Survivor - Coach Immuned, Sierra voted out

Immediately, when the episode began, Coach freaked out and began scrambling, wondering why his beloved warrior Tyson was voted off. This clearly left Stephan, JT, and Taj as the strongest three-some. Next, Debbie immediately points out to Coach that it’s possible the final five will be three Jalapao to Timbira’s two. So, Coach plans to make a deal with the other Timbira members, Sierra and Erinn. In the reward challenge, the survivors did a superlatives and chopping someone’s rope type challenge. After Sierra, Coach, Erinn, JT, Debbie, and Taj were out, Stephan won. He chose to exile Erinn and take Taj and JT on the reward.

Next, at the reward, Stephan, JT, and Taj were invited to a farm family dinner, and for the chance to literally, swim in their backyard, which was a lake. Meanwhile, Erinn is at exile island, all alone, starving and being very cold. Meanwhile, back at camp, Coach and Debbie are asking Sierra to get Timbira back together. Sierra says no, simply because they betrayed her. Later, back at camp, Coach and Debbie tell JT that Sierra tried to bring back the old Timbira. Then, Sierra tells Taj and Stephan that Coach and Debbie tried to get Timbira back together. JT, Taj, and Stephan try to feed information back together, discovering someone is a liar.

In the next immunity challenge, teams had to use a hook to retrieve three bags. The first three to do so will move onto the next round. In the next round, they will rotate a ball across a table maze. The first to finish that will win immunity. It was Coach, JT, and Debbie who won the first round. In the maze battle, Coach won, winning himself immunity, making his ego bigger. Before tribal council, Sierra argues with Debbie and Coach over who’s the real liar. This leaves Jalapao with a decision: to vote off Debbie, the liar, or Sierra, the drama mama. At Tribal Council, Erinn, who clearly is one of the longest lasting survivors to go this far without an alibi, personally voted for Stephan. However, Jalapao took Coach’s and Debbie’s side, and voted for Sierra.

I really can’t root for Erinn anymore, I mean, she’s there because other plans have happened. It would’ve been her, if Tyson didn’t get out. I can’t help but root for the Jalapao three, they clearly have this in the bag. It would almost be too good to be true to see them go against each other, especially after they were the minority of the merged tribe. What really makes Coach a loser and hypocrite is the fact he says he plays with honor and integrity, and lies. I actually almost want to see Coach in the final two, just to see what annoying crap he pulls out of a hat for the jury to hear, as long as he loses. He’d probably says stuff like “Umm, yeah, I slayed you all, and, umm, I’m the dragon slayer warrior who, umm, yeah, played, umm, with integrity, pride, and honesty.

So, from the previews, it will look like Debbie is turning on Coach. That’s’ actually pretty interesting, however, it’s probably basically the editors giving us some fake hope. I really doubt Erinn will win, and will probably not make the final three. I can pretty much see the final three being JT/Taj/Stephan, and either Stephan/JT or Stephan/Taj as final two.
