Survivor-Tocantins***Winner is named in thread***

Jeff's blogs are always so funny. I liked that part too.....the person at the desk next to me must think I am crazy because I busted up.

They also have blogs from Phil (Amazing Race) and Carrie Ann (DWTS) that are good as well. And their Idol coverage is top notch. I am a TV Junkie and really love ew.com!

I'm enjoying the Ponderosa footage -- Tyson is almost likeable!! What a change in personalities once they hit camp!

 

[korzmom]

does anyone think coach is maybe insane?? i mean litterally? he reminds me of steven seagal and all this dragonslayer crap is getting so annoying..debbie on the other hand is just horrible,i cant believe shes a elementary school principal. i wish she would have gone rather than sieera,hopefully jt will see that they made a mistake and clue in stephen who apparently doesnt have a mind of his own.

I don't remember any player who was apparently hated as much as Sierra. I felt sorry for her tonight and was really hoping she would be spared. She didn't seem to have a team or any friends there.

And I really don't get why. She seemed to start off on the wrong foot from day one and never recovered. But, I may be missing something, I just don't get what she ever did that brought on so much animosity. Of course as the game progressed and she was forced into the loner position, her reactions of course made things worse, but it was only a cause and effect situation. What did she ever do to deserve it all? I can't wait to hear her speech at the final tribal council. And this is one time I may watch the videos to see her interaction with Tyson.

Just finished watching all the Ponderosa stuff.... and glad to see that they all seem like nice people. I really hope at the reunion show that they address what the whole deal with Sierra was, because she seemed to be acting the same on the show as at Ponderosa, yet no one has a problem with her there.

Love the feathers for Coach....I can't believe they allowed them to where that to the next Tribal. THat should be funny to watch!

Erinn wrote his name down...why? I have NO idea where that came from! I guess she was mad at him for sending her to Exile instead of on the reward.

I thought it was "never again" send me to Exile Island, but then I read the next post.

I have a feeling it was because she told Sierra, "I'm not writing your name down," but she then didn't want to write down Debbie's either because it would hurt her alliance. I am not saying it was a smart move, but I have a feeling that's what she was doing.

That makes sense, actually.

I think voting off Sierra may be a really big mistake. Forget about the end game. Assume JT, Stephen and Taj stay together and Coach, and Debbie bring Erinn over to their side? You have a dead heat - three to three. JT/Stephen/Taj,, could have easily gotten Sierra to vote with them to get rid of Coach (assuming they got rid of Debbie last night), but now they have a big hill to climb.

Stephen reminds me a little of the other Rob on the season with Boston Rob (can't remember his name right now).

I get it about the editing, and admit there's always way more going on than we see. However, what was said by the other people WAS SAID...can't deny what's on tape...it's there. And it's bullying. I understand playing the game, lying, making alliances, breaking alliances, etc. I don't understand, and don't accept, making snide, nasty comments about people to their faces, which these people have done repeatedly to Sierra, in and out of tribal council. I guess I'm like Kathy Griffin...I talk about people behind their backs...it's called manners.

OMG, you're last comment seriously cracked me up!!

I'm guessing that she is so awful that their behavior towards her is understandable or even acceptable. How else could a group of people, of all different backgrounds, be so mean-spirited. It could very well be that she is so much of a pain that they are simply reacting to the way SHE treats THEM.

Debbie totally annoys me. With her years of experience in the real world, she should know better than to treat someone that young in the way she has.

I actually thought Sierra handled herself fairly well last night. I thought Debbie exhibited more "drama" than Sierra did. I am guessing they would have shown a little bit of Sierra's "nastiness" if it existed. I think I've already posted this, but their treatment of her reminds me of my chickens - they will peck a weak hen literally to death.

I hope Sierra has a strong support system to get over this.

 

[PatsMom]

I was kind of hoping that Sierra would hang in there a while longer. She handled herself well last night I thought. She didn't back down from confronting Coach and Debbie about their lies.

Debbie annoys me but not as much as Coach. At this point, DH and I are rooting for anyone but him to win!

Loved Jeff's blog. Thanks for the link.

Yup...they made a big mistake last night...they were only thinking of the quick fix and not the long run.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

So many times when I'm watching Survivor I think "Have these people never seen this show before??" Again, there's always the way editing presents things, but geez!

 

[sarasotamom]

For all of you who don't get the whole Sierra hating thing, remember this show is all about editing. I can't help but wonder just what a nasty person she must be to have around, why else would they have voted her off last night. It's obvious they dislike her so much that they got rid of her even though they knew she was telling the truth. I don't think JT, Stephen and Taj are bad people at all, I just think Sierra is that horrible and we're not seeing it because of the editing.

Taj did not vote for Sierra. She voted for Debbie. I think she felt sorry for Sierra. I really like Taj but I don't think she will go to the Final (3 or 2)? I really want Coach and Debbie voted out. They are both such liars.

Agreed...especially Debbie. God, she is awful.

Have I mentioned my blog...In it, Debbie is Andrea Zuckerman and Coach is the White Power Ranger. Doesn't make sense? Don't worry. It's not supposed to! Yay!

Just watched the newest "Ponderosa"... I LOVED IT!

I'm SO glad that they're all treating each other that way as opposed to the way the nasty jury treated some of the members last season.

I give a lot of credit to Brendan; I feel that he really set the tone for Ponderosa by the way he greeted Tyson immediately, when he arrived.

I hope it continues to go this way; watching Ponderosa last season was pretty sad when we realized that some of those snobby, nasty people really WERE that way, OUT of the game as well as in.

Where did you find the Ponderosa. Can you post the link?

I don't know how to link but just go to the CBS website under Survivor and you will see it as a tab across the top.

But that kind of reasoning is why we have cases of schoolyard bullying. The assumption here is that because the majority says she is an awful person, she must be. That is how bullying get started. The popular person decided he/she doesn't like someone and all his/her friends gang up on that person, becuase it is the 'popular' thing to do. I agree with another poster. If she was that god-awful, we would have seen SOME signs of it in the show. You can't edit that kind of consistent behavior out totally.

I agree.
