Well, it’s Thursday, which means it is time for Survivor again.
I hate guys like Coach, who fail to realize that if they were in the same position, they would not do better. I assume he will be ranting about the directions that were given during the reward challenge.
Jeff was not helpful with his comments during the reward challenge.
Wow, was I wrong. Coach handled that better than expected.
He’s still a gigantic TOOOOOOOL! “I was giving my tribe orders through my eyes on the truck ride in!” TOOL!
I’m getting very tired of his Steven-Segal-before-he-turned-into-Jim-Belushi face.
Oh, and…SHUT UP, PROBST! What the hell is the use of trying to put together a secret strategy if you’re going to be nudging the rest of their tribes in the ribs every damn time. “Didja notice that? Huh? Didja?” Fuck you!
Poor poor Jerry, I was rooting for him in the beginning. It was the best idea to get rid of him though.
I’m not so sure. He was getting better and would prove to be strong in the long run(possibly anyway).
I really wanted him to win.
Sigh, another pre-merge episode.
Coach is just un-fucking-believable. The way he aped Erinn was very weird once, but he did it again for Tyson and it was creepy as hell. I’m guessing that Coach makes the merge, and runs quickly into a group of people who aren’t buying his shit and give him the heave-ho. I can dream, right?
My wife and I agreed last week that Tyson looks like a serial killer. This week we nicknamed him “Assistant Creep”. His Coach-sycophant act is just scary weird. I really couldn’t tell if he was talking ironically about being The Maestro’s right-hand guy, but toward the end of his meth-addict coach-speech I thought he really was buying into the Coach Legend. This is so far off the deep end I just have trouble believing it, but apparently its true.
Bon Voyage Jerry. You seem like a cool guy, and I had hopes that you’d stick around and be really interesting. C’est la vie.
I did too, but he was so sick he could barely stand the day after the challenge. And Erinn was practically singlehandedly winning the block puzzle under Coach cockblocked her (because he’s a cock and said “I don’t think this block goes there.”).
The man lives in his own little world (“I was giving everyone directions with my eyes!” :rolleyes:) and isn’t long for this game.
Oh god, I was trying to forget that moment. The hell?
I was almost expecting steam to come out of Coach’s ears when Erinn suggested that Brendan would be the best leader. And she was absolutely right of course. Of course, little do they know that Brendan is building what could be a powerhouse of an alliance if it makes it to the merge. It seems like it could be the perfect combination of various player types (Brendan: the physical threat and nice guy, Taj: The sweet mother figure, Sierra: The skirt on by girl who is smarter than she shows, and Steven: The awkward guy that no one has any problems with.) Is Steven also the one who was making friends with JT? (I’m still confused on who everyone is) I wonder if they will pull him in.
It looks like the two person exile is doing exactly what the producers hoped it would.
Also, as mush as I dislike Coach, I love Assistant Coach. The vibe I got from him is “Coach is so ridiculous that it’s funny and I’m just gonna go with it.”
Agreed. He’s letting Coach dig his own grave, but standing just far enough to the side (did you notice no one had a problem when he was nominated to be leader?) so the shit doesn’t hit him.
Wait, those were two different people (Brandon and Tyson), but still, everyone knows Coach is a joke and are keeping him around for the “Vote for Coach, not me!” factor.
I think you’re mixing up guys. Brendan is the guy who has been going to exile and was nominated to be the leader. The other guy (who’s name I can’t think of) is the one who wants to be the assistant coach. Nobody mentioned him to be the leader.
I dunno. I was thinking the same thing, and looked very carefully for a :rolleyes: or :dubious: when Tyson was talking about Coach, and never saw one. Which could be blamed on the editors, but at this point Tyson, to me, seems like corn-fed Coach-Sycophant. YMdidV. 
That goes on the list of the top ten all-time most deluded things any wannabe leader has ever said on this show. I giggled delightedly.
Any theories yet on why Jeff Probst is such a fan?
And I’m another one who really can’t tell whether Tyson is actually buying into Coach’s BS or if he’s just got a world-class deadpan. "And if I end up making it to the merge and Coach doesn’t, I’m going to make the new tribe call me ‘coach.’ " Uh … okay?
It was this comment here that solidified for me that he thinks coach is an ass and was making fun of him.
Let’s not forget Sandy’s “I’m a sex kitten” moment.
I’m a sexually active middle-aged woman and ***I ***was utterly skeeved out by that. shudder
Was I mistaken in my viewing or did she say that while she was kind of cuddling Spencer? Because if she was, that kitten’s really climbing up the wrong tree…
Coach is an asshat of the highest caliber that spurs debate and discussion and ratings. And he puts his foot in his mouth or says ridiculous things at TC (which only makes Probst’s job easier). Of course he’s a fan.
No, she was. I was focused much more on his (barely legal) age – is he gay? (Sorry, I’m still sorting out the various secondary characters.)
If things go to form, there will probably be a Tribe Shuffle in the next couple of weeks. That will put Coach in with some people who he hasn’t been playing, and I can see them having to deal with him until the merge because they keep winning challenges in spite of his “help.” At that point, everybody is going to be picking off their major opponents, knowing nobody will vote for Coach at the end.
He…could…go…all…the…way!
Well, he’s definitely legal. He’s 19. And yes, he is the only openly gay contestant this year. Well, openly to us. I don’t know if he’s shared that news with his tribemates yet.
