Erinn vs. JT: I think Erinn gets Taj's vote for sure. I think she has at least a decent chance of getting Sierra to vote for her. Debbie's a long shot but I think Debbie would have approached the final TC with an open mind that she could have voted for either. Now, I'm going to propose something that some of you may not buy: would Coach have punished JT for taking the undeserving Erinn instead of Stephen? I don't think that Coach would ever have cast a pro-Erinn vote, but would he have cast a vote against JT in that scenario? My guess is that Erinn probably would have been able to make it a closer vote... I think she would have been tantalizingly close, but since JT (in my opinion) put on one of the most brilliant final TC performances ever seen, I think she'd have fallen a vote or two short of what she needed.

Erinn vs. Stephen: If he won the final TC and took her, he'd be in a much worse position than if she took him. If he took her, he'd lose a vote from Taj, he'd lose a vote from Coach, he'd lose Debbie and Sierra... he'd probably salvage Tyson's vote because he'd respect Stephen's more cutthroat gameplay, probably JT's, and possibly Brendan's. If she won and took him, he'd have a better shot at getting Coach's vote, and JT and Brendan would be more solid votes for him. Again, though, I think Stephen would have fought harder against Erinn than he did against JT.

To me, Taj is the real question mark to the jury. I think they liked her well enough, but did they see her as a strategist, as a warrior? Or would she have been viewed more the way Stephen was? My instinct is that she'd fare better than Stephen against a final jury, but would have never had a chance against JT. I just don't know if players like Coach and Tyson actually saw what a good game she played.
