Survivor: Tocantins Episode 10 Recap (live blog)

Posted on April 24, 2009

7:04: I think I just realized who Coach really is. I’m bursting, this is so perfect. It’s…well, let’s just say that he’s in this video:

Is that perfect or what? He’s totally Reed Rothchild! Coach with his line about benching (or pressing, I couldn’t quite hear) 300 pounds while Brendan couldn’t. What a jackass. Though I guess that means that “he’s got the touch.”

7:06: Speaking of jackasses, c’mon people – you really like Tyson? It’s one thing to win, it’s another to be a d*ck about it – rubbing it in Sierra’s face, he flat out told her that he didn’t think she was smart enough to have masterminded anything. Ugh. I’m officially 100% pro-J.T., and he’s not even all that perfect himself.

7:13: The good news? Coach doesn’t get to go on the Reward Challenge, which includes some Brazilian dance or something that Coach got a boner for. The bad news? Tyson does get to go. If Sierra had thought of it, she might’ve thrown the challenge on purpose…

7:17: OMG – Erinn was just allowed to speak via the confessional. I barely knew she was still on the show. At this stage in the game (8 people left), Erinn and Debbie have to be on the lower ranks of people we’ve ‘gotten to know’ on the show. I think Coach gets more screen time in one episode than both of them have gotten all season…combined.

7:20: Hey – how come the ‘natives’ are allowed to wear tank tops and sweats? Oh yeah – that’s right…Brazil isn’t a third-world country. The hut at the site of the challenge seems forced and fake all of a sudden.

7:22: Oh noes! Stephen is stuck on Exile “Island” again with no food or water. I hope he doesn’t die, as he feared the last time he was out there.

7:24: When they showed us the previews for this episode last week, what with Sierra crying and Tyson being a jerk, it made it seem like she was really a victim. But her little crying fit just now was totally unjustified. She chose the wrong side – does she really think she can convince half the people there to up and change their mind and hop onto her team? And then to pout about it? Gimme a break.

7:29: I wonder if Coach watches samurai movies or Ronin and just rolls his eyes the whole time?

7:30: Nice touch by the producers with the super-sad music playing during that heartfelt exchange between Coach and his soon-to-be-adopted daughter Sierra. Well, that is, before he told her to “fall on her sword.” I was almost in tears there…

7:35: Wow – that’s a heartbreaker. Playing shuffleboard, a novel challenge that we haven’t seen before, Sierra made a great play to put herself into the lead with only Debbie left to beat her, and beat her she did. Good drama there. But I do like that Tyson got pissed at the other guys for “not allowing him to eat.” Dude, you had a choice just like everyone else.

7:42: Yet another red herring? Stephen, Taj and Erinn start up the Boot Tyson talk. Goddamn it, I’m sick of being teased with these game-changing strategic moves that never happen. I know commentor Robb is with me. Let’s see this happen! (Of course, the fact that it’s Tyson they’re talking about just makes me want it to happen that much more, but that’s besides the point.)

7:43: Did J.T. just say “warrior alliance?” He’s just gone down a few pegs in my book. Then again, when talking about the potential of voting off Tyson (thereby disappointing Coach), he sure had a big ol’ smirk on his face. Like I said last week, please please please please please.

7:47: Hahaha…Taj just crossed her eyes at whatever garbage Coach was spewing. His feathers? Spiritual. Honorable. Beautiful. Godlike.

7:49: Note to Taj: wear glasses all the time. They look good.

7:51: Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! That was beautiful. Was it Erinn that came up with that plan? If so, she’s my new favorite player (of the week, anyway). Big, big ups to J.T., Taj, and Stephen as well. I CAN’T WAIT for Coachfest next week – it might be the best 60 minutes I’ve watched on TV this year. I’m giddy just to see the previews for next week, not to mention Tyson’s Loser speech.

7:56: I’m disappointed he wasn’t more bitter about being axed, though of course he got some Sierra digs in. Then again, he can call her dumb all day, all she’s gotta do is point to the scoreboard. Should make for an interesting Final Council and Reunion show. Stay tuned…
