Survivor: Tocantins

[Jericho]

One of the guys looks like Det. Shane Vendrell. He's my early pick. Gonna drop a 'nade in the mormon's lap. Bank on it

[Okie Medicvet]

I like that Texan rancher and the Top.

I want a vbookie!!!!!!!1

[El Torpedo]

Everything that Coach guy says is comedy gold. Gold Jerry, Gold!

[Okie Medicvet]

I'm going for Taj to make it all the way. And yah, the 'coach' cracks me up. Reminds me of that one guy in another season that went bonkers because he was detoxing off a three pack a day habit.

[Techtro]

Everytime Joe (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/bio/joe_18/bio.php?season=18) comes on screen I see Johnny Drama!! Anyone else see the same.

[Jericho]

haha, that's the guy I refer to in the first post as the guy I'm rooting for cause he looks like Shane Vendrell

[Jericho]

But I can totally see Drama

[Techtro]

Having a character like Drama on this show would be awesome. Just imagine the in tribe interviews.

[Techtro]

"You my friend are the Dragon, a 'I' am the Dragon slayer"

Wtf is coach smoking out there? He is starting to lose his fucking mind. The story about the indigenous tribe capturing and beating him until his escape had me in stitches. Then just when you think his story couldn't get any more bullshit he pulls the eating his arsehole part out at tribal.

[El Torpedo]

"We're throwing metal balls at lined up tiles in boxes, no one here has done this before we can't be stacked"

..


"I Have."

[Jericho]

Wow,didn't see that coming!

[nothingman]

Wow,didn't see that coming!
You know I even kind of liked that kid, but that was pure Survivor gold right there. What is up everybodies ass about Sierra? She doesn't bring alot to the table, but she certainly isn't annoying as everyone acts like. I'm not understanding the disdain that everyone has for her.

[Techtro]

Getting him out was smart move, i can't believe coach is such a dick head that he never thought anyone would go against him. JT must be loving it, in the two tribals since the merge the two most physical players are out.

Right now JT would have to be a massive front runner for this game. He is popular in the game and with the existing jury. Tyson would have been the only real jury threat but i guess that's not happening now.

[nothingman]

Stephen is playing like crazy!

[Techtro]

Stephen is like Batman's Robin, he is fucking useless...


JT will win this game hands down now, no doubt about it.

[Candycane]

JT reminds me of Christian Kane off Angel.. the lawyer who worked at Wolfram and Hart. He is all short like him and add a dash more of hillbilly and it's him. Coach is god damn curazay and has pantene hair.

Also how is it none of them get a sunburn?

[nothingman]

Coach is god damn curazay and has pantene hair.

Also how is it none of them get a sunburn?
I'm sure if you ask Coach he will say that he rode a unicorn to the sun and blocked the violent rays with his pantene hair to protect the mortals. He is SF'nC! (shit fucking crazy)

[SammyKC]

So Im sitting there and Jeff goes "Ill go tally the votes" and I just KNOW Coach is finally gonna get kicked out on his ass and then......The freaking local station interrupts with a Tornado Warning for like 60 miles away from where Im at. I mean they literally took over the channel just seconds before the vote tally started. Is it wrong of me to care more about who gets kicked off Survivor than saving people in mobile homes? (Probably but who cares). its not that Im a Survivor fanatic or anything but I would have strangled Coach in his sleep by now.

He's hilariously infuriating, I think when he gets voted out this seasons going to get a lot less watchable. If they do another "all stars" season eventually Coach is definitly going to be on the roster, but he'll also be voted out immediately. There is no way another group of 8 people would be able to buy into his shit, watching the first episodes before the merge where he was just controlling everyone in the tribe with his craziness was absolutely hilarious.

[SammyKC]

This is the first season Ive actually watched it since season 2. And I only started because Thursday night is one of my days off. I really didnt think Id get that wrapped up in it hehe. But Coach keeps drawing me back to see who loses it on him.

[Techtro]

How golden was Coach's assistant coach helping him stretch.

No way would I associate myself with him on National Tv...

[Candycane]

I mean that's all he had to come visit him was his assistant coach? I don't know the world of soccer coaching that well , but for tits sake really? No wife? Or lover? Or Dog sitter?

[Jericho]

Did you not see the stretching? Methinks that could BE Coach's lover

[Candycane]

Did you not see the stretching? Methinks that could BE Coach's lover


No but he himmed and hawwed about "these aren't sexual positions"... so if they are lovers does coach fuck his ears?

[Jericho]

Well, of course. What's he gonna say? "This is the guy I fuck" in front of 18 million viewers

[Candycane]

Well, of course. What's he gonna say? "This is the guy I fuck" in front of 18 million viewers


"This is my Dragon Warrior slayer in crime, we slay many a dragon hidden deep in the woods and from the hearts of women". Then he will Yoga salute the sun and fart.

[Techtro]

I don't know the world of soccer coaching that well , but for tits sake really? No wife? Or lover? Or Dog sitter?

It is not for to understand, although I shall enlighten you that in order to be a success at high school soccer a man/coach must make sacrifices, the no wife, no lover thing is only the obvious what you didn't know is that during the season coach must also give up sex masturbation to maintain his stamina from the sidelines all season long.......

[Okie Medicvet]

Thank god they got rid of coach. That man is one of the most annoying people ever. I am rooting for Taj, but think the winner will be JT.

[Jericho]

Coach on Exile Island was so hilariously epic. The editors deserve a cookie for that one

I can't wait to hear his 45 minute jury question tonight

[Techtro]

Coach on Exile Island was so hilariously epic.

Him shadow fighting with that stick was awesome!! But the pinnacle of the episode was after the challenge him collapsing into a ball as if he had truly taken on a dragon and narrowly lost...... Get him back for All-Stars soon!

[El Torpedo]

Yea if they do an All Stars soon the Tocantins ones should definitly be Coach and maybe Tyson.

Does any one else want to do dirty things to Erinn?

I wonder if it'll be a Final 3 or a Final 2, I like it as 2 better personally.

[Jericho]

I could see JT on an All Stars

[Techtro]

Yeah I could see JT on an All Stars also.

As for Coach, I just came across this article from 10years back... seems he has ALWAYS been completely AWESOME!!

http://i39.tinypic.com/2ce3mtz_th.jpg (http://i39.tinypic.com/2ce3mtz.jpg)

[Jericho]

His jury speech had better be fucking great

[Jericho]

I'm watching right now, so no spoilers plz, but how fucking neat and cool was that final challenge?

[Techtro]

what the fuck?

I posted my thoughts on the finale and they are now gone?

[Jericho]

Everything from the last 12 hours has disappeared

[Techtro]

From memory:

That ball challenge was pretty cool, but odd they had like 8 balls on display because I couldn't see anyone getting more than 6 going with one arm.

How much of an arsehole was Stephen to JT at the jury vote, upon getting asked questions he pretty much just confirmed to them that he rode JT all the way and that he would have voted him out within a blink of an eye had he of had the chance. Glad to see he was only the second person in history that lost 7-0

Coach completely stole the finale though, he was the only one that talked about anything new while all the others just whined about either how they aren't like the show portrayed them or they haven't gotten any deals after leaving the show. His 'lady friend' saying she slays dragons in the bedroom was a fucking golden coach moment. He will 100% be back for the next All Stars. Having him, Hatch, Rupert, Big Tom and johnny fairplay would be an awesome season. Add Tyson in there also for extra value.

Overall not a bad season, although it was too obvious who would win as soon as Tyson was voted off, it would have been really interesting had JT and Tyson been final two as I'm pretty sure it would have been around a 4-3 vote.

[Jericho]

As for All Stars, A JT-Bobby Jon alliance would be straight ass country comedy

[Techtro]

My All Star Male Line Up


Coach (http://s3.amazonaws.com/hitfix/photos/54576/survivortocantins_coach_652_article_story_main.jpg ) - Survivor: Tocantins

Ace Gordon (http://www.dingorue.com/survivorgabon/ace-gordon.jpg) - Survivor: Gabon (us/uk bald guy who thought he knew everything)

Rupert Boneham (http://realityworld.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/rupert-pearl-islands-survivor.jpg) - Survivor Peal Islands (ultimate pirate)

James Clement (http://z.about.com/d/realitytv/1/0/-/D/1/James_Clement.jpg) - Survivor: China (awesome strength black guy, only guy to be voted out with two immunity idols)

Erik Reichenbach (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080102/eric_l.jpg) - Survivor: Micronesia (won almost all challenges then gave up immunity in final 4 to the girls and was voted out same night)
Joel 'Hulk' Anderson (http://www.survivorfever.net/images16/cast/joel_l.jpg) - Survivor: Micronesia (dude that dragged that gay guy around on the ground)

Tom Westman (http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2005/news/050530/twestman.jpg) - Survivor: Palau (like JT this season, completely dominated everything and was season winner with 0 votes)
Ian Rosenberger (http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/fy4OWGs6fCmZ915Brbe5vQ34393/GW194H291) - Survivor: Palau (dolphin trainer who stepped down on the final challenge so Tom could vote him off.)

Bobby Jon Drinkard (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/survivor/images/thumb/1/1a/BobbyJon_Drinkard_Profile.jpg/200px-BobbyJon_Drinkard_Profile.jpg) - Survivor: Palau (last man standing on his tribe of two)

[El Torpedo]

I wrote some bullshit as well, basically said it seemed like the last hour was like the third act of I Love You Man or Superbad, complete with the two best friends reuniting and talking about the future with JT talking about working with Stephen later on.

JT really was one of the most likable players I've seen on the show, and I think he was really underrated in terms of intellect and strategy because of his physical prowess and southern drawl.

Somethings going to happen with Coach. If it's not All Stars its going to be some bullshit like going on The Amazing Race with his "lady friend", whatever it is, sign me the fuck up because that dude is comedy gold. It's insane to find out that he actually holds a world record, was a child prodigy on the trombone, and conducts his own legit symphony. And apparently almost got his dick eaten (http://www.tvguide.com/News/Survivor-Coach-Cannibalism-1006113.aspx), so says the "lie detector test".

[Jericho]

Your lineup is fuckin great. Except for Ace. Fuck that guy. Drop him for JT.

I liked both Ian and Erik, but fuck were they ever stupid

[Techtro]

Except for Ace. Fuck that guy.

He would be coaches ultimate dragon though, they both bullshit like there is no tomorrow and both truly believe the bullshit they say.

Ace would call Coach out on his stories which would make Coach furious meaning he would do everything to get him out creating an awesome dragon slayer plot.

and yeah Erik and Ian were two of my favorites, Erik excitement at every single thing survivor was golden. Those two teaming up would be hard to beat.

[Jericho]

Sugar would definitely have to be on for the chicks. I loved her

[El Torpedo]

It was painful watching Erik in his last episode haha, that Joel guy was amazing when he was dragging around the gay dude but aside from that, he generally sucked. Yea he was huge but James would've dusted him in almost any confrontation/challenge I think. James was also one of the most likable people, I remember in the Fans vs Favorites challenge where they were holding there arms out for the longest amount with food coming out, when some chick dropped hers thinking she would get food but didn't ask for it and therefore didn't get it, "Oh mann, that would suck.... Ah BITCH!" as he drops his immediately after.

[Jericho]

I vaguely remember the end of that dragging challenge where the guy was like

"I hurt my shoulder"

"I don't care"

"I know"


hahahahahaha. someone find a youtube of that

[El Torpedo]

jQal2ivl9lU

Haha, absolutely one of the best moments the show has produced.

I was reading that one of the other countries versions of the show has a feature called Island of the Dead, where the people voted out do challenges in order to get back into the game with one person making it back in at some point. There really hasn't been a big twist since Exile Island and I wonder whether they'll ever implement it, or whether it would work or not. It would have to be contestants eliminated prior to the merge and then put in right at the merge or it wouldn't be fair and I have no idea how they would work in people lasting from early eliminations vs the newly eliminated players. Could be kinda cool though, if they found a good way to use it.

[Techtro]

Yeah Sugar would get a start in my line up. The girls are a lot harder to remember so its harder to get a quality lineup.

Sierra (http://www.tvclubhouse.com/forum/messages/9204/6261720.jpg) Survivor: Tocantins

Sugar (http://www.survivorfever.net/images17/cast/s17_jessica_l.jpg) - Survivor: Gabon (pin up model who loved exile island)

Denise Martin (http://www.bigbtv.com/Images/Survivor/s15/cast/Denise.jpg) - Survivor: China (fat lunch lady with a fucked up hair cut)

Mary Sartain (http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080102/mary_l.jpg) Survivor: Micronesia (was hot and got voted off too early)
Natalie Bolton (http://resources.survivorphoenix.com/graphics/albums/NatalieBolton/Natalie_Bolton_450.jpg) - Survivor: Micronesia (got Erik to give up his idol before voting him out, plus she was a bitch)

Stephenie LaGrossa (http://www.derok.net/derok/images/entertainment/survivor%20stephenie%20lagrossa.jpg) - Survivor: Palau (was with bobby jon in final two of tribe)
Wanda Shirk (http://www.buddytv.com/articles/survivor/images/wanda-shirk.jpg) Survivor: Palau (was voted off soon as getting off the boat after singing the whole way)

[Jericho]

That is too fucking funny. Joel was a beast.

"I don't care."

[Techtro]

That video is awesome no matter how many times you watch it.

[Jericho]

Sierra? You must be high. Matty from Gabon would be money, too

[Techtro]

Sierra creates conflict, conflict creates good viewing so that's why I'd give her a spot.

Yeah I forgot about Matty, he would be a quality replacement for any of my guys who wouldn't come back.

[El Torpedo]

Sierra? You must be high. Matty from Gabon would be money, too

I wanted Matty to win that season, Sugar fucked him over pretty badly but understandably. I feel like talking that girl into anything would not be hard at all, which is part of her charm. She looked amazing on that reunion.

The girls of this season I would choose to go to an All Star type show would be Debbie, Taj and Candace who I felt like got screwed by a weird tribe mentality, Coach was spewing the cancer spiel to get her off. How old is Debbie, does any one know? Great looking older lady. Sierra was just terrible, I didn't like anything about her.

Not sure if you saw that I edited the post with the video and just dont care, but if not, Island of the Dead?

[Techtro]

Island of the dead would be a cool twist but would only be of value if the teams going into the merge were even. If this was the case then both teams would fight for that vote with a ton of bullshit

"They voted you out once don't let them them do it again"
"If you come back to our tribe we have the numbers and can pick them off"

If the teams weren't even then the newcomer would probably just be voted straight off similar to when you see tribe switches with uneven numbers.

[Jericho]

They did something similar to that on I think it was Pearl Islands where "Outcasts" played the challenge against the two tribes and I remember that Big guy Burton and the scout leader lady making it back in

[Techtro]

I forgot about that

"Lillian Morris and Burton Roberts were brought back into the game on Day 20. The tribes they were briefly in upon their return were the same tribes they were originally in."

Lillian actually was runner up that season, but from memory she lost votes because of the fact she was 'brought back' into the game opposed to playing it from the start which the producers I guess saw as a problem regardless of season so dropped the concept.

[El Torpedo]

I guess every season's cast makes for a unique show and any twist thrown at them would play out differently depending on the people involved so really it could either be awesome or not interesting at all. I think every season really depends on the few wild card players you get that can really shine and take over, which was really what got me back into Survivor. I started this season bored and instead of working on essays or revising I chose to watch episode one of season whatever that popped up on a streaming site I go to ( no TV's on exchange in England, you see) and watching Coach unexplainably take control of his tribe was so entertaining i went back and watched the last few seasons, I feel like this has been one of the most entertaining, if not the most that I've seen, despite the overall predictability come the final 6.

[Techtro]

I rate Pearl Islands my personal favorite, the pirate themed challenges mixed with Rupert's pirate type personality and Johnny Fairplay's dead grandma lie is what the show is all about.

Instead of exile that had "Captured' resulting in a tribe kidnapping one person to come to their tribe for good.

Also having the final immunity challenge as a trivia competition with the Jury allowed to compete as a team to void anyone getting immunity was cool.
