a quick framework subject to more info later.... i'd go with this:

Jalapao
F - JT, Joe*
M - Taj
D - Sydney
S - Stephen, Spencer
E - Sandy**, Carolina

*The little we saw of Joe was very fatherly in that he was reporting what went down between Carolina and the others, and there was a distinct attitude about "calming things down" that was more parental than son-like. Joe was also the one in charge of the compass and directions, before JT stepped in (so the struggle for FATHER begins).

**Sandy is definitely an E. She was called out by Jeff as Crazy and she agreed! Her tribe-mates have nick maned her "Psycho Sandy" and labelled her as anti-social. (with subtitles). She may have called herself "Mother", but she sure isn't acting like one. No nurturing, no care-taking, etc. Very self-centred.



Timbira
F - Jerry, Brendan*
M - Debbie (just an assumption based on age and that she's a principal, and she went to get water with her "kids")
D - Candace, Sierra, Erinn
S - Brendan, Tyson**
E - Coach, Tyson***

*Jerry is definitely a Father. His intro speech tells us this, but he also was shown to praise Sierra for all the work she did (it was subtitled when they arrived at camp). Brendan MAY be a Father, for a similar reason as Jerry (he hugged Sierra and said Thank You).... however we know very little about him, and since he's younger, he may slide into the Son role instead. I can see Jerry being a quiet Father like Bob was.

** The Sons. I think Tyson... as weird as he is, is actually a son. His main scene was involving the mother and the daughters and connecting with them. I haven't ruled out the E entirely, i think we need more from him still, but he just seems more son-like to me.... Brendan - once we know more about him - will likely fall into the son role. He wasn't shown too much... taking the lead ... or otherwise for that matter.

***Coach is pretty darn odd. Yes he's all about the game and survival, etc .... but did you listen to that speech! OMG...samurai warriors and heroic deaths! Yikes! he's a little out there ... too much so from a conventional father role. And a FATHER wouldn't write off a daughter the way Coach did. Instead the Father would PRAISE her for building the shelter....Just the way Jerry and Brendan did. Coach is too extreme to fill the Father role properly and i think he will be more successful as the E. I haven't written off Tyson yet for this role, but i feel like Tyson is more of a son. He was shown to be positively connecting with people, where all of Coach's connections were more strained (just like any good E)!


We don't know quite as much about Timbira simply because we didn't get to see them with a looming TC. That really tells us a lot about the tribe dynamics. Maybe next week??? With our luck, it'll be another Kota / Fang scenario.

FLF! you beat me too it, but you wrote pretty much everything I was going to say too.

Looks like the Episode 1 assessment was pretty darn close.

Tyson was totally son, hanging with dad Jerry. And Coach was way more Father -like...especially towards Sierra this time. Total agreement on Brendan. Definte son... and it looks like he's picked his mom (Taj)... i wonder how THAT"S gonna work out! And I'm not sure if there are any E's on Timbira, either....

But if Erinn doesn't figure out where she fits soon, she may very well end up E like Crystal & Courtney (ie. unresolved family position).... hmmm.... that i could see actually.
