Lol, sorry for the confusion, I just meant if the tubes are narrow, the smaller people would possibly have an easier time getting through them. But I have no idea what size the tubes are relative to the size of the people.

It is possible that JT could win the last four immunity challenges.... not saying he does but he definitely could. It could make Stephen's desire to take out JT a moot point if JT is immune to the end.

It's...

JT goes on an immunity streak? Possibly fulfilling Stephen's comment that he made when they [JT/Stephen] were discussing the Tyson boot. Stephen said it was a good move because Tyson could go on an immunity streak and Stephen said [to JT] "I would rather see you go on an immunity streak." Does that come true? It is possible that JT could win the last four immunity challenges.... not saying he does but he definitely could. It could make Stephen's desire to take out JT...

We have seen Stephen ask Taj at least twice if they could trust or count on Erinn. Seems like something should come of this and perhaps involving Stephen.

I agree with Tubolar that Coach was the "weakest link"/ cancer in the tribe. Coach hadn't even gotten to camp on day one before he started causing divisions in his tribe. Brenden was the "enabler." By sitting on the sidelines and making the EI alliance rather than shoring up his own tribe mates first, he left himself exposed. Had Brenden been a bit more open and communicated more with Debbi and Tyson, who knows where this game would have gone.

We know...

Yeah, there is plenty of blame to go around on that tribe. Tyson and Debbie could also be blamed for aligning with Coach and letting him be the leader. Usually, it's a good strategy to let someone else be the leader
and have the target on their back. But to have that target, they need to be a threat of some sort, physically, mentally or socially. Coach was none of those. They should have recognized their mistake within
the first couple of days, dropped Coach, and rallied...

I think the blame can be placed almost entirely on coach. He started alienating tribe members who weren't in his alliance practically from day one - first Sierra, then Candice, Erinn and Brendan.

But yet, he has already outlasted almost everyone on his team. So perhaps, he chose a strategy which got him furthest in the game.

If one person gets "blame" for all of Timbira, I think it's Brendan and his hands-off management style. Ben was...

If the final three is Taj/JT/Stephen and Stephen has a final two alliance with both Taj and JT. He [Stephen] may decide to step out of the challenge because then he will not be the one picking who is in the final two thereby breaking his promise to other person he has made a "final two" promise with. ... which could translate into the tie-breaking vote being cast Stephens way.

Orange and Trix - I am with both of you in this one. Both of your posts ^^^ pretty articulate what I think/feel about a final 3 of Stephen/Taj/JT. No matter how its done and you may not agree with the "tactics" employed but getting to the end is a feat that deserves kudos. The Jollypals have played a flawless game to date and have earned their places in Survivor lore. No one can take that away from them.
