More Poetry From Coach?? Sunday Brings CBS’ Three-Hour SURVIVOR TOCANTINS Finale!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
That poem from Coach on Thursday was CRAZY, man!
Who interrupts an network eviction ceremony with a poem?? The disgusted reaction from the jury, which has no use for Coach’s vote, was hilarious.
There was the timing of its recitation. Was Coach so certain of his doom? Or did he learn he was headed for eviction that night only when Jeff Probst allowed him his bizarre final moment as a player?
And don’t get me started on Coach’s inexplicable decision to go without food, water or sleep in the hours leading up to last week’s immunity challenge. Or his “dramatic” collapse upon losing to J.T.
I hope for his sake that a now-humbled Coach will take a very high road during the finalist interrogation, and I think he will.
We’ve still got three hours of “Survivor: Tocantins” ahead of us but only four contestants. Does this mean we’re only getting two finalists for the jury to vote on this season?
Predictions:
1) No matter what happens in the finale, I’m 100% convinced that either city slicker Stephen or cattle rancher J.T. will take home the million. Both men have now won individual immunities; Erinn and Taj have not. More importantly, both of the women see themselves as aligned with J.T. and Stephen, but the boys clearly share their deepest bond only with each other.
2) If hot hairdresser Erinn wins the next immunity, Grammy-nominated NFL bride Taj moves to the jury.
3) If any of the other three win the next immunity, Erinn moves to the jury.
4) If there’s a second immunity challenge and a woman wins it, Stephen moves to the jury and J.T. gets the million.
5) If the finalists are Stephen AND J.T., it all comes down to whether jury members’ respect for Stephen’s shady gameplay outweighs any anger they feel at being victimized by that gameplay.
Should be interesting. And even if it’s not we can still look forward to revisiting Erinn’s fabulous-babe competition at the evening-closing reunion show:
Sierra Reed, model
23, Los Angeles, CA
Sydney Wheeler, model
24, Raleigh, NC
Carolina Eastwood, bartender
26, West Hollywood, CA
Candace Smith, attorney
31, Dayton, OH
8 p.m. Sunday. CBS.

...but JT will...if Stephen doesn't pull something...which I think he might.
-
I loved me some Sugar.
-
We hardly knew ye.
-
It's funny, I've been watching this season since day one. I never miss an episode. Yet, the only woman (of the four pictured) that I remember was Sierra. She lasted longer than the other three, but was also more memorable (sometimes for the wrong reasons). Sydney? Carolina? Candace? I don't remember them at all. Not at all. Maybe it's that they look different cleaned up, or maybe they weren't memorable in any way. Whatever the case, I don't remember them. I'm sure there are pills for that.
-
for 2 reasons. 1) He was genuinely the funniest motherfucker on TV - without even knowing it! And 2) I'm a bit of a twat. Loved this series though, props to the producers for making one of the most consistly entertaining shows on the box, along side The Amazing Race. And I hate reality shows!
-
DOLLHOUSE!!! WOO HOO!!!!!
-
hopefully the immunity challenge(s) will be more mental and less physical, wherein she can even the odds with the boys. the only person who absolutely will not win is Erinn...I don't know how she stuck around as long as she did.
-
but Erin, Sierra and Carolina are still ridiculously hot. My guess is JT wins...
-
I still carry a torch for Amanda. I thought she was the bee's knees -- but I still have no idea how she could have booted not one but two finals! *sigh*
-
I agree with Incomplete Gamer. I too watched every episode and don't remember those other women. Also Sierra never looked as hot as her picture while she was out there. I vote for TJ to win.
-
I would have kept Sierra around as long as possible just for those cold nights of playing snuggle bunny. OK I'm a perv. (an autistic mud-fucking one at that, right ian216a?)
-
Hope he wins the America's Choice $100,000. Nobody else was as honorable or noble. The jury should still be able to vote for Coach because he's Coach.
-
Has everyone forgot? She is safe to at least the final three, and I would want her with me in the final 2. She is rich already and people will not vote for her because of that.
Also, I would have kept Coach as long as possible because everyone hates him (so they say) and I don't think the jury would vote him to win (unless he was up against Erin). -
Jeff said at the last tribal council that it was the last time to use the hidden idol. So Taj having it, well, is pointless.
-
... though that two-time player, Stephanie, was also delish.
-
so good i said it twice...
Just have survivor with nubile chicks - ratings gold... -
I usually fast forward those unless they're something special. After years of watching this and Road Rules/Challenge/whatever (when MTV didn't suck) shit gets tedious.
-
Just to throw off future survivors. I think they are all counting on it because of what's happened in past seasons.
-
you left us too soon!
-
I would snap up Coach in heart beat and build a show around him where he gets put in survival situations, a la Survivor Man. First episode, he gets drop by helicopter (of course) deep in the Amazon, with minimal supplies and a canoe. Then just say see ya when you make it to civilization. People can make bets on how long it would take him to hit the "come get me button" on his GPS. I would end the episodes with "Coach's words of inspiration and Wisdom".
-
Not just on looks but her general disposition and personality. You gotta love Coach, though. Even if he is the biggest douche bag in years on the show, he is highly entertaining and the way CBS mocked him with how the camera shot him and the thunderous music that played over his meditation moments was hilarious. How no one called him out on his preposterous stories is beyong me.
-
Where's the girl with the cock-eyed grin and the low cut blouse reading the newspaper?
-
She seemed nice and looked great. I don't know why she gets bagged on. She did fairly well in the challenges.
-
Those are the only survivors that I really liked this season. The last Coach Wade episode will go down as one of the top 3 survivor episodes in history. The man more than deserves a spot in any future all-star season.
-
are you following me? Good point well made over the wacky Yank remark though. And I would certainly agree with you that sharing body heat with Sierra is a step up from fucking mud. And Coach has to get that public vote - would be a crime to give it to anyone else. I mean come on - he's the motherfucking DRAGONSLAYER!! (albeit a dragonslayer that took 5 weeks to notice that he was just being ignored in controlling the council votes ever after they kicked his sidekick Tyson out on his ass at the EARLIEST opportunity - and still he was happy to look into camera and claim to be cutting off the dragons heads. Incredible)
-
Taj thinks he was dramatic, but Taj cries at everything.
-
where do the producers go after Coach? Are we going to have to wait for the next All-Stars series to see that level of insanity again. Or are they just gonna run round mental wards in white suits with giant butterfly nets to get the cast for next season? Sure is some hard act to follow. I know - next season - Survivor: Arkham Asylum!
-
He's so much of a pathological liar that I honestly think he completely believes his own bullshit. I can't wait for the the reunion portion tonight to see if Probst calls Coach on some of his insanity, particularly the ridiculous tale of how he supposedly escaped from being captured in the Amazon. The dude can't build a fire to keep warm but he can escape from being captured in the Amazon. RIGHT.

I'd rather see smart players than "characters" like Coach.
by flim springfield
Strategy-wise, this season has been a snoozer.
-
...the finale. I doubt he'll make it on camera, but Probst said he could attend.
-
...the layout on that one was kinda nifty.
-
Unless Taj wins the final immunity. Too bad Coach or Tyson didn't make it this far.
-
...I would've been in the principal's office even more than I already was.
-
I need to go back and look at all of the finale talkbacks.
-
And dammit, since she won't get a shot at the final immunity and the ultimate pick, I can't use the "Got me so confused, don't know what I'm gonna do" line.
-
He says he's loyal, but he'll backstab anyone.
-
Look at 'em.
-
C'mon Stephen. Make this interesting.
-
JT's got it locked in.
-
...Lucas Black fill in for JT during the reunion.
-
And Erinn, wow, she cleaned up nice.
-
You don't deserve to be there. God, I hope she doesn't win.
-
Nice work.
-
Coach didn't have another poem.
-
But JT screwed it.
-
...especially since she's seen his devotionals about him wanting to keep the idol.

Yep, they had a technical glitch there coming off the break.
by shermdawg
-
I'd say that every time.
-
Now, on to next season.
-
Not.
-
My thought exactly. She came from last place to within a few seconds of winning that challenge.That's a fair tradeoff - lose a tooth, win a million bucks!
-
Her students be lucky. My Middle School principal looked like Ted Kennedy. Which was really weird, given his last name was actually Kennedy.
-
Erin looks good all cleaned up. And, from the view over Stephen's shoulder, it seems Sierra isn't wearing a bra.
-
Just give him his own show: Coach's Warrior Challenge. Contestants compete to become Coach's apprentice; judged on honesty, integrity, competitiveness, endurance, storytelling, and hairstyling. Kind of a cross between Eco-Challenge and America's Next Top Model.
-
Oh racist Jeff...
-
"Dragonslayer doesn't make it into the bedroom, or does?"Probst showing why he's the best host on TV. Remember the early seasons when Probst didn't host the reunion shows? It's much better now that he does. Of course nothing was worse than the Rosie O'donnell one.
-
or is it already out?
-
There's too much to talk about and too many people to talk to.
-
He's savin them for the Under Seige 3 Auditions! BTW his Ladies soccer teams games must be EPIC!!!
-

Bryant Gumbel was worse than Rosie. Did he even watch the show?
by flim springfield
-
The first season didn't even have an elaborate final episode.
-
no probably not me, but Jacknancerenge and chromedome and that other guy
-
But if you're dying for some Coach Poetry, you can watch the final Ponderosa video at CBS.com.
I really thought Stephen would put up a better fight. And also not turn into a middle-aged college professor. -
Who the hell would be the winner of that?
-
Herc was the Dragonslayer that helped take out TERMINATOR: TSCC in favor of DOLLHOUSE. Therefore, we all lose.

Parvati Shallow from "Cook Islands" and "Micronesia" seasons is STILL the hottest chick to appear on "Survivor." She was a slut and damn proud of it. Ya gotta love that.
For this season, Erinn looked mighty fine all cleaned up. -
I get a post deleted, within an hour of posting, from The Office thread for saying I'd have to record it as I would be watching Supernatural instead, and yet this guy's blatant non-sensical spamming lingers for hours across multiple threads. At least my apparent faux-pas didn't get me banned, so that's something to be grateful for.
