I voted Stephen, hoping that Taj, Erinn, and Coach are smart enough to change the game at this point.

I voted Erinn - I don't think JT or Stephen will vote for Taj tonight. ( or voted for her whenever and will be shown tonight)

I finally figured out who Coach looks like/reminds me of... Sam Shepard!

I don't think Taj will turn on Stephen at all. If Stephen's smart, he'll get the others to vote out JT but he'll cast a vote for someone else to keep JT's jury vote.

But I have a feeling it'll be Coach or Erinn tonight.

JT wins immunity. Stephen uses HII. Coach goes home.

JT has this game in the bag unless Stephen comes through with a huge final tribal.

I think unless he wins immunity, Coach has to go, I would be surprised if JT/Stephen would let him in with a chance of winning immunity to make it to the final 3

Now that I think about it JT and Stephen should keep Coach around till the final 3. They first need to convince him that Debbie had to go because she was scheming against him. It can be done. Coach also isn't going to win over a jury. He's also a money in the bank vote. He'll do whatever JT and Stephen say while Erinn and Taj would be much more open to blindsiding JT or Stephen.

Coach is ridiculous. There is no way he is suffering from asthma, and his back looked fine during the challenge.

Very well could have just been editing, but as soon as Taj told Coach not to hurt his back any more, he started playing it up.

The guy is certifiable.

I can't believe he is only 37.

Erin lets coach bother her way too much.

JT looked pissed. Probably the right move for Stephen, but it probably rubbed JT the wrong way (understandably so)...now he's got Erin against him for sure. And Stephen probably finally saw the light (that going into the finals with JT is suicide). So depends on who wins immunity and if Taj sides with Stephen/Erin or JT, and from all indications so far in the game that's Stephen.

I think after a month with Coach, I'd probably be the same way. I'm normally good with letting things roll off my back, but he's just way over the top. It would get hard to ignore him after that long.

I agree, but with $1 million on the line I'd at least be sure to bite my toungue when it counts (when Probst is around).

Stephen is a black wizard, not a white wizard.

Stephen made a really smart strategic move, on 2 counts. 1 - Coach could have won immunity next time and really messed things up for him and 2 - Now he can side with the women again to get JT out.

Any guesses to who the jury would choose with a Taj/Stephen/Erinn final? Didn't most of Timbira hate Erinn anyways?

Taj now joins the goofs for not playing her hidden immunity idle. The way her and Erinn have been, she should have gave it to Erinn. It was the last day to use it. I guess she wanted a souvenir.

If I can recall, she gave it to Stephen and never asked for it back. I don't even think the idol has been mentioned in a few weeks!

Yeah, far too much pole talk by Jeff.

JT was playing to the jury to secure Coach's vote (if JT and Stephen are final 2). Hmmm.... wonder if JT and Stephen discuss that vote or not...

I don't think at this point Stephen would do anything without JT knowing (at least until he votes him out of the game...which I'm convinced is coming).

Getting rid of the delusional clown was absolutely the right move for Stephen. JT didn't appear to care one way or the other, and Taj has been sick of Ben's nonsense for awhile now (he would have left the night Sierra left if he hadn't won immunity...DRAGONSLAYER!!!). He'll need Taj in order to turn on JT. The question is whether he'll do it next or wait and hope it's a final 2.

I have to say it again. I love Brendan, Tyson, and Sierra. "Coach" mocking is the awesome.

Man, Coach is so deeply in love with JT, it's not funny anymore.
