I thought the same thing Texan. As a viewer I hope he goes, can't wait to see it happen. From a survivor point of view . . . why would they vote him off. Nobody (except possibly Deb & Tyson) likes him and chances are if you're in the finals with him you'd win.

Coach whacking at a branch: the dragon slayer and the dragon cane
JP: and Coach digs deep to stay in the game
Coach: hit me with your best shot Pat Benatar

ONLY FIVE CASTAWAYS REMAIN IN THE QUEST FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE AND TITLE OF SOLE SURVIVOR, ON "SURVIVOR TOCANTINS -- THE BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS," THURSDAY, MAY 14
"The Martyr Approach" - In the aftermath of Tribal Council, a shocking betrayal is revealed, leaving one castaway reeling. Meanwhile, another castaway takes a bizarre approach to Exile Island, which has a polarizing effect on the rest of the tribe, on SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS - THE BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS, Thursday, May 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Honestly, the only thing that will keep coach from getting voted out is for him to win immunity or for Erinn to be really stupid.

I talked to folks who attended the December 12th symphony performance and they said Ben Wade had lost about 60 pounds since they last saw him, he was using a walking stick/cane (which he never needed before) and looked like he had been through the wringer. He has said there were would be an announcement on National TV after the superbowl that would "bring Susanville and the Symphony attention".

Maybe he did get hurt after all?

I don't! I meant the part about the walking stick/cane...but then again it is Coach, he may be carrying out his charade after he got home.

littlewop · « **Reply #42 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:43:39 PM »

Okay are you all ready for my SPECULATION on this weeks episode?
From the early spoilers we know that there is a scorpion sting this season. Didn't they show the scorpion last week when Taj & Hubby were at Exile? My guess is Coach is exiled, gets stung by the scorpion. Not serious enought to send him home. Then at IC, Jeff asks if he wants to "opt out", he chooses to go ahead with the challenge prompting Erinn to say the title "Martyr Approach". He is knocked out of the comp not by a twisted/sprained ankle but from the pain of the sting.
I know her buff is placed differently when she makes the comment than during the IC comp, but she easily could have switched it right before the challenge.
Any thoughts?

puddin · « **Reply #43 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:05:02 PM »

I don't think Coach was ever stung by a scorpion and from the clips Erinns comment to Coach about the 'The Martyr Approach' is right before Coach sends hiself to EI.

My mind was all crazy and irritated with Coach and i told myself i'll stop watching this season of Survivor if it seems as though Stephen and JT are ruling the game and might even go on to win, which is so predictable.. and because of the reason that they rather keep Coach over Erinn.. i might seriously detest them.

And it seems i can continue watching Survivor.. because Coach is gone and JT and Stephen are going to turn on each other next week! I'm all for Stephen, Taj and Erinn in the F3 because i seriously cannot understand why JT is even so likable when he's seriously annoying and full of himself? Or maybe it's just my opinion.. but i just don't like him.

And OMG, i'm praying that Stephen, Taj and Erinn come together to vote out JT.. because Stephen might have realized that he will not win against JT.. thus we might have a Taj and Erinn final 2!! (Just dreaming, BUT you never know it might happen!!!)
