That is classic. I especially love the one quote:

Brendan: "We're throwing underhand breaking tiles and none of us have ever done this before"
Coach: "I have"

That line pissed me off more than anything! Are you serious? Now you're just making stuff up, Coach. To be honest, I see him as being similar to a Randy from last season. I think he'll stay around for a little while, but I see a major blindside coming eventually.

And I think that Stephen gets away with switching sides so often because he seems like the weak, clueless guy who just goes along with everything everyone says. His plots and schemes aren't advertised around camp. He only says these things to the cameras one-on-one. I don't think anyone sees him as a threat right now (especially because he's not winning every challenge, and it took him 2 hours to build a fire). For now, he's seen as an extra vote one way or the other.

The line is funny because he pretends he HAS done everything, but it actually works against him, basically proving that he'll say anything for attention.

Exactly. 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.

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.

She's from Eastern Illinois University. She could always say Auburn though
