's contract because Wade did not tell Good that he left the team at mid-season to be on television.

"He said he was going to be gone for a week," Good said. "And the week went beyond that, which went beyond that, which went beyond that."

Good said Wade left the team on Oct. 22 -- with two weeks left in the season -- to go to the Brazilian Highlands to shoot the 18th season of the hit reality show. He returned to campus eight weeks later, on Dec. 17.

Wade said Good informed him of the decision Monday. He said the news was a surprise and that he hopes to continue his television career.

"The administration felt like 'Survivor' was me going to Hollywood," Wade said.

"I loved my time at SBU. Obviously, now I'm off to pursue adventures in Hollywood."

Wade, a world-class trumpeter who holds the record for longest solo kayaking expedition, said he plans to leave today for California , where he will conduct the Susanville Symphony.

He said he hopes to be on an all-star series of "Survivor" and that he'd like to host his own TV program, "The Coach Wade Show."

"This has opened up a whole new world to me," Wade said. "I loved being myself on camera. There's going to be a lot of interest from the show in who I was and what I did. I'm definitely excited about that."

Wade said most of his players understood his absence last year after he explained his appearance on the show.

But SBU didn't.

Good said the move had nothing to do with how Wade appeared on the show, which premiered Feb. 12.

"Coach Wade's a good coach," Good said. "I think the choice he made to do what he did was not done in the right way. With that, there's a consequence with it. Unfortunately, that consequence is that his contract is not renewed, and he's no longer here."

The decision comes five days after SBU announced its eight-person signing class of 2009.

Good said SBU has formed a search committee to look for a new coach and that he hopes to fill the position this spring.[/quote]

Yeah that was pretty impressive to keep that together. Most of these plans only have to go a day at the most. I thought last week with Joe going home that the extra 3 days might have doomed that plan, but they stuck to it, to their credit.

It was a stupid move. Think about this, Steven and JT going with Coach puts them down a player when they get to five. If they would have done the Taj, Sierra, Brendan alliance, they would be in the three when it went to five.

Also, who has won the last two individual immunities? Tyson. Clearly, it would remain in your best interest to get rid of maybe one of the stronger person's alliances in Coach.

The biggest idiot though is Taj. She and Brendan had so much power with the two idols and they completely squandered it away. Taj and Erin are just fools that don't even play the game.

What did they end up doing with the idols? I watched a few early episodes and saw Brendan find one on Exile, but I haven't watched the past few. I did watch last night, though. Just need a small update. Thanks.

BTW, I don't like Coach or the little Spencer looking guy, but I will be tuning end next week because of them. They are good tv.

Brendan left the game with one idol in his pocket. Taj found the other and gave it to Stephen to "hold".

Thanks.

So he would have had to use it before the vote tallying in order to receive immunity, but since he thought he had control last night he chose not to, but still got the boot. Sound about right?

Taj is being played and doesn't realize it. Erin has nobody and doesn't even scheme to do anything; rather, she just relegates herself to a pawn and worthless player. Coach controls Steven, because Steven feels a part of a group for the first time in his life(the Wizard comment led me to believe this, he loves being coaches little guy). Steven controls JT. Tyson sits back and allows coach to think he's making the decisions and make a fool of himself but Tyson is smarter than the other players, but he's also an arrogant guy that is funny at times but irritating at times. Sierra is fricked. The old lady is just window dressing for numbers and will make it to the final five due to her lack of strength. She might sneak in there at the end but she's worthless.

Yeah. And the other side split their votes with Sierra and Brendan so that if he played the idol, Sierra would have gone home.
