erin better win next time, i think it would be smart to vote taj off, but have serious doubt s about them managing to do that instead of erin when it came down to it.

They want to take taj to the final three to play the "she doesn't need the money" angle. Thank god that freaking drama queen is off though, I think he has douchebag down to a fine art.

So, at this point, who 'deserves' to win?

J.T. excelled at pretty much everything. He's told some lies that could hurt him at tribal although I sure don't think that anyone is gunning for him.

Stephen has been rather low key throughout the game and has actually been in control for some time IMO.

Taj has not ruffled a single feather that I recall. I don't know if she could put together a convincing argument at the end just because I don't think she's that convincing as a speaker.

Erinn has played a low key game also. Yeah, she called out Coach some, but I sure don't see it being held against her. He deserved that and more.

I got my wish tonight in this game - Coach is out. I have no real allegiance to any one of the last four and I think this will be an interesting finish.

I see why Stephen voted coach off.

Now JT is all alone and I see nearly everyone on the jury voting for him since he is so well liked and I am sure Stephen is hoping he does not win immunity the next time or he will more then likely win the money.

All I can say is this show will be boring now that Coach is gone even though it was getting old at the same time.

Also didn't Taj have the immunity idol so why not at least play it since it was the last time?

My wish was also granted last night. Coach's exit was a beautiful thing. Up till that point it looked like Stephen was playing for second. The look on JT's face after the vote, was just as priceless. He knows he's a marked man now.

Taj gave it to Stephen way, way back IIRC.

I really wish somebody would have played that fake immunity idol. How great would it have been to have them tryo to play it and Probst being like "Ummm..... yeah.... WTH is that?"

I dont think JT and Stephen didn't know that one was voting Coach and one was voting JT. There looked to be no surprise on either's face and it makes sense technically.

Stephen needs to hope he can take out JT next. He would win against Taj and Erin. Erin wont go home at all since shes not going to beat anyone in the finals.

I just watched the Ponderosa flicks on Coach. He's still being an ass with his attitude and principles, even at Ponderosa. The guy lost 31 pounds though! As a comparison, Debbie lost 6.

I also got the impression from watching the vids at Ponderosa that he plays for both teams.

Glad that clown is finally gone. I didn't want to have to spend an entire hour hearing about honor/warrior blah blah BS from that idiot. What's funny is that unlike many of these charlatains, he's not just putting up a smokescreen act to accomplish some goal, he actually seems to believe his own nonsense. :Q

So now JT is a marked man, and he knows it. Nobody wants to go with him to the finals, he knows they need to get rid of him now. It all comes down to the immunity challenge: if it's something physical, JT's got it in the bag. If not, it's up in the air.

.... and what's with Taj not playing the hidden immunity idol? Even if you don't think you have any reason to be concerned ("hey, blindsides never happen in this game!" ;)), it's of no further value, why not just play it and make 100% sure that you don't get voted off? Dumb move there.

Yeah that AssClown leaving made my week.

If JT makes it to the final 3 he will definitely be the winner. If the other 3 want a chance at winning they need to vote him out.

Taj gave the idol to Stephen way back in Ep. 3 or so. I'm sure he didn't want to use it and expose how close him and Taj are.

They should have tried to get JT and/or Stephen out before. Instead of voting coach or Debbie off, the others should have rallied, laid the cards on the table anr realized they had no chance of beating the Stephen/JT combo. There was ONE chance for a coup and they missed out.

What's this ponderosa stuff?


Regardless of how it ends, this was one of the few times that the smaller grouping after merger managed to take out the larger one, and a fairly powerful one at that.

Ponderosa is where the jury stays while the game is played out. After each episode there are a couple of vids on the CBS site of the newly eliminated person going to Ponderosa and such.

And I agree with everyone else - how the heck has NO one thought of getting rid of JT? I mean they've let him coast the past 5 weeks when he was obviously the strongest person. There's gotta be some voodoo magic he has cause everyone still loves him and is basically going to hand him the million. It's too late to vote him out now, unless Stephen stuns everyone and goes against him.

i didn't want to see coach go, he is such an entertaining character!

also, keeping coach around would have been the best idea for these people. nobody likes coach, so no one will give him a vote if he makes it to the finals.

if anyone was smart they would have tried to get rid of JT or Steven, or hell even Taj. I think Taj has a lot of friends.

I would think going with Erin and Coach would have been the best idea since neither of them are really liked that much. i mean if you went to the finals with coach and erin, you definitely have a lock on 1 vote with Sierra.

So the final's tonight. No wonder I've been hearing radio commercials for it.

Seems a bit premature with 4 players left. But then it usually does.

Stephen & J.T. seem to be masterminding the most so one of them should win IMO.

I'll have to wait for Hulu on this one. No doubt the outcome will be spoiled ahead of time.
