The Dragon Slayer Gets Slayed on Survivor Tocantins

In the newly Jalapao majority Forza, things are getting interesting as the alliance must now start eating their own. Back at camp after Debbie went home, Coach was shocked yet again by Debbie being voted out and her being the one who voted for him. Coach then became speechless and finally realized that he no longer had power: it was all in JT and Stephen's hands. Not sure why it took so long for people to realize the power duo, but in the end Coach somewhat gave in and simply wants to know when he'll be leaving. Sierra didn't even do that... showing that the dragon slayer may not be as strong as he thinks. The next morning Coach talked to JT and Stephen, basically telling them he is now in debt to them and he will vote how they want. However, he tries to sway their decisions and tells the two that Erinn should go to Exile and be the next voted out. Of course he doesn't want to go to Exile, but he makes up the excuse that his lungs are charred, his back hurts and that he has asthma. And that is only the start of why he shouldn't go to Exile. The two guys don't buy it though as they realize those things haven't hurt him before and think he's scared of Exile. I'd probably have to agree with them, but hey I mean if he can survive the Amazon near death experience, I'm sure he can survivor Exile.

At the reward challenge the final five had to run through a maze in the shape of SURVIVOR. Their legs would be shackled and only certain lanes would lead them to the end. There they had to build a pole, grab a sand bag and knock over three targets. The first to do so would win a trip to a resort, get a nice bed and another feast. JT was in the lead for the entire challenge as he went through the correct lanes, with Coach following behind. They both got to the end together and began putting their poles together while the other three lagged behind. JT was able to grab his pole first though, and knocked over all three targets before anyone even had a hold of their bags. That gave JT yet another reward win and it allowed him to send Coach to Exile. Before he left, Coach said he would not eat, drink or sleep while there and Erinn spoke up. She said that was a martyr move as he wanted his trip to be the worst, and a "reason" for why he would lose the immunity. Coach lashed back by going off on a rather long tangent, saying that he doesn't care what people will say about him and that his body is basically dieing. I doubt that's true... but maybe in his mind. As Coach walked away JT chose to take Stephen with him on the reward. It was an obvious choice, and should make Taj really wonder where she stands.

Erinn and Taj were the only two back at camp and talked about what Erinn said to Coach. Erinn was worried that what she said could come back to haunt her in the end, and wishes she didn't say it. Taj disagreed with her and felt it was a great thing to say. She agreed that Coach was being stupid but Erinn is still worried, funny how all three still thinking they are the F3 for Stephen and JT as both Taj and Erinn do. Coach does as well and at Exile he went on a super long tangent about how he's SO amazing... while epic music played in the background. If only that was playing in real life as he stood there. He went on and on about how he could live there for a week with no food and how he'd just live like the native Americans, talking to God. He did just that, thanking him for creating him and forgiving Erinn for thinking "negative thoughts" about him. While Coach had a fun time at Exile, Stephen and JT had some fun at the resort. They showered and ate as much as they could and in the end discussed who should go. They both talked about Erinn being the one to go since her mouth could get her in trouble. She isn't a physical or final two threat to them though, so if I were them I'd keep her.

The next day Coach was still in Exile and discussed all the places he's been to. He walked rather slow and seemed in some pain and continued that as he walked into the immunity challenge. Taj thought it was just dramatics, and called him crazy. I would concur. The immunity challenge was another endurance. They had to stand on small foot pegs and every 15 minutes move down one until they got to the third. The only way they could stay up was by bracing themselves against the walls next to them. All lasted until the last rung where Erinn fell off while moving. Stephen then dropped out while Taj followed. It was down to JT and Coach. JT said he'd drop for beer and a steak which Jeff didn't bring out, though he did tell Coach that this was the battle he wanted. Coach looks/acts in pain and towards the end it seemed rather real so I assume it was. He lasted fifty minutes until he dropped down, giving JT the win. Coach then dropped to the ground where Stephen ran to his side. He claims that his back was spasming and could hardly stand up. Jeff asked if he wanted medical to look but he denied.

With JT having the idol that left Erinn and Coach as possible votes. Alone in the hut, Erinn and Taj tore Coach apart, calling his pain an act and yet again saying that he is fine. It's true though, he could stand on the thing for an hour and walk around camp... yet had a slipped disk and was about to die? Something doesn't add up. While Erinn continued to bash Coach, he was down talking to JT and bashing her. JT told Coach that Erinn would probably be going and he goes off on her, about what she said. Stephen joins them and agrees, well to Coach's face, that Erinn should go. But behind the scenes Stephen is making the decision for once. He says that he doesn't know who is best to keep, yet, and will vote who he thinks will help him get to the final two.

The Tribal Council then begins with Jeff immediately bringing up the fight between Erinn and Coach. She claims to have said her "martyr" statement because she didn't feel Coach was right in having fun at Exile while she had a horrible time. I guess she thought he was making her time feel like it wasn't as bad as it was. Coach retaliated by saying he didn't have a bad time... because his "past experiences" helped him be ok without eating/sleeping. He then goes into a five minute poem about his time on Survivor, and does make some good claims. How everyone there wants fame and people to remember their names. That's about all I remember. Oh he also claimed that Erinn would be going... since she has "good intuition". Guess he didn't see his vote off coming then considering Stephen ended up voting his way, sending Coach out with three votes to two for Erinn. He went gracefully though, which was nice. Now we just gotta wait until Sunday to see if either JT or Stephen wins. Oh come on, you know they'll be final two!
