The Official Survivor: Tocantins Thread

[newyorkjetsfan]

Thursday night is the season premiere of Survivor: Tocantins.

I can't wait!!!

[newyorkjetsfan]

Thursday night was the premiere of Survivor: Tocantins.

The contestants arrived in Tocantins, Brazil in the burning heat. The contestants were making first impressions on some of the fellow castmates.

Jeff Probst told the contestants to get supplies from the truck in 60 seconds. In the end, the Timbira tribe have water and other supplies while the Jalapao tribe didn't. That makes sense.

Before going on a four-hour trek in the hot sun, Jeff told the tribes to vote off one member from each tribe based on first impressions. The Jalapao tribe selected Sandy because of her age, and she was ****ed. The Trmbira tribe selected Sierra because she looked frail. Plus, she told the tribe that she was sick. However, Jeff told the two exile contestants that they will be at the camp site by a helicopter.

At the site, the exile contestants were given a choice of building the camp site to build a relationship with the fellow tribe mates or finding the hidden Immunity Idol. Sandy decided to find the Idol because she doesn't want to waste her energy of forging alliances with people who would vote her out anyway while Sierra opted to help build the camp site.

When the rest of the Jalapao tribe arrived, they were upset that Sandy didn't set up the camp. Meanwhile, over at the Timbira camp, they were pleased with Sierra's help. Also, Tyson walked the water and woods naked, much to the delight to some of the castaways. Sandy walked away from the tribe to search for the hidden immunity idol, which alienated her from the rest of her tribe. She found the first clue but having problems finding the second clue because she doesn't know how much is ten paces and can't find the palm tree.

The Immunity Challenge had the tribes to race the sand hills to the river where they have to swim to a raft holding two bags of puzzle planks. After getting the planks, the two contestants from each tribe have to arrange them in the correct slots. After all members reached the top, two members have to navigate a maze to release the flag for immunity and fire. In the end, Timbira won immunity.

At the Jalapao tribe, there are some people who wanted Sandy to stay because of how she performed at the challenge. Plus, they were annoyed with Carolina's bossy attitude. She told the tribe to finish the site after losing immunity.Talk about rubbing people the wrong way.

At tribal council, the tribe voted Carolina out.

I'm glad that Sandy stayed. I loved her attitude.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!

[terri910]

First blindside at the very first tribal council! Cool!

I'm also glad Sandy wasn't voted out right away (love a little twist like that)....but I don't think she'll last too long. She didn't seem too bright to me, not being able to locate the "lone palm tree"...or even know what a "pace" was! :))

Can't wait for next week, newyorkjetsfan!

Yeah, Sandy not only can't keep her mouth shut and her emotions in check, she is probably the dumbest contestant ever.

[terri910]

Yeah, Sandy not only can't keep her mouth shut and her emotions in check, she is probably the dumbest contestant ever.
That's right -- I'd almost forgotten that! I was getting really annoyed with the crying, and over-the-top excitement about stuff.

[jaggy]

Yeah, Sandy not only can't keep her mouth shut and her emotions in check, she is probably the dumbest contestant ever.

I can't stand her she is annoying she don't wanna play nice, as much I dont want her to find the idol. but I guess she will ,we will see.

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was another good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After tribal council, Sandy from the Jalapao tribe feel that she was underestimated. But, the rest of the tribe originally planned to vote her out first but voted Carolina out because of her mouth and planning to vote out Sandy next. Jai opened her big mouth and told her tribemates that she's married to former NFL running back Eddie George. No doubt, some of her castaways would want her gone.

Over at the Timbira tribe, Sierra asked Brendan to help search for the Immunity Idol because he didn't vote her out at the start of the trek. However, as they were digging for the second clue, they were caught. Sierra lied about building a fire pit for the bonfire. Coach and Candance had a disagreement of her cooking of rice.

The Immunity Challenge was for three members of one tribe to play offense in a game of water basketball while three members of the opposing tribe play defense in the pouring rain. The reward, in addition to immunity, is fishing gear. The game was physical as the contestants were pulling and tackling each other. In the end, Jalapao won immunity. As the winner, the tribe sends one member from the losing tribe to Exile Island, and they picked Brenden. In a twist, he gets to pick one member of the winning tribe to join him, and he picks Taj.

Back at Jalapao camp, they were trying out the fishing gear. In the process, Stephen and J.T. formed a bond.

At Exile Island, Brenden and Taj saw two vases and have to pick one each. Brenden opened the one with a clue to the Immunity Idol and found out it was back at camp, but he didn't told Taj. He also read another message that stated that he could switch tribes. He decided not to. When he came back to camp, he lied about not finding the clue.

At Timbira camp, Candance wants Coach gone because she thought that he didn't do enough at the challenge. However, when he heard about this, Coach called Candance a "cancer." There are some who still wants Sierra to be voted out.

In the end, Candance was surprised that she was the second person voted out.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!

[terri910]

Lots of body parts escaping their clothing during the very physical challenge last night! *LOL*

So.....two tribal councils, one for each team, and that's two blind-sides!

This is shaping up to be an interesting season of Survivor!

I thought it wasn't smart of that former-NFL-player's wife (Taj, right?) to let everyone know who she is married to. Just as I expected, some are already thinking, "She doesn't need the money." Even if she makes it to the final two, that could be a negative factor for her.

[twinheart]

good show - and I agree about Taj spilling the beans about who her husband is - a little white lie would have done just fine -

[Extricator]

Why do they have to vote off the well endowed women right off the bat ?

:evil:

[Samm]

Why do they have to vote off the well endowed women right off the bat ?

:evil:

My thoughts exactly... :(


Does anyone know if the un-censored footage is posted anywhere? :whistle:

[terri910]

Why do they have to vote off the well endowed women right off the bat ?

:evil:
My husband said that, too....

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After tribal council, Erinn of the Timbira tribe talked about why she hanged around Candance to see what she likes. She sort of backed out of her alliance to please the rest of the tribe. However, they weren't pleased with her explanation, and she nows worry about her status and have to prove herself worthy to her fellow tribemates. Jerry wasn't feeling well and his stomach hurts, but he doesn't want to show it in front of the Timbira tribe.

Over at the Jalapao tribe, they were struggling with the fishing net. But, eventually, they did caught fish.

The Reward Challenge had six members of each tribe blindfolded and tied by a rope and have to follow directions by a guide to find a bucket then a tank holding water. Then, the members must return to the starting point to fill the container of water to raise the flag. They must do it again with a bucket of corn. The first team will two raised flags wins a reward of blankets, pillows, etc. in addition of sending someone of the opposing tribe to Exile Island. The Timbira tribe was having problems as the tandem of Jerry and Brenden kept going to the wrong direction. In the end, Jalapao won reward. after his tribe lose, Coach gave a tribal yell. The Jalapao tribe decided to send Brenden back to Exile Island, and he decided to bring Taj along with him again.

Coach was upset about his tribe's losing ways and talked to Tyson. He called Tyson his assistant coach.

At Exile Island, Taj opened a clue that stated that the idol is hidden near wood. She and Brenden talked about a four-way alliance after the merger with Steve and Sierra.

The Jalapao tribe are feeling good about themselves after relaxing in the tent during the rain while Timbria was soaking wet.

The Immunity Challenge was for two members of each tribe to race to get the blocks and roll them back to the starting point. Then, they must stack them to form a staircase that spelled out the tribe's name. The tribe to finished and have everybody to reach the top wins. The Timbria tribe had a lead, but a lack of communications and confusion cost them the challenge and lose to Jalapao.

When the tribe heard that Jerry was not well, Erinn was smiling and looked happy. Coach wasn't happy about it and called the look "evil" and wanted her gone. I just loved that guy. Meanwhile, Brenden had found the idol hidden behind the wooden statue.

At tribal council, the tribe talked about the Jalapao tribe's momentum and lack of communications. Coach said that he's more of an assistant coach than a head coach, but he was surprised that Erinn said that Brenden was the leader. In the end, Jerry was voted out.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!

[terri910]

I wish Jerry was still there -- I liked him.

How long do you figure the Coach will last? I think last night's tribal council was something of a surprise to him. I think he has no idea that others do not view things exactly as he does! :))

I think Brendan and Taj, with their "secret alliance" have a brilliant idea, if it works. The key will be when they each try to bring in that "extra" person. They're idea could be one of the greatest in Survivor history, or fizzle out in failure....time will tell!

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After tribal council, Coach wants Erinn gone because he viewed her as the cancer of the tribe, and he talked about his experience in the outdoors. The Timbira tribe were discussing on who should be the leader of the tribe, and Coach said that they trust Brenden as the leader. But, Coach is really the leader of the tribe.

Over at the Jalapao tribe, they were concerned about Taj's well-being since she spent so much time at Exile Island. She managed to talked to Steve about her secret 4-way alliance with Brenden and Sierra. The deal was, if her tribe wins, they will sent Sierra to Exile Island, and she will pick him with her. However, over at Timbira, Brenden forgot to tell Sierra about the alliance.

The Reward Challenge had three members of each tribe having a pole on their shoulders while their tribe mates put on weight dictated by members of the opposing tribe. Last man or woman standing wins, and the winning tribe will get to send two members to raid the opposing tribe and take two items as well as sending one player to Exile Island. J.T. broke the Survivor record held by Rubert for the most weight holding. In the end, Taj was the last woman standing as Jalapao won reward. The tribe picked Sierra to go to Exile Island, and she picked Taj to join her.

Over at Timbira camp, J.T. and Joe from Jalapao came and picked up one bag of beans and a flowering water pot. Sandy wasn't happy about the men's decision and referred to the beans as "farting beans." Her personality began to annoyed some of the tribe. Sandy noticed that Sydney had used her good looks and flirting to get her way with some of the men. Meanwhile, Erinn was having a tough time connecting with anyone in the tribe because she had a tough break-up prior to coming on the show.

Over at Exile Island, Taj read the clue and found out that the clue is near the tree mail stand. She told Sierra about the four-way alliance.

The Immunity Challenge had one member of each tribe to get puzzle pieces until they got eight. Then, they have to put the pieces to the right slots and unscramble them to get the winning phrase. In the end, Timbira finally won immunity.

At Jalapao, some of the members wanted Sandy gone while some are wary about Sydney. They figured that her good looks might be a disadvantage for her.

At tribal council, Sandy talked about how she managed to get along with the team after they deemed her the weakest link in week one. They also talked about Sydney and her using her good looks to her advantage. She said that she's flirtatious, and she flirts with anyone. She even said that she wore J.T.'s boxers.

In the end, Sandy was voted out. I actually like her quirky personality.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!

[JimGP20]

I'm glad Sandy is gone. She reminded me of Joe Dirt's mom. Yack yack yack...... :rolleyes:

[Samm]

I'm glad Sandy is gone. She reminded me of Joe Dirt's mom. Yack yack yack...... :rolleyes:

Ditto. Sandy was the dumbest most annoying contestant ever.

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor Tocantons.

After tribal council, Taj said that she wrote down Joe's name because she doesn't really want to write down Sandy's name. She later found the immunity idol in the mail statue with Steven. Taj handed it to him to hide until she feels that she needs it.

Over at the Timbira camp, Sierra was upset that Brendan didn't tell her about the four-way alliance.

The Reward Challenge had one contestant sitting on a spinning tile while another contestant race down to the tile and drag the rope to make it spin. Then, the contestant that was sitting will be dizzy and have to walk on a plank to the finishing line. The tribe to have three points first wins. In the end, Jalapao wins. Their prize was dinner at a cafe as well as a working toilet and toilet paper. They sent Brendan to Exile Island, and he picked Steven to go with him. Tyson was suspicious of Brendan being friendly with the other tribe.

At the cafe, Taj was worried that her time on Exile Island caused her to be disconnected with the rest of the tribe. The tribe also got letters from home.

On Exile Island, Brendan told Steven about the alliance. But, he doesn't entirely trust Brendan.

On the Timbira tribe, Tyson talked to them about his suspicions of Brendan and that he should be the next one voted out. Coach agreed. Later, Sydney told Spencer about her dream about her boyfriend. Spencer didn't told anyone that he's gay because he doesn't know how some of them would react.

The Immunity Challenge had two members alternate shooting balls for the teams to catch. The first tribe with five points wins. T.J. tried to win it for the Jalapao tribe by himself. During the game, he lost a tooth and threw it away. The game was paused trying to find it. In the end, Timbira won immunity, plus J.T. got his tooth back.

Taj told the tribe to do what's best for the team. Later, she exchanged words with Joe. Later, T.J. wants Spencer gone because of his performance in the challenge. When he heard that some members want Taj gone, Steven was unsure if he wants to give the Idol to her.

At tribal council, the tribe talked about losing the challenge and how it affects the tribe afterwards.

In the end, Spencer was voted out.

CATCH YOU IN TWO WEEKS

[Mortis]

Erinn is damn cute

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After the last tribal council, Sydney was worried that she would be the next one to be voted out from the Jalapao tribe. However, Joe ensured her that she's safe.

Over at the Timibra tribe, Coach wants to cook beans in river water. Well, most of the tribe didn't liked the way that he prepared the beans, especially Sierra.

Back at the Jalapao tribe, Taj told Stephen that she wants to tell JT that she had the hidden immunity idol to join her alliance.

In the Reward Challenge, the teams have five minutes to build a barricade in the opposing tribe's frame. After they finished, they have to throw monkeys through the opposing tribe's barricade, and the team with the most monkeys intact wins a trip over the waterfalls and a barbeque. In the end, Timibra wins and decided to sent Joe to Exile Island. He later picked Erinn to join him.

Over at Exile Island, Erinn told Joe about the clue that she found in the vase.

Back at Jalapao tribe, JT found that immunity idol in Stephen's bag. Then, Taj showed the idol to him and asked him to join her and Stephen in her alliance in addition of giving him the idol if he needs it. Meanwhile, Taj made a fake idol in case Joe found the clues on where the idol is. Joe lied to his fellow tribemates about not finding the clues about the idol's location.

The Immunity Challenge had the teams firing sling shots to break a tile to release the sand to lift another tile to release the bags that have the puzzle pieces. After the three bags are released, the team will assemble the puzzle. In the end, Timbira wins immunity.

Joe and Sydney wants Taj gone while Taj plans to get rid of Sydney. Since Stephen holds the immunity idol, he and TJ discussed of not telling Taj that she could face eviction and keep the idol for themselves.

At tribal council, the tribe talked about basing the vote on trust. Taj talked about the connections she made with members of the Timbira tribe while at Exile Island while Sydney talked about her loyalty to her tribe. In the end, Sydney was voted out.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!!

[Samm]

Looks to me like Taj needs to get the immunity idol back (since technically it is her's) from Stephen and think of a real good place to hid it...

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

At the Timbira tribe, Coach tried to kept the annoying side to his personality to himself by meditating in the water. He also tried to keep the peace by giving the contestants massages. Meanwhile, over at the Jalapao tribe, the members are concerned about Joe's leg as it was swollen larger.

The tribes got a tree mail telling them about the new challenge and a feast. they arrived to a tent with the feast and realized that the two tribes will be merge. They decided of the name Forza, which is Portuguese word for "strength," and will move to the old Timbira site.

Over at the new camp, Coach and JT about their tribes and plan to form an alliance with Stephen, Tyson, and Debbie. They want to get rid of Brendan. Meanwhile, Taj was worried about her alliance of her, Brendan, Sierra, and Stephen because they weren't communicating with each other. However, the reason was that they were waiting for the number to be reduced to seven or six. Erinn and Joe was searching for the hidden immunity idol when the found the statue. But, they didn't found the idol.

The Immunity Challenge was for each contestant to hold on to the pole for as long as they can. In the end, Tyson won individual immunity. Meanwhile, Joe's leg was still infected, and Jeff asked for medical attention.

Back at camp, some of the tribe wants Sierra gone while others wanted Brendan to go. Some of them, worried that Brendan might use the hidden immunity idol, figured to split the vote between Brendan and Sierra, and she will be voted out. That will be moot for another three days when Jeff told the tribe that Joe have to leave the show because his leg needs to be treated. If not, his leg could be amputated or worse. As a result, there will be no tribal council, which is a bummer for some members who already had a plan for tribal council.

I'm sad to see Joe, or anyone, go in that fashion.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!

[twinheart]

that Tyson guy has got to go - sooooo annoying - at least Coach provides some unintended humor!!

[Ballygrl]

Tyson and Coach are both horrible, no doubt they're going to get blindsided soon.

[Samm]

that Tyson guy has got to go - sooooo annoying - at least Coach provides some unintended humor!!

Quite the opposite... Coach is insufferably egotistic; Tyson has a very well developed sense of humor. I am actually beginning to like him.

[terri910]

I now have no use for Taj or Steven.

T.J. I figure just didn't know he had such an advocate in Brendan...but Taj surprised me.

......and -- ugh -- Coach is still there. He drives me nutz....

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After Joe was gone due to medical reasons, the Forza tribe was quiet. So, to lighten things up, Coach told a story about the time that how he was captured by an Amazon tribe and how he escaped. He didn't realized that the people were quiet during the whole story believing that he made the whole story up. He's definitely a character and entertaining.

Coach said that he wants either Brendon or Sierra gone since he considered himself as a "dragon slayer" and viewed Brendon as the dragon. Meanwhile, Erinn is viewed as a wild card as she was in her old tribe and in the new alliance.

The Immunity Challenge was for a team of three, and each have a row of color tiles. The object is for the teams to throw stones to the opposing teams' tiles. The winning team left standing wins a reward of white water river-rafting and a picnic. Also, they will pick which member of the opposing team to be on Exile Island alone. In the end, the black team of JT, Debbie, and Brendon won and picked Steven to go to Exile Island.

While at Exile Island, Steven struggled to light up a fire until it was night time.

During the picnic, Brendon told Debbie that he doesn't want JT to go home but instead wants Tyson, Coach, and Erinn to go.

The Immunity Challenge was for each contestant, attach to a rope, go through an obstacle course, and the first three to go through will go to the final stage where they have to go through a higher course. In the end, Tyson won immunity again.

Tyson wants to repeat the previous strategy of getting rid of Brendon by splitting the vote between him and Sierra. Meanwhile, Brendon and his alliance discussed of getting rid of Coach.

At tribal council, Coach talked about his numerous brushes with death. Again, he was entertaining.

In the end, Brendon was the latest contestant to be voted out and became the first member of the jury.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!

[Samm]

The idol holding quatrain screwed up... last night was the time to get rid of coach. They could have continued to string Brenden along (thinking he had the idol) and Sierra is no threat. Coach and Tyson are too ruthless and dangerous to be allowed to live. They will eat that foursome up if they get a hint of its existence. Besides, Coach is an extreme narcissist, egotistical, arrogant *******. He should not be allowed to exist on that basis alone.

[Ballygrl]

What an episode! finally that fool is blindsided and outta there!

[terri910]

What an episode! finally that fool is blindsided and outta there!
Tyson is worse than a fool, he's a mean-spirited, narcissistic ass.

I wish they had had replayed the scene of him saying (at the time talking about Sierra's excitement at being so close to winning the individual immunity) so sarcastically, "It's awesome to watch someone celebrate before the game is over" right before they counted the votes.

What an ass.

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After the latest tribal council where the Forza tribe blindsided Brendon, Sierra was worried about her stay in the tribe. She talked to Coach about this, and he went into a rant about the choices she made.

Coach celebrated Brendon's eviction by meditating in the water. Meanwhile, Sierra was still worrying about her status. Tyson couldn't cared less about her and told her she's the next to go.

The Reward Challenge had the tribe to be split up into two teams of four and raced two members at a time to get puzzle boards until they get all four. Then, they have to place the boards into the correct slots and have them arrange to connect the holes so they can see the vowels clearly. Later, they have to get the vowels on the board with the consonants to spell out the winning phrase. In the end, the Red Team of Debbie, Tyson, Erinn, and JT won the reward of a feast with the warriors performing a martial arts dance as entertainment. Also, they decided to send Steven to Exile Island. Jeff Probst asked Coach on how to feel losing despite all of his numerous experiences.

Over at Exile Island, Steven found out that there's no second Immunity Idol and have to spend time on the island.

After the feast, Erinn threw up. Then, back at Forza camp, Sierra cried and had words with Erinn over who are the liars in camp.

The Immunity Challenge took place in the pouring rain as the contestants played a simple version of shuffle board where the contestant whose puck is the closest to the center X wins. But, some of them had a choice of playing or having food. Each of them grabbed a rock from a bag and, if they want to play, they can show the hand containing the stone. If they want to eat, they can show the empty hand. Steven, JT, and Coach decided to eat. With her last puck, Sierra was the closest with one more player to play. She was already dancing and celebrating as if she already won. Some of the contestants were ****ed. In the end, Debbie won immunity.

While Sierra thinks she will be voted off, some of the members are thinking of voting off Tyson since he doesn't have immunity and poises as a strong threat. However, when asked about the possibility, Coach was upset and hopes that the tribe will keep its word and voted out Sierra.

During tribal council, Tyson said that he's not worried about being voted out. He and Sierra exchanged words about their thoughts about each other.

In the end, Tyson was blindsided as he was voted out and became the second member of the jury. Coach was definitely shocked.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!

[Ballygrl]

Tyson is worse than a fool, he's a mean-spirited, narcissistic ass.

I wish they had had replayed the scene of him saying (at the time talking about Sierra's excitement at being so close to winning the individual immunity) so sarcastically, "It's awesome to watch someone celebrate before the game is over" right before they counted the votes.

What an ass.

He really is mean, the funny thing though, I know I read somewhere that Tyson and Sierra are friends now, very strange.

[JimGP20]

With her last puck, Sierra was the closest with one more player to play. She was already dancing and celebrating as if she already won. Some of the contestants were ****ed. In the end, Debbie won immunity.



Although that's what Tyson said, it was clearly not the case. She was not doing any sort of victory dance, she was doing a nervous dance, hoping that the last player wouldn't beat her. It's like how fans are at the end of a close football game with their team needing one last play to win or lose..... some can't sit still out of nevousness. It was obvious that Sierra was nevous and not celebrating. If Tyson wasn't such an ass, he would have seen that clearly.

I stand corrected. I wrote what Tyson thought Sierra did.

[newyorkjetsfan]

This was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After Tyson was blindsiding in the last tribal council, Coach and Debbie were upset that they weren't told about this. But, they pretended that it was the right decision and kissed up to the people who voted against Tyson. They're worried that they might be voted out next, and Debbie doesn't trust J.T. and Stephen. They want to form an alliance with Erinn and Sierra.

The Reward Challenge was a test of how much the contestants knows about the tribe by answering questions. They have to answer what the tribe thinks the answer is. For each correct answer, one member chop a rope of the opposing contestant. Three chopped ropes and the bust crashed. In the end, Stephen wins and bring Taj and J.T. with him. The reward was a trip to a natural spring and a homemade dinner at a family's house. Also, he send Erinn to Exile Island.

Over at Exile Island, Erinn have to brave the rain.

Over dinner, Taj, Stephen, and J.T. were discussing over voting Debbie out.

Back at camp, Coach questioned Sierra's loyalty to her alliance when the discussion about joining Tyson and Debbie's alliance. Then, it was a war of words between her and Debbie/Coach.

When Taj, J.T., and Stephen came back, Coach and Debbie talked about what happened with Sierra while she gave her side of the story.

The Immunity Challenge was for each contestant to throw a hook to grab three bags. The first three to get three bags advance to the final round where they have to navigate a ball through a maze avoiding holes. In the end, Coach won immunity.

Back at the Torza camp, Coach and Debbie were arguing with Sierra over who started talks of Sierra joining their alliance. Sierra called Debbie a liar.

At tribal council, the discussion was about the pressure the game had on the tribe. During Coach's speech, Sierra rolled her eyes and talk about the disagreement she had with Coach and Debbie. Coach accused Sierra of questioning his integrity and honesty but willing to forgive her.

In the end, Sierra was voted out and became the third member of the jury. There was one vote for Stephen by Erinn.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY!!!!!!

[ImNewHere]

Nobody will survive this season of Survivor. They'll all get voted off the island by the swine flu.

[terri910]

Will someone pleeeeeeeeeease get rid of Coach?

[newyorkjetsfan]

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After Tribal Council, Coach was ****ed about one person voted to have Stephen out. However, Debbie is started to be annoyed by his behavior and worried that it cast a negative light on her in front of the other contestants. So, she decided to ditch Coach and asked J.T. and Stephen to join their alliance to vote out Coach. However, Stephen and J.T. were skeptical about her move.

It was Survivor Auction where the contestants bid on some items. Some of the items that were bought were chicken hearts by Steven and a video message from him that was bought by Taj. The contestants gave money to her to bid on the message, and she cried when she listened to the message from her husband Eddie George and family. He finished by saying that he would see her back at camp. There's was a catch, she's the only contestant to see a loved one in camp unless she makes a sacrifice. She could keep the prize or go to Exile Island with her husband so the rest can have time at camp with their loved ones. Of course, she chose to spend time at Exile Island with Eddie.

The contestants spent some quality time with their loved ones and talked about what happened at camp. Meanwhile, over at Exile Island, Taj showed Eddie how she made fire.

After the loved ones are gone, Debbie told Stephen and J.T. that she would happily be in third as long as Coach, Erinn, and Taj are gone. Meanwhile, Coach told his alliance that he wants Taj gone.

The Immunity Challenge had the contestants go through an obstacle course to reach to a table and memorize ten math symbols that will be rotating and head back to place the symbols in the right places to solve a math equation. In the end, Stephen won immunity after having one look of the math symbols.

Back at camp, J.T. and Stephen were discussing what's best for their alliance: dumping Debbie or Coach.

At tribal council, Coach talked about how he trusted Debbie completely

However, she voted to get rid of Coach. Unfortunately for Debbie, she was the latest contestant to be voted out and became a new member of the jury.

CATCH YOU THURSDAY

[Samm]

Nobody will survive this season of Survivor. They'll all get voted off the island by the swine flu.

That would be next season of Survivor... This season was filmed last fall. ;)

[Ballygrl]

This has been a really good season of Survivor, my only complaint? I miss my Ozzy fix, they really need to make him a regular Survivor contestant LOL.

[Ballygrl]

Will someone pleeeeeeeeeease get rid of Coach?

:))

He has to be 1 of the most annoying people, and he's a Maestro too. I can't help but think of the Seinfeld episode whenever I see him.

Can you imagine being a player on his soccer team? :eek:

[JimGP20]

Can you imagine being a player on his soccer team? :eek:

There are no players.... only warriors. I laughed last night when Jeff made fun of him and his adventure stories at Tribal Council. :lol:

[Ballygrl]

Can you imagine being a player on his soccer team? :eek:

I think he lost his job as a Coach. I know I read that after this season started.

I've decided Coach has his own "reality" that has no true connection to actual reality.

Example: denying that he'd done and said what Sierra told everyone he'd done and said. I think he honestly believed himself when he denied it.

Example: he tells his "loved one" (see more on that below) that "Know what they call me? Dragonslayer!"....uhhhhh, no, Coach, YOU call you Dragonslayer. Everyone else calls you annoying!

And talking about the loved ones....everyone else has a spouse, a parent, a sibling visiting them....coach has.....his assistant coach??!!!?? That's the closest relationship you have? Sad. And, I'm sorry, but when the assistant coach was helping Coach with those...ummm....exercises, I turned to my husband and said (and I blame hannity.com for me even knowing to say it) "That's ghey." Right before Coach finally figured out it might be a good idea to announce that there was nothing sexual going on. I laughed because it was if Coach heard me....then I said, "Methinks he doth protest too much!"

Mark my words, they are going to be sorry they didn't take him out sooner. He CAN win immunity and screw them up!

For a coach he stinks at immunity LOL. I did feel sorry for him that he had no 1 close visiting him though. :(

It was a good episode of Survivor: Tocantins.

After the last tribal council, Coach was shocked that he is still around. Then, J.T. and Stephen told him that his ally Debbie wrote his name down, and he was stunned. He's glad that the game is played with honesty and truth. He tried to join in an alliance with J.T. and Stephen and begged them not send him to Exile Island because of his asthma and back problems. He instead wants them to put Erinn or Taj on Exile Island.

The Reward Challenge had the contestants race through a maze and built a pole long enough to grab a sandbag. Then, they have to swing the bag to knock down three targets to raise the flag. The catch is that the feet will be shackled together. The reward is an overnight stay at the Governor's Retreat with dinner, bath, and beds. In the end, J.T. won and sends Coach to Exile Island and pick Stephen to go to the retreat with him.

Coach said that he plans to meditate there and won't eat there. Then, Erinn have to open her big mouth and called out Coach in front of everyone by saying that he plans to put himself in the worst position to lose the Immunity Challenge and make him look weak. Bad move. Then, Coach made a long speech about what he thinks.

On at Exile Island, Coach did meditate and prepared himself to be with Earth.

J.T. and Stephen had their dinner at the retreat and were shocked when they saw themselves in the mirror.

Before the Immunity Challenge, Coach showed up and looked like Jesus Christ.

The Challenge was for the contestants to brace themselves between two walls and have their feet on the foot holes. Every 15 minutes, the contestants have to go to a smaller foot hole. In the end, it was between Coach and J.T. After Coach stepped down, J.T. won immunity. Coach suffered from back spasms but didn't want medical attention.

Over at camp, Erinn and Taj were skeptical over the extents on his injuries because they saw him walking. Meanwhile, Stephen wasn't sure if he wants to vote out Coach or Erinn. J.T. wants to get rid of Erinn because of her outburst at Coach prior to him going to Exile Island.

At tribal council, Erinn said Coach rubbed her the wrong way with his saying that he's looking forward to Exile Island while she had a miserable experience there. Prior to the vote, Coach made a poem, and it was funny watching shots of the contestants laying down while hearing him speak.

In the end, Coach was voted out by a 3 - 2 margin with Stephen voted to expel him.

Coach was entertaining to watch and hear.

CATCH YOU SUNDAY FOR THE FINALE!!!!

Will someone pleeeeeeeeeease get rid of Coach?

It was a great finale of Survivor: Tocantins.

After the last tribal council, Erinn was worried because she's the only Timbira member left.

The Immunity Challenge had the contestants race through a tranachula-shaped obstacle course and go through three stations to get three bags of puzzle pieces. Then, they have to arrange the pieces to complete a web puzzle. In the end, J.T. won immunity.

Back at camp, Erinn tried to convince J.T. and Stephen that Taj stands a good chance of winning the jury votes because she was so likable. That led the two men to consider voting out Taj.

Over at tribal council, the four members discuss having three Jalapao members compared to one Timbira member, consider there were more Timbira members than Jalapao. In the end, Taj was blind-sided by Stephen and J.T. as she was voted out.

Stephen and J.T. believed that they have a better shot of beating Erinn in the last challenge, but they really can't stand her talking and yapping. However, she believed that she's in the best position because she thinks that Stephen and J.T. don't want to face each other in the final tribal council.

The three members took to the Torches of Fallen Comrades to remember past contestants this season.

The final Immunity Challenge had the contestants to drop a ball down a chute and catch it. Then, they have to repeat the process in the opposite direction. Every few minutes, there will be more balls. If you drop a ball, you're eliminated. In addition, they have to do this with one hand behind their backs. In the end, J.T. won the final immunity.

Erinn tried to convince J.T. to pick her for the final two by saying that most people in the jury will be upset that she outlasted them. Plus, she told him that Stephen told her that he would take her in the final two.

At tribal council, the question for J.T. is that should he stick with loyalty and pick Stephen or go with strategy with Erinn. To add even more pressure, Stephen reminded J.T. that he promised him breakfast. In the end, he voted off Erinn.

After the final breakfast, the two friends headed to the final tribal council where the jury members get to ask them the questions:

1. Brenden asked Stephen about the growth he had during the show with T.J. 2. Erin asked Stephen about his alliances and why J.T. thinks Stephen is the best player to pick.
3. Debbie asked J.T. about his honesty in the late stages of the game and who would Stephen pick for the final two. He said that he would pick Erinn.
4. Coach asked J.T. and Stephen about their noble warrior and honesty.
5. Sierra asked Stephen and J.T. on which is the strongest player.
6. Tyson asked J.T. on Stephen as an asset.
7. Taj, still upset by the back stab, asked J.T. on why is wasn't so hard to write down her name. Stephen said that he wanted to keep her around but J.T. wanted her to go. The two men had a disagreement over the issue.

At the reunion show, it was revealed that T.J. was the winner by an unanimous vote. It appears that the key of the J.T. and Stephen's alliance was J.T.'s relationship with Coach as he told him the happenings at camp. Jeff Probst kept a piece of J.T.'s tooth that was chipped during a challenge and gave it to his mom. HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Sierra, after the experience she had on the show, had found herself. Coach was offered to take a lie detector test but turned it down. Instead, he took one prior to the show and passed. His lady friend said that she's the dragon slayer. The Sprint Player of the season comes done to J.T., Taj, and Sierra. In the end, J.T. won the $100,000 prize.

In other reunion show news, Joe's leg got better and Sydney's modeling career is going good.

The next season of Survivor will be at Samona.

CATCH YOU NEXT SEASON!!!!

Coach was offered to take a lie detector test but turned it down. Instead, he took one prior to the show and passed.
I could have told you that Coach would pass a lie detector test. The man believes his version of reality, even if it has no relationship whatsoever to actual reality.

What I wanted, they didn't do, and that was to show clips of Coach (and Debbie) asking Sierra to align with them to vote out one of his "warrior" alliances (can't remember which one), and then him denying it when Sierra outed him.

I suspect they didn't do it because to be faced with evidence that his "reality" was false could make a man on the edge to go over the edge entirely, and "snap" on nationwide television! That would not do at all! :))

A friend of mine emails me today and says, "I can see someone giving Coach his own television show."

Saint preserve us. :eek:
