I totally agree! Sierra should have stayed!

 

[skater]

I honestly don't get all the venom towards Sierra. I think this season has some of the nastiest playground bullies.

Coach is a condescending abusive SOB. Who exactly does he coach?? Those poor athletes. He is one slimy creep. Ick.

And Debbie, The "Educator"? Newsflash...there's no such word as SUPPOSABLY. OMG, when I hear that "word", I just cringe. And from a SCHOOL PRINCIPAL? I thought my head was going to explode. And talk about drama...she was rubbing her eyes with her little fists like a two year old.

This season has alternated between boring and obnoxious. Not my favorite season. The only person I'd be happy to see win would be Taj, and I don't see that happening. (I just loved when she held that crying child! )

ITA with your entire post. They were all bullies. And Debbie is extremely unlikeable IMO. This has been my least favorite season. I'm rooting for Taj too!

I too, don't get why they dislike Sierra. They should have gotten rid of Debbie. Debbie's a stronger player (competitions) than Sierra. Plus, you want to sit next to someone that everyone "hates" so you'll get the money. I can't stand Debbie or Coach.

I missed seeing who wrote down Stephen's name. I bet that will really throw him trying to figure it out

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.

 

[daughtersrus]

Ponderosa should be fun to watch!

Sierra and Tyson together again!

 

[puffkin]

I'll be interested to read Jeff's blog on EW.com today because I too don't get all the hatred towards Sierra. Debbie completely overreacted to Sierra the first time and I won't even waste time discussing Coach

I can't figure out why JT and Stephen are so intent on pairing up with Debbie and Coach....doesn't make sense. I like Taj the best right now and I am rooting for her.

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.

OMG! I was thinking the same thing..I hate when I hear that word too and she is a Principal..puh-lease! Nice example she's setting for her kids, with the lying and the drama and the crying..what a fake!

*Wah* She didn't lie--she never said that--or at least she doesn't "remember saying it". . . Either way, Sierra's version was correct and Coach/Debbie were the instigators--can't wait to see that one come back to bite them when the group gathering occurs at the end.

Put me in the group who doesn't get the hating on Sierra thing. Frankly, it's Coach and Debbie who have been lying throughout. . .that's how they took out Brendan too.

I would love to see Stephen and Taj in the final. . .

She is quite the actress, isn't she?

Yes. And I think that is going to cause drama when she gets back.

PLease post the link to the blog. Thanks!

I thought differently. I thought that she already knew who she was voting for when she said that to Sierra. As soon as I heard her say well I'm not voting for you, I yelled "OMG SHe's voting for Stephen!"

 

[Metro West]

Put me in the group who doesn't get the hating on Sierra thing.

Here's the thing they should have been thinking about last night...the end of the game. If they seem to hate Sierra so much and in the reward challenge said she would be most likely to squander the money, why on Earth wouldn't you want to get to the finals WITH her???? If everyone hates her, she wouldn't get any votes FOR the $$$.

Instead they went for the quick fix because of Coach and Debbie's whining so now they have done themselves a great disservice. I'm sure they'll see their mistake soon enough.

This happens every season, which leads me to believe, we see so little of what is actually happening there. Is there anyone watching on TV that wouldn't want Coach and Debbie out of there? I don't want Taj to win, as she has enough money anyway. But I won't be mad if she wins. As long as neither Coach or Debbie wins, I'll be happy.

 

[Tess]

The Sierra segments of Ponderosa are interesting. . .nothing too wowser, but I'm amazed she could be civil to Tyson the way he treated her.

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.

Same here.
I'm not a huge fan of anyone left, but as long as the winner is anyone other than Coach or Debbie, I'll be happy.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

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. I'm sitting in my office trying not to laugh out loud. Jeff is hilarious. My favorite part:

The Dragon Slayer won immunity. Oh man, he is so happy! I love it. Imagine how great a story this will become as it grows over the next 20 years.

Coach: ''And then, it was raining so hard that you literally could not see. Even Jeff said, 'It's raining so hard, I can't see.' But I dug deep and I used my ability to meditate while standing and that allowed me to see through the impenetrable rain. Something only Jedi masters can do.

''Then, I used my telepathic powers to guide the ball through a maze that was so difficult it had never been accomplished by anyone before. Even Jeff said so: 'This challenge is so difficult, no human being has ever accomplished it before!'

''When I finally won, Jeff tried to put the immunity necklace around my neck but due to me bench pressing 350 lb tree trunks earlier in the day my neck was too big for the necklace. That was another first. Even Jeff said as much, 'Wow, I've never seen a neck so big as a result of bench pressing 350 lb tree trunks that I can't get the necklace around. That's impressive.' ''
