Survivor: Tocantins

[KDAngel]

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.

[srmom]

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???

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!

[srmom]

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 )

I can't believe that Taj chose Stephen as the guy to trust. She obviously screwed up there. I know they like to blindside us, but I'd like to see more of the discussions about who is getting voted off. I've been watching long enough to know it wouldn't be Coach since it was edited to look like it was going to be Coach but I really wasn't sure if it would be Sierra or Brandon. A threeway tie would have been awesome.

I'm beginning to think that they will all want to take Coach to the finals because they know nobody would vote for him? Just a thought.

That was just hysterical.

Yeah, but I kept hoping. I'll have to pull for Stephen or JT now.

[a.e.B.O.T.]

Coach is a Dick... capital D, truly, there are others with arrogance, but his really takes the cake in his self-loving... good tv? maybe, but im ready to vomit and tired of it...

[SydneyK]

I finally had a chance to watch last night (and thanks for the link to Jeff's blog, Jen). Wow. Coach is something else, isn't he?!? Can you imagine how badly his business is being affected by all this pathological lying? There's no way I'd send my kids to play soccer for him (that is what he coaches, right?)! The guy is certifiably crazy!

He was head women's soccer coach at Southwest Baptist University. I say "was" because they fired him because he didn't tell them he was going to be on Survivor -- he left mid-season and told them he'd be gone for a week.

He doesn't seem to mind, though, since he's going to be the next big thing on TV.

BTW, anyone watch Brendan's post-TC interviews from Ponderosa? He seems as normal as Coach seems insane.

[AGDee]

Yeah, Brendan does seem pretty normal. I liked those interviews. I loved the idea of the Exile Island alliance and I think Stephen was totally stupid for ditching it.

He probably thought he would only last a week. I don't really think he suffers from delusions of grandeur, because I'm pretty sure that he's fully aware of the BS that's coming out of his mouth, and is probably inwardly shocked that people have bought it this long (or at least not called him on it), and not sent him packing.

I think you're giving him too much credit.
I think he fully expects to win this thing... you know, being the dragon-slayer and all.

[srmom]

Now you're just making stuff up, Coach. To be honest, I see him as being similar to a Randy from last season.

My husband says he's like Michael Scott from The Office. He says things that are absolutely ridiculous and expects those listening to not only believe him, but to think it's the coolest!

If I were there with them, I'd start making up stories of my own, just to see how Coach reacted to them. I'd try to one-up everything he said. When he told his story of kayaking through the Amazon, and being captured by the natives, I'd make up an equally outlandish story just to see what he says.

We'll start calling you Jim Halpern

I don't know what chapter Deb is from, but I'd love for her to just come out with "I survived rush and pledging in the 80s (70s?) at XYZ (hopefully a ridiculously competitive) University" next time he starts on stories.

Oh, he'd just tell some ridiculous hazing stories from his college days, like having to put a pumpkin head on that someone had thrown up in. (see hazing thread)

LOL. I had exactly the same thought watching this last episode.

Your husband is a wise man.
