Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Ads no mass Remove this ad I posted this in the Sierra love thread but realised it was kinda thread hijacking I thought I'd start a new topic involving what strategy each person could/should use from this point on in the game to win (or as get as far as they can, Sierra and Coach have no hope of actually winning). So, seeing as I've already written it, I'll say what I think Erinn, Taj and Sierra should do: I think Erinn's ideal game plan from now on would be to stick with Jalapao to vote off Debbie next (just to completely abolish any chance Timbira has of scrambling, and Debbie's more of a strategy threat than Coach). She should then approach Taj and push the fact that Stephen and JT are close as fuck and would never choose her over each other, and the likelihood is that JT would win the last IC challenge so she will not make final 2. Taj isn't dumb and probably realises this already, so she should know that her only real option is to turn on JT and Stephen at F5. Once Erinn and Taj align, they should then approach Sierra and be like "look, you're next out, but if you align with us then we'll give you Taj's immunity idol to save you and get Coach out". So JT, Stephen and Coach (and maybe Erinn and Taj although it doesn't really matter) will vote for Sierra but Sierra uses the idol and votes Coach. So Coach is out next and then F5 is Stephen, JT, Erinn, Taj and Sierra. They then pick off JT and then Stephen. Taj or Erinn will win likely win immunity and take Sierra to F2, who both of them will easily beat. I think Taj will still be able to win Stephen and JTs vote on the jury even if she does fuck them over because both of them strike me as people who respect good strategy. Obviously there are a million possible ways this game could play out. I just think this would be the smartest and only way the girls could get the F2. As much as I want Stephen to win, Stephen and JT strolling to F2 would be ridiculously boring. So yeah, what do you all think the strategy play from here on out should go like?

The next round, Coach and Debbie will feel comfortable with Erinn and JT by thinking Taj is leaving, and Coach gets blindsided in hilarious fashion. Debbie leaves next, and Erinn follows suit. JT wins the final challenge and takes Stephen to the end over Taj. There's no way in hell that will happen because Debbie "Sierra" Downer is such a huge underdog!!!?@?#@?! and Coach is the most entertaining thing to hit Survivor since Rupert himself!

Erinn: Hide behind males. Sierra: Get the swine flu. Coach: Meditate. Looks like a kickass season ending in the works!!

She's delusional if she thinks she does. Stephen has it and has always had it since the moment they found it, because Taj was stupid enough to give it to him for "safe keeping". Second flaw. Erinn is the only one of those women who I think is even remotely intelligent enough to try to make any sort of moves like that. Plus, I'm 95% positive that Erinn and Sierra would go with the Pao 3 over Debbie or Coach.

Posts: 1151 (04/27/09 06:55 AM) I'm with STUPID! Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Ads no mass Remove this ad We don't actually KNOW where the idol is at the moment do we? Last time we saw it, it was sitting in a random fishing bag where JT found it. I can't remember where they put it after that/if we even got to see where it went. But it definitely hasn't been in Stephen's pocket this entire time. She'll at least know where it is. I'm sure she could secretly take it without Stephen or JT noticing. Erinn's the only one who really needs to do the work. Well, and Taj. But it doesn't exactly take a lot of brain power to figure out that Taj will not get to F2 if she's in F3 with JT and Stephen (unless she miraculously wins final IC). She'll be thinking about opportunities available to her that would mean she could make F2 and if Erinn takes the initiative to offer her that plan, I could see it happening. And yeah, that plan means that Erinn and Sierra would go with Pao over Timbira.

If you give the idol to someone for "safe keeping" you better trust them because the person who possesses it owns it. Period. The only exception is theft -you cannot steal the idol from someone." - Jeff Probst (http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/03/jeff-probst-b-1.html#more) Proof 2: "So... I am hoping to find a clue to a new idol, and I would end up with two idols in my possession." - Stephen, episode 10, while he's on Exile I think the only reason we haven't seen anything from the idol lately is because it absolutely does not matter right now because the Pao 3 have had an improbable stranglehold on the game since the merge. Plus, since Taj gave Stephen the idol for "safe keeping", no way in hell is she going to ask him for it back to execute a plan that goes against his plans. Also, I think you're right to say that JT would take Stephen to F2, but I absolutely do not think Stephen would take JT. I would like to see Stephen stab JT in the back at F4.

I thought it was pretty clear take no one simply can take or steal an Immuity Idol. Only the person who has it can give it to someone else. So the real question is who's idol is it? Stephen and Taj found it together but Taj 'gave' it to Stephen. It will b an interesting ruling if Taj take it from Stephen and trys to use it. Other then that I think the idea of Tja and Erin bringing in Sierra to beat TJ,Stephen makes sense. Another question however is why would Stephen want to go with TJ to the F2? Wouldn't bring Erinn or Taj give him better chance to win?

If she doesn't have it, I kinda meant for her to just go and get it from wherever it is. But yeah, I guess I always thought it was Taj's so her taking it would be no big deal. I think that if she take it from wherever it is and give it to Sierra, it would be legitimate as there's no way you can really prove it either way. But if she did it and it wasn't allowed, that'd be even more epic. As for who would pick who in final 2, it is a pretty hard thing to predict with Stephen. I definitely 100% think JT would pick Stephen. I'm not so sure about Stephen, but I'm not as convinced as you are that he wouldn't pick JT. The part of me that really likes Stephen hopes that he would pick whoever the other person was (Taj?) because winning against JT would be almost impossible. But then, if you think about the jury, it is not SO unbelievable that Stephen could perhaps beat JT. Brendan would probably vote JT, as would Erinn and Debbie I imagine. But I think Tyson would appreciate Stephen's gameplay and vote him, Coach would be all "wah wah JT betrayed me, you were supposed to be a good ole boy" and give his vote to Stephen, I think Taj would give her vote to Stephen over JT because she's closer to him than JT. Sierra could really go either way though, I mean she did say at one point she really liked JT, but he called her a lying bitch so something could've happened between them that we don't know about. I dunno, I just don't think Stephen has ABSOLUTELY ZERO NO CHANCE against JT. And if he does take Taj to the finals, I don't think he'd get JTs vote. Whereas if he took JT, I think he'd get Taj's.

Taj isn't dumb and probably realises this already, so she should know that her only real option is to turn on JT and Stephen at F5. The flaw in your plan is that Taj is a millionaire and doesn't care that much about winning and would happily give the game to her "friends". She's totally loyal to JT and thinks he deserves to win. This is why casting millionaires is so wrong. She needs to take out JT and then convince everyone to pretend they are voting out Stephen but really vote Taj. Then Stephen plays the idol and Taj is gone. Then she can work with Stephen and Sierra to get rid of Debbie if possible (although Sierra might fuck it up by turning her into Coach and whimpering about loyalty). That would give her an awesome chance if the final 3 were her, Coach and Sierra although the stupid jury might still like those two more than her. (sigh) There is unfortunately too much potential if she makes big moves for the others to suddenly turn on her.

But if she did it and it wasn't allowed, that'd be even more epic. gervasemyman, tacobellcanon already gave you the explanation. From Jeff's blog. hhttp://popwatch.ew.com/po...eff-probst-b-1.html#more INSIGHT: Within the rules of Survivor, Taj has absolutely zero claim to the idol. If you give the idol to someone for "safe keeping" you better trust them because the person who possesses it owns it. Period. The only exception is theft -you cannot steal the idol from someone. So the moment Taj handed that idol to Stephen she gave away the single most powerful thing in the game* and trust me, Stephen is aware of this stroke of luck* So not matter what you think. Taj cannot use the Idol without Stephen's permission. Added note. I doubt Caoch with his warrior, mano on mano view of the game would vote for Stephen over JT. Coach's ego would not allow him to admit that little Stephen beat him. If JT wins Coach can talk about how he 'changed the game' so an alpha man would win. Also what about Stephen's game play would Tyson like over JT's game play. From Tyson's viewpoint they both played the same game. Remember much of Stephen's game play out of sight for most of other players. Like Coach, Tyson seems more likely to vote for who he sees as the stronger male, that means JT. So while Stephen would have a chance against JT he would have to make a good case for himself in the Final TC to beat him.

Stephen's not a pushover. He's just making everyone believe he's a pushover. I think his strategy might be working a little too well ... it's all a matter of whether or not he could make a jury believe he really actually manipulated the shit out of everyone out there.
