I am so glad Coach is gone...his stories just drive me crazy!! And his complaining, but I am not complaining drives me crazy too! They should have sent him to Exile Island every week, lol.

I also think Stephen made a bad move by voting for Coach and then letting JT vote for Erinn.
He just gave a vote to JT from Coach. I do like JT, but I also like Stephen and Taj. If Stephen was smart, he would go in the final 2 with Taj. Of course, i wouldn't mind seeing her win either. Any of the 3 can win and I will be perfectly happy. As long as it isn't Tyson or Coach winning!! Maybe the girls shouls team up this week, that would be the smartest move for them.
Wouldn't it suck though if Erinn won immunity!

As I said, Stephen screwed the pooch letting JT vote for Erin. He just doesn't have the balls to order JT around.

He should have told JT that they are all going to vote for coach and whoever doesn't vote for coach is the next person gone.

I really wish we would get a JT confessional explaining that he really wanted coach to be there at the end because he knew he could beat him. But I still get the vibe that maybe JT buys into some of the crap coach spews.

His confessionals don't really jibe with what he says in game. For instance many times in confessionals he talks about voting out coach, then we see him trying to convince Stephen to keep Coach.

JT was just using Erin's comments as an excuse to keep coach. Erin was actually right about her comments. Coach was trying to be a martyr. The truth is that the guy probably can't light a fire so he made up all the other crap.

And his back is a total lie. He does not get up or sit down like a person with a back injury, plus he had no problem keeping up with JT in the challenge.

So now you have four semi-likable finalists and no clear choice for the jury.

I would eliminate Taj since she's married to an ex NFL star. She doesn't need the money.

Steven lives in New York and has a decent profession, so he'll likely be fine down the road.

Erin and JT seem to need the money the most and of those two JT has done more to deserve it IMO.

Coach is the greatest. How entertaining has this assclown been? It sucks he's gone. I really wanted him to win it all just to see how he'd react. It would have been unbelievable.

Stephen has been controlling this whole game the whole time.

If I were JT or Stephen, I'd bring Taj to the final and then claim that a former pop star married to an NFL player doesn't need the money.

The final questions and answers would have been terrible with coach. Every answer would have been a dissertation on honor and truth even though the guy had no problem backstabbing and lying when it suited him. It would have made me ill.

Now at least we get to see him question the Evil Wizard that ousted him or so I hope. We need Stephen in the finals to get the real sparks we want.

I actually want Erinn to win this week. So far, she is the only remaining one that has stood up to and not bought into Coach's crap. Sure, she hasn't done anything, but she has bigger balls than the remaining men.

I actually would love Erin to win simply because it would make coach sick.

A few observations:

1. Coach definitely doesn't know how to start a fire. He was so afraid that America would see him fail at starting the fire and thus, know that all he says is bs, that he allowed himself to be cold and hungry and tried to play it off as intentional suffering to make his mind stronger. What he fails to realize is that everyone already knows he is full of bs.

2. I'm shocked that the Survivor "powers that be" did not hide another immunity idol when Coach was sent to exile. He has made the show this season, and I figured they would want to keep him around as long as possible. They never even showed him look at the clue, so I had a feeling he may play an idol right up till the end.

3. Didn't JT say to Stephen at one point that he would be willing to take Coach to the final 3? He mentioned why he wouldn't take Erin, but never said anything about Taj. If they didn't take Taj, that would be aweful. The girl actually handed them an immunity idol.

4. All 3 other contestants (Coach, Erin, and Taj) commented last night that they were at the mercy of JT and Stephen and hoped they would be taken to the top 3. Are they really happy with that? This is for a million bucks. Is 3rd place good enough for these people? Why don't they smarten up and form an alliance against JT and Stephen? Friendship and honor are great, but give me the million bucks.

Taj and Erinn are starting to buddy buddy up and this could be a perfect opportunity for them to form an alliance. It doesn't matter who wins immunity this week, because, even if Erin wins, it's still the two guys voting against the two girls. It's the women's only shot.

really? I would have been laughing my arse off at that tool. hoenstly, this game has been over since last week. Why everybody wanted to get with Stephen and JT and not do what's best for them to win is stupid. It's like they're settling.

Well JT won immunity. Had he not won this week their may have been some wrangling by the ladies to vote him off. I think they feel they have a shot against anyone but JT.

I think Taj knows that she sunk her ship by telling people she was married to a NFL star. Still not sure why she did that.

Heck might have been her strategy to get to the end. Everyone knows she is not going to get the mil since she has money so she may have been playing that angle since day 1.

Erin has been playing at a disadvantage also from day one. She was not part of the Dork squad and then she was not really allied with JT and Stephen. So she has been just trying to hang on from almost day one.

I think if Stephen or either girl wins JT is a goner. Stephen went to freakin Yale. He isn't stupid. He knows JT has it in the bag if he gets to the finals so I think Stephen will make a move next week if JT does not win immunity.

Whereas JT can keep his word because he is universally liked, has been part of the most of the planning, and he has won challenges. Unbeatable in the final 2.

Well that point is moot since it was so late in the game when Eddie showed up. I could understand her telling people if she knew they would see him, but even then, the remaining people might not know or recognize Eddie George.

She told everyone very early in the game. It was a very risky and possibly pointless move on her part.

The fact that she was sent to Exile so many times probably saved her because her team feared she may have had the idol and they simply decided not to mess with the idol.

Coach being gone is a major hit to the show. I also have never seen Survivor play up the "mock the contestant" as much as they did with him. He made up 45 minutes of the 55 minute episode (since it was his last one), and the music that they played to create a since of phony-drama around his shenanigans was priceless.

When he dropped off the wall in the challenge and crumbled into the fetal position on the dirt, it was one of television's best moments in some time. He had taken his act to a whole new level..and it was amazing.
