He should have decapitated Coach.

LIterally.

I think his win would have then been 6 to zero.

He should have told her that even JT was waffling on who to take so how the fuck would he know since he didnt have to make that decision. That and totally not tattled on JT at the end to taj it totally made him look petty

That really was his only shot, but still wouldn't have worked.

It's so much more fun to read the one lame posts of a lame ghost with a repulsive avatar.

In case you didn't notice I was being sarcastic.

Stephan came across as way too weasely. His performance at the finals made him very unlikeable. JT was as equally weasely but at least he came across as a genuine noble player.

I think Stephen lost the jury vote when they all saw him run for the first time.

He lost me as early as the F3 Tribal Council. Erinn made a much better case on why JT should bring her to the final two. Sthephen was absolutely pathetic. I think he lost the jury right there as well.

The instant he conceded half of everything strategy/gameplay wise to JT he was done.

Threw JT under the bus and made the case for himself as the mastermind EOT

Accept it. The best Stephen could have done is two votes. That's it. Nothing more.

i didn't like stephen. i liked JT. however, i somewhat agree with you that this would have been a far better season and finale if JT had beat stephen 4-3, or at least 5-2.

He'd have stood a chance if he'd have manned up and said what he felt. He sat there trying to please every jury member....he'd have done better if he'd have just said "I beat you..deal with it ya losers" His waffling and overexplaining everything cost him.

Don't you think their little bitchfight was enough of a closing statement?

am i the only one who was wondering what happened to JT's and Stephen's closing statements? they air it on every single show. maybe Stephen pleded with the jury to give the votes to JT because he valued his friendship and knew he was going to lose anyway. i just wondered with all the drama why not air their closing statments? they were probably good

I think JT won the vote the minute he smiled and said: "I'm not a Yale graduate or an English litt major."

3. Debbie's question: This, more than any other, was the question that killed Stephen. I think his best chance would have been to throw it back on Debbie and pointed out that, even if he had decided to take Erinn, it would have amounted to exactly the same strategy that she herself had used. She had stuck with her closest ally, (with whom they hopefully they would be remain great friends) until it was no longer possible to do so. 'At least', he could have told...

Developing a longer concentration span than a gnat's might come in useful one day. For example, you might have lasted longer than Erinn in that F3 IC.

Many feel that there was no way Stephen could have beaten JT. However, failing to get a single vote must rank as one of the worst ever jury performances. What could he have done to at least make it competitive?

Here's my take:

He should have started at the F3 TC. Instead of waffling on and making Probst say that he was making Erinn's case for her, he could have been decisive and point out that JT had no choice but to take him to F2. He could have pointed out...
