So frustrating, but at the same time, if they're thaaaat stupid and could care less about taking control of the game themselves, so be it.... JT/Stephen FTW!

Posts: 823 (05/07/09 11:39 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	i was getting a wee bit nervous when there was SO much talk from Stephen about the two of them running the game. That everyone was coming to them to beg for a stay of execution. Then when JT/Stephen were filling up the canteens, the cocky talk about how they have this game in the bag, that they're surprised no one is targetting them...it just seemed so much like a pride coming before the fall kind of editing. I was bracing myself for there to be an Erinn, Taj, Debbie vote for JT and poof, the game completely flips on its head.

Very smart! Stephen was getting the Yul edit. (Remember the S13 merge episode. Yul: "Now I'll never get a date." Parvati "Smart = sexy.") There is a theory in Cognitive Psychology about the Magical Number 7, and how the brain struggles to remember sequences much longer than that (so trying to recall all 10 is next to impossible). Timbira = Sugar Memorial Tribe, all trying to hand the game to JT. Did it even occurr to Debbie that Stephen, the real mastermind, might not like the idea of her handing immunity to JT at F3?

I didn't expect that from him. "If you can calculate this, thank a math teacher." Who is probably pulling her hair out right now. Yeah, Erinn is just sorta floating along out there. Does she think she has some kind of end deal, or is she just so happy not to be stuck with Timbira that she doesn't even care if she's only F4? They've done a good job this season of varying the individual immunity challenges. We've seen a lot of different people win one.

At least Brendan and Sierra imitated Coach's coat-thrown-over-the-shoulder look. If you watch the Ponderosa videos from last week when Sierra joined the boys, you can see them fashioning beaded feathers to put in their hair and planning to walk in ala Coach. And yeah, he's dumb enough to think it's meant to flatter him. I noticed that Stephen definitely thinks he and JT are F2 but he does always mention Taj and that the three of them have an alliance. JT only ever mentions Stephen so he might be willing to toss Taj at F4 in lieu of Erinn but it seems to me that would be silly. So unless Taj, Erinn and Coach do something to change things up, the entire jury will be made up of all of Timbira + 1 Jalapao. So yeah, I think we're on the verge of naming Timbira stupidest tribe ever. They are even stupider than the Marquesas four....

He had similar expressions and feelings when JT told him about Brendan wanting to play this game to take him to the end.... And look whats happened... both got the boot once Stephen found out. As much as I love JT, Stephen knocking him out at the Final 4 would be awesome!!!

On behalf of the Sucks community, I hereby designate Coach, Tyson, Debbie, Sierra and Brendan the "Timbira Five", in honour of the "Rotu Four".

Here here. And thank you for remembering that it was the "Rotu Four". I couldn't think of the tribe name to save my life. As much as I love JT, Stephen knocking him out at the Final 4 would be awesome!!! Not only would it be awesome, but unless Stephen himself were to somehow leave the game before F2, it would guarantee his win. Stephen vs. Taj or Erinn, Stephen wins. Stephen vs. JT, probably JT wins. At this point my inclination is to believe that it will wind up being the Jalapao three as F3. Although I have a few hinkies that there could be an F4 tiebreaker where Stephen and Taj face off in a firemaking challenge. I wondered why they had to show us that Eddie started the fire on Exile island, not Taj, but we all know Stephen started a fire at Exile.

As much as I love JT, Stephen knocking him out at the Final 4 would be awesome!!! mmmhmmm. How silly was that for Debbie to be talking to BOTH Stephen and JT and verbally choose one over the other like that? Hellooooo how do you think Stephen is going to feel after that? First Brendan, now Debbie. Of the 5 remaining, it is with JT that Coach first made his dealings. Also it is with JT that Erinn first opted to flip over to Jalapao. Stephen would be silly to allow either of those two into F3 as they'd side with JT. But, if we remember back to the start, Taj was with Stephen first and only brought in JT when she had to. So if she's F3, i would think she'd side with Stephen over JT. After seeing all this JT love, i really can't see how Stephen would take JT to F2 if he had the chance to vote him out. oh, and a side note.. when stephen won the IC last night, we heard JT's confessional about how with Stephen winning, it's as if JT had won as well. All for 1 and 1 for all it seems. But we didn't hear any sort of confessional from Stephen backing up that train of thought did we?

But didn't we see Taj start a fire on her lap at the beginning of the show? Can't get more comfortable with fire than that.

However, I vowed never to take another math course as long as I lived once I left Mr. DeGroat's HS math class, so I think everything I knew apart from add, subtract, divide, multiply has long since been overwritten with more important (fun) stuff, like weekly speculation on what CBS press photos reveal. ;)
