It's night 7. Tyson has left the building. Sierra has received the miracle she asked for. JT explains to Coach and Debbie why they weren't told that Tyson was going home. They both tell JT that it was a great idea and thank him for not telling them. Right. Privately Stephen tells us that they are just currying favour now that they realize they aren't in control, and wonders if he can trust saccharine smiles.
The next morning the general consensus seems to be that Sierra will be the next to go, followed by Erinn. Debbie nods in agreement but tells Coach that she is not happy about the Tyson incident. They wonder if they might be able to get Sierra and Erinn onside to renew the old Timbira tribe.
Dimples shows up in a rain-speckled powder blue shirt for the reward challenge. Each Survivor must privately answer a series of questions about their tribe mates. The ones who correctly guess the name mentioned most frequently for each question, get to take an ax and chop a rope belonging to another Survivor. Once all three of a Survivor's ropes have been chopped, a hammer falls on a ceramic figurine and crushes it to dust (this challenge was not suitable viewing for young children). Sierra is eliminated first and Stephen goes on to win reward. He elects to send Erinn to Exile Island so that no new person will have access to an immunity idol. He then picks JT and Taj to go with him for the reward. They go to a local farm where the family welcomes them to their home and serves them a meal. They then go to a nearby spring where there appears to be no bottom but the water pushes up from beneath and keeps them from sinking. In this odd, weightless environment they talk strategy. Meanwhile Erinn is on Exile Island. There is no new idol so her sacrifice is for nothing. It starts to rain before she can get a fire going. She sleeps in the rain and is hungry and miserable. Back at camp Coach and Debbie try to convince Sierra to reconnect their old alliance and hook up with Erinn to get an advantage over the old Jalapao tribe. Sierra is not feeling the love since, just the night before, Coach and Debbie voted for her. An indignant Coach questions her loyalty (?) and tells her she is done.
The next day Coach talks to JT and suggests that Sierra be the next to go, followed by Erinn and Taj. JT agrees. Meanwhile Sierra is talking to Stephen and telling him that she was approached by Debbie and coach to form an alliance with them. This is very different from Coach's story that Sierra approached them about an alliance. Stephen is worried about a Timbira resurgence and JT says he has a lot to think about. In the end though, JT and Stephen are leaning toward Sierra as being the one telling the truth.
The immunity challenge involves throwing a grappling hook and trying to hook a bag on a rope. The first three to collect three bags in this way move on to th final. JT, Coach and Debbie all move on. The next stage involves rolling a ball through a table maze. Coach uses his zen concentration to win this one, then brags about his skill until the others are rolling their eyes. Nevertheless, Coach wins reward and is safe for the time being. Back at camp Coach and Sierra have at it again and Sierra outs Coach in front of the others. Although Coach staunchly denies that he has ever lied, JT and Stephen both feel Sierra's story has a ring of truth to it. They wonder if the wiley Debbie should go home. On the other hand, Sierra creates drama. She is, according to Stephen, the nutty variable. At tribal council Sierra and Coach go at it again but when the votes are tabulated the nutty variable is sent packing. With Sierra goes Barb from our pool, who has dodged many bullets in this season of Survivor but couldn't do it tonight. Lorelee voted for Sierra to win so she is also abandoning all hope tonight.
There are now six survivors left Coach (Lisa), JT (Pat), Stephen(Lynn), Taj (Marie), Erinn(Chery and Selina) and Debbie (Jeff). Next week someone else will be snuffed. Here's hoping its not MY GUY (sigh). Until next week,
Outwit, Outplay, Outlast
Pat (aka JT Being in a position of power can be really confusing Thomas)
