I’m done. I’m finished. I hate them all now. This season is OVER for me. ---

You said it. I especially hate Steven. He’s a piece of shit, IMHO. ---

At first I was angry, but Coach is too fun to get rid of just yet. We at least need him for the jury. Hopefully JT and Stephen will keep things mixed up and not just stick with Tyson/Coach til the end. How the hell did the biggest threat become the guy everyone wants to keep around? If they do a fan favorite, JT is a lock. ---

Ugh. Did you see Probst’s face when Coach was relaying his “story”? Priceless. My god what a douche. ---

Brendan is so freaking stupid. And Coach is mentally ill. ---

Brenden should have played his Idol. Taj and Steven should die the deaths of traitors. Coach should be institutionalized. ---

> [@jayjay](#): > > I’m done. I’m finished. I hate them all now. This season is OVER for me. Really? Then why post? I’m liking this season quite a bit, though I do admit that I rather dislike most of them. Even the producers hate Coach in a way. The episode was called “The Biggest Fraud in the Game” I so hope he loses and that it is a blindside. ---

How did you all see it an hour early??? I’m confused??? I thought right until the end that Coach was going home. I guess it is not surprising that the secret 4 alliance didn’t hold together. ---

I was really hoping Coach would win the reward just so we can see he has never been on the water (Speaking of which, has there been a single water based challenge this season?) I kept expecting Coach to suddenly say, “I was actually on Survivor before. They never aired it because everyone else died, so don’t bother looking it up.” ---

Coach annoys the hell out of me. I used to have a roommate that lied about absolutely anything and everything like that. Absolutely annoying. ---

I’m curious as to what would’ve happened if Tyson didn’t win immunity. Frankly, Coach isn’t that big of a threat, and pretty much everyone left would beat him in the end. But Tyson is a big threat, being the one who turned the tide against Jalapao and has already won two immunities. I really hope it’s JT and Stephen in the end. ---

Ugh, I so wanted Coach to go. His treatment of Sierra irks me to no end (and the previews made me feel a little queasy, blargh). His storytelling, however, was bizarre. Can’t wait for the next installment of “The Surprising Adventures of Baron Coachausen.” And “We’ve never done this before.” “I have.” Ha! What a nut. ---

What the hell does “Be the wizard,” mean anyway? The look on Coach’s face, after Probst said his name the second time, was priceless. ---

Coach said something about Brendon being the wizard man of the mountain… or something. It made absolutely no sense. Then again, nothing he says makes sense. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-4-16/493359.md?page=2)
