They both created the exile alliance. Also, Brendan did NOTHING to assure Taj/Stephen of anything once they merged, and it almost got him voted out. Obviously Brendan is not that amazing Last Edited By: Mikester 04/10/09 11:41 AM. Edited 1 times.

I don't think he is concerned with them knowing.

Didn't all of Timbira except Samurai Steve like him enough to say he was their leader? Who is the "everybody" Probst is talking about here? The audience? Production staff? Or does he mean "Bena nd Tyson, everybody I am interested in"? ETA Surely Probst didn't really mean to say that it is amusing to him that Sierra hurt herself in the course of beating out JT, Brendan, Ben et al? Oh well, at least Joe is fine.

Had anyone else been chosen to go, they'd be in her spot. WHAT? This cross tribal alliance was her idea in the first place! TAJ is the one who convinced Brendan to let her see the clues. TAJ is the one who got Brendan to agree to an alliance. TAJ is the one who got Stephen on board. TAJ is the one who got Sierra on board when Brendan's dumb ass didn't. TAJ is the one who came up with the fake immunity idol to throw off Joe. LMAO @ the idea that this would've happened no matter who went to Exile - as if sharing HII clues with a fellow competitor is so common!

That is the whole reason they added this new "twist". It's not strategy. It's logic.

Or the fantasy/female side of him that we all know he has... Now he's SUDDENLY painting the formerly "wicked smart" Stephen with the RichardHatch tar-brush... Oh, please, Mary....And Hatch won, but over and over everybody kept saying how "evil" he was to throw everyone off...Back in the day... Jeff, we're wise to your adjectives...Get some new ones.

Posts: 4 (04/10/09 5:43 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	It seems like even Debbie and Erinn are tolerating Coach now. Brendan has to stop seperating he and Sierra from the rest of the group... (like when they went off to get mail together). The old group is definitely 4-2 split. All Brendan can hope for is that resurrecting the CTA will put him at even (or + 1 if we count JT). And Brendan is no Dragon. They shoud have named the episode "Crouching Tyson, Toothless Dragon". He's seemed completely neutered. I have an idea that Coach hates ~~Tyson~~ Brendan not so much for assuming the leadership role, but his more successful relationship with Sierra. Erinn may not like how close Sierra and JT are... there appears to be some crushed egos and feelings. And at first I didn't really understand all the hatred directed at Coach- he just seems delusional, but harmless. Now I think he may be sand-bagging the whole lung thing... that ups his physical game, but doesn't make him a "smart player". Odd that he's on a reality show when he's so obviously divorced from it! I now think that Tyson and Coach will self-implode but take Brendan with them. I just need to read through everyone's findings / speculation and see if I can come close. I swear, though, I am starting to think they are all a confederacy of dunces. They seem to all just wander around looking "duh" makng alliances with anything! Do any of them have an executable plan? I bet Jerry (Sarge) would've been able to pull something off. I also think Stephen is a non-threat (I gotta lotta limbs, here). I don't care if he's four-faced and six-legged; if people can't see through him like a window they deserve to be booted. I'd just love to have him across from me in a poker game. Fixed the name mix up again - sorry! :) Last Edited By: KungPaoKitty 04/10/09 7:55 PM. Edited 2 times.

Which is why I may cry to the heavens when Taj gets blindsided, but I won't exactly be mad about it. Seriously, where is all this brilliant strategy that I keep missing? What the fuck has Stephen EVER done other than roll along with JT and Taj - who I hope will compare notes and drop the dead weight?

Fixed the name mix up again - sorry! :) This is what I think is going to happen too. Timbra is going to end up being a victim of the alpha male fighting between Tyson/Coach/Brendan. Taj/Stephen/JT are smart enough They end up squandering their lead in numbers to let a possible final 3 of Taj/JT/Stephen make the end game (it is still possible that someone else slips into the end game Erinn/Debbie/Sierra).

I like the way you break down the "micro-alliances" in another post- it just depends on how they end up packaging them together. Does anyone know where the clip is of Sierra shouting, "You're all liars?" It was mentioned in another thread - but I couldn't find it.

Posts: 2443 (04/11/09 7:13 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	aka the bird promo - Tyson and his dead fish ftw I'm not sure Sierra is really angry there. The facial expression doesn't match the tone of voice somehow. More like they're sitting around and Ben tells yet another ridiculous but harmless story. She's frustrated at the unending stream of ridiculousness, not angry at that particular untrue story.
