And even if he makes it to the final 3, there's NO WAY he's winning that million dollars. Unless he's up against two equally obnoxious people.. but I really can't think of two who would fit that description.

I dunno...I think just about everyone this season is obnoxious in some form or fashion [notice how that keeps me from watching every week when I should be at choir practice :p]. In this case, even thought I kinda like her, I think Sierra would lose to Coach. But that would only be in a Final 2 situation. And if Sierra and Coach end up in a Final 2 situation, I'm never watching Survivor again.

Obnoxious, yes. AS obnoxious as Coach? I don't know.

My favorite right now is probably Stephen. He's so sneaky and playing every side and no one suspects anything. It makes me laugh.

I think the drama will boil even more now with the same thoughts and give more time to scheming that this next will now be BETTER thanks to the injury... can only hope, right?

I like Stephan and Brandon.

And Sierra is annoying, but nowhere near as much so as Coach.

I hope you're right! I won't get to watch tonight, but I hope it's juicy anyway.

I don't know that I have a favorite player at this point. I initially liked the idea behind the blind alliance, but I think the novelty of it has worn off (that is to say, I can't think of a good reason why I don't want to see it work anymore). I'd like to see more of Tyler and Deb, so I'd hate to see either of them go any time soon: Tyler always says the most hilarious things, and Deb has some serious spunk and likeability. I think when it comes to gameplay, though, Stephen is probably the best Survivor out there. At least, it appears that way to me based on the editing...

Have we mentioned that Deb is an Alpha Gam?

ETA: Yeah, we have :) Nevermind!

I've seen speculation that Tyler is positioning himself as a "quote factory" to get as much screen time as possible.

And if I had to guess, I just might put my money on him to go tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true! Some of the things he says are so outlandish that I can't believe he actually means what he's saying. It doesn't prevent him from saying it, nonetheless. You know, both Tyler and Coach bring "flavor" to the show. I'm trying to decide why Tyler's flavor is more palatable than Coach's. Maybe because Tyler can't actually be as terse as he seems, but Coach can definitely be as egotistical as he seems. :confused: I dunno... I'm open to ideas here.

Now, MC, if you know something we don't, be nice and use the spoiler font! ;)

LOL. No, I don't have any spoiler information. Pure guess. I'm going with what I think would be the good strategy for Stephen, whom I think is in the driver's seat right now.

And I think you're right about Coach vs Tyler. I think with Tyler, we're all in on his joke. Coach, meanwhile, I don't think has a clue about how big a joke he is.

I can't stand Stephen, Tyson or Coach. They can all go as far as I'm concerned. I get that Stephen is playing a good game, but he bores me or something. Blah.

I love JT, even though I'm not sure he made the best move last night. We'll see.

And I can't believe how much weight Taj has lost. It's crazy.

What do y'all think of the pygmie kidnapping/near death experience in the Amazon story that Coach told!! How about at tribal where he told Jeff something about them wanting to eat his butt??? What??? :eek:

I think the guy is a pathological liar!! As he went on and on about the national geographic people wanting to go with him and he told them, "No. This trip is about me." I nearly choked on my Chardonney! Then Brandon asked him how he paid for the helicopter drop in the Amazon, and he said he just asked. Yeah, right! What a tool!

I cannot stand him, but I kind of don't want him to get voted off for a while so I can hear more of his complete and utter BS! It will be a thing of beauty when he finally gets the boot. His face when they lost the reward challenge was wonderful - pure baby whining!! When he gets voted off, he is for sure going to blow a fuse. AND, his jury appearance will be comic gold, Dragon Slayer that he is!! hahahahahaha

I about died listening to his story. He had a military connection that just happened to let him use a helicopter. Talk about delusional...

I didn't get to watch last night, so I'm assuming that Coach is still around. I'll have to watch online or something to see what I missed!

Thanks Jen, I laughed out loud at that!

Some gems from Coach:

Brendan: "How'd you afford a military chopper?"
Coach: "That I got for free."
Brendan: "How'd you do that?"
Coach: "I pulled some strings."

Coach: "Be the wizard, Stephen, be the wizard."

And Best of ALL:

Coach: "If you do a Google search you won't find it; it's only passed down verbally."

The guy is comic genius (except for the genius part ;))
