I am! And that extra $100,000, JT's gotta watch out for gold diggers from now on, lol. I've always wanted JT to win. I usually don't go for popular people, but there's something about the guy. Why is he so darned likable? I don't think he's the usual charismatic type. Anybody care to explain? lol Which one of them do you think will be guesting in CSI or some other TV show or making a cameo in a movie? Coach? lol

I was happy with the way it ended up. o me it really didn't matter which of the last two won, I would have been happy with either, but Steven didn't have much of a chance. Most of the seasons the person who wins is someone I don't want to, so thi was a nice change. What did you think of Coach's lie detector test?

Coach's lie detector test.. WHO THE HECK CARES?!?!?!? Wasn't that the dumbest thing ever!??! Come on.. just cause he says it happens... SO WHAT!??!?! There are ways around a lie detector test... that is why they are not admissible in court... if you convince yourself of something being the truth... that is how the test will reveal it. Since he gave not specifics about his "capture", it could be anything... he could have known the people or they could have just found him lost or just helped him... but with his "dragonslayer" attitude and all... he created this amazing capture and survival in his head and made a mountain out of a mole hill. If he believes it.. it is true. I thought it always odd he never gave specifics, names, dates, places etc. I think Steven could have not gotten votes simply based on his thing at final tribal... when JT always said it was the two of them, and then Steven, right there in front of everyone including JT said that if he had been the one to choose, he didn't think he'd chosen JT simply cause he thought he'd have a better chance to win if we was with Erinn. That was cold and although showed honesty, it also showed disloyalty... and at the end of the show... loyalty is a huge deciding factor!!!

No doubt he believes his own lies or exeragations! Gives new meaning to the phrase..."blown out of porportion"!!! Thing is.. it sure wasted ALOT of time in the show... why the editors chose to keep so much of that mudclups menagerie of quips, quotes and other moronic sayings, is beyond me! I don't think it did anything for the show but give us something to chat about here on mylot! Sure didn't do any favors for the show! I know I would have rather seen other things the survivors were doing around camp!

Oh, trust Coach to find ways to make the show about him, lol. Honestly, that stupid thing took so much time Probst had to rush through the rest of the questions. Passing a lie detector test could just mean that he's so cuckoo he actually believes his lies.

I always liked JT. He was just a common person playing from the heart in a way. He wasn't lieing all the time, arguing, bickering, griping, complaining, back stabbing etc like every one else was doing. He played a good, smart, "legal", enjoyable, decisive game. He most definately deserved to win.

That he did. And also, maybe a southern drawl has powers beyond my comprehension, lol. Thanks for the reply. :)

I thought the idea of the cross-tribe alliance was good and was saddened when it fell apart. I still don't know why they were against Sierra. But in the end, I really was happy to see JT win. I don't like that they ousted Taj. I still think JT would have won. He also got the fan popularity prize. He was a double winner!

Oh yeah... and once I saw JT all clean-shaven I could see what a hunk he really is. I think agents and casting directors will be ringing his phone off the hook.

Yeah, too bad about the exile island alliance. Things probably would have turned out more interesting if that had been upheld.

I was happy that JT won. I liked Stephen, but he talked himself out of the couple of votes he might have gotten during the final tribal council. What is most impressive is that those two had such a good grasp of how to play the game that there was virtually no talk of breaking them up (voting one or the other out) by the other survivors. The fact that JT, Stephen and Taj came from a tribe that was seemingly hopeless at the time of the merge and they ended up in the top 4 is a huge accomplishment. It could have been quite boring to see them voted out one by one by the larger tribe. Those three made this a very entertaining Survivor season!

Yeah, that 3 of the Jalapao people (plus a non-threatening Timbiran) were in the final four was impressive.

I was happy that JT won also. Stephen was acting like such an idiot when they did the questions from the jury. I really don't think it is fair that the winner can get the extra $100,000 for the favorite player. JT already won so much money, why not give it to the #2 if the winner is the soul survivor. I was also happy that Sierra was in the top 3 of the favorite players and coach wasn't in at all:) I'd never watch a show that coach is on again~ he is an idiot!

I actually missed most of the jury questioning, unfortunately (I had been up since 4:30 that morning and dozed off during a commercial ). So it is very interesting to hear more about it.

I didn't think Stephens answers were good. He seemed to be squirming and trying to think of the best way to answer before he actually did. I was impressed that he actually fessed up and said that he would take Erin to the end if he had won. JT just answered honestly. He didn't put alot of calcualtion into his answers.

I actually thought Stephen gave good answers, but you could tell that he was so calculated, his answers so well thought out (can't fault the guy for being smart) that you had to doubt his sincerity. JT, on the other hand, didn't give safe answers (you could see some of the jury's expressions - scrunched eyebrows, eyes widening, questioning looks, but then again they might just have had a hard time making out what he was saying. I know I did, lol), but everybody could tell he was just being honest. I actually expected Sierra (or Brendan) to be one of the faves just from how we've all been discussing the show here, lol

I was glad JT won. I knew he would. I just wish that him and steven didn't vote Taj out before Erinn. Coach was really tame with his questions I was shocked. I dont really believe he took a lie dector test.

I was surprised too that Coach wasn't a little more, how should I say it nicely... beligerantly-self righteous in his final questioning! He was all mouth all 30+ days... why'd he stop at final Tribal Council!???! I think they voted Taj out first as they figured...if between her and either of them at final 2 - she'd get the votes as everyone either liked her or had no problem with her yet at least a few didn't like or had problems with Erinn.

That's true, Taj was the bigger threat... but maybe it would have been interesting to see how powerful the appeal of a cowboy really is, lol

Me too. I wish they had stuck to their original Jalapao alliance. Coach can keep on taking lie detector tests and nobody would still believe him. He'd be like the boy who cried wolf, one day he might just be finally captured and beaten by natives or aliens or Sierra and we'd all still say he's a liar, lol :D

Yes, I am happy with the results in Tocantins because it is so refreshing to find a truly deserving player win the game. JT was consistent all throughout, he played a great physical game, used some excellent strategies, built social relationships, and had luck on his side as well (especially when his original tribe was outnumbered coming into the merge). So, hopefully we get to see more deserving winners in the coming Survivor seasons.
