Well, it's time ... the big season finale night for Survivor Tocantins! At least we can all rest assured that Coach won't win. I doubt he'll win the $100,000 from viewers even. As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major news. However, the real fun is in the comments. I hope you all can join in -- we have snacks, beverages, and a good time for all!
Later tonight, I'll be writing up the review of the finale for TV Squad, but I don't expect it to be posted until tomorrow as tonight's gala event ends at 11 PM. Getting up before 5 AM for work is going to be tough. I think it will be a three alarm clock night. But I'll worry about that when it comes. Right now I'm ready to sit back, enjoy the show, take my notes, and have fun in comments. Taj, my blog pool pick, is still in the running. Yay! And, we're even starting on time. Double YAY!
JT wins immunity!
ARGH! They voted out Taj!
Rites of passage are over -- Coach is still delusional.
Erinn is the first out of the final immunity challenge!
JT won the final immunity challenge!
JT voted out Erinn -- it's JT and Stephen battling it to the end.
Votes: JT, JT, JT, JT ... wins it all!
It was the second unanimous vote in Survivor history.

Wow ... JT also won the $100,000 viewers prize.
Survivor 19 will be in Samoa.
Thanks, everyone for such a great time in comments tonight!

I can't wait to see how it all turns out tonight!
Who's going to be the winner? I don't really care as long as it's not Erin!
I would laugh if JT got voted and it was Taj and Stephen at the end!
Let's gather around the campfire and enjoy the finale! I brought chicken wings (hot and mild) and a big ol' jug of sun tea, made with California sunshine!
ZoeTawny, it was great reading your post at the end of last week's Survivor. I miss you lots but understand you are swamped right now.
Hi Dusty! Good to see you here. You beat me at being first, which isn't easy considering they call me Wonder Woman!
That vote JT gave to Coach may be his undoing.
Any one have a favorite to win? Who will win the fan favorite? What jury question will Coach ask? Will it contain the words 'honor' or 'dragon'?
Um. I brought some beer. I figured if the castaways always seem to enjoy it so much ...
I have Four Layer Chocolate pie and Strawberry Shortcake since it was such a hit on Mother's day!
I think they will try to get rid of JT now. I hope not, he's a Bama boy!
Here for the party and Chicken Wings! Yum!
TAJ for the WIN!!!
In the CBS videos, Coach disses Stephen but then says he thinks he might win.
I'd like to see either Stephen or Taj win. I wouldn't be upset if JT won, but he's so ... so ... perfect for the win! If Erinn wins, that would be some upset, but I don't think she'd get the jury vote.
I've got the mixings for some Pina Coladas. Fruity and sweet. What Coach is and isn't.
Sorry Wonder Woman!!! I was surprised that I was first!
I forgot about the fan favorite, I really think that Taj could get it. I think I would want to break my t.v. if it was Coach.
I'm up for anything to eat at the moment. I don't feel like cooking.
Hey Joy, Coach is definitely fruity alright, but not sweet!
Exactly!
I brought hot dogs and marshmellows. Thought they would go well during commercials when we sit around and sing, "Ding Dong, the Coach is dead!"
I am afraid that JT's vote will cost him.
Yeah, lets do it. Stephen or Taj have to win this one... biting my nails here.
I think Erinn will go first tonight.
I think Taj might win the popularity vote, if Sierra won it.
Four layer chocolate anything has my name written all over it. Thanks Donna!
Jackie, before I forget (again) thanks for setting this up for us and giving us a place to express our opinions and have fun at the same time. I'm sending my donation tonight!
JT wants this bad!
No problem Dusty. I'm sure it made me stronger to come in second and it adds to my inner purity and light.
This is an awesome challenge!
Man, has Taj lost weight!
sizzie said...Any one have a favorite to win? Who will win the fan favorite? What jury question will Coach ask? Will it contain the words 'honor' or 'dragon'?
He will ramble around about honor and integrity - something he knows nothing about.
Oh, thank God! I take back what i said earlier. I did NOT want to see Erinn win that!
JT a winner by the skin of his teeth. Errin almost had it.
Will they stick to their alliance and get rid of Erin?
I hope the guys stick with Taj!
What a fine group we have here tonight. BB Warrior, are you our Becky?
The show actually starts here when it ends for you Easter Time Zone folks. That makes me laugh for some reason. Perhaps it's the pina coladas.
New drinking game... if Coach says HONOR tonight at Tribal, take a drink (a few drinks). If he says warrior or Dragon Slayer, drink the whole bottle!
Taj was hinting to Stephen about getting out TJ earlier. Hope that doesn't work against her. I'd like to see Errin go next, too.
I think Erin will go home unless JT decides to backstab Steven. In that case I think that whoever opposes him in the final two will win. I think if he votes against Steven it will upset Taj in a major way. Steven was her first alliance person. Did Steven ever tell Taj that it was HIS immunity idol?
I used Babbling Brook Warrior as my comment name since I haven't started my blog and don't have an avatar.
I'm in for the pina colada's joyn... then I have to run back and watch tV and then run back in here and type. I'm gonna need a few.
Monty, hope everyone brought a large supply of booze. When Coach starts talking, we'll need it.
ARggg...I still can't watch TV and only have stopped in here for a quick note. Your comments are making me smile (and I am now hungry and thristy for some reason). I will be around later.
I'm here! Was just getting dinner in.
I can't believe Erin didn't fit that piece in faster....!
Monty, love the drinking game. We might as well admit we'll all be seeing pink elephants before the night is over ... he will surely say all those things!
Oh no.... STFU Erinn!!!!
Aw man, not Taj! Errin, shut your face. And the guys are listening.
Taj has a good chance, JT is a shoe in. Is JT going to stay with Steven all this time (Sorry Sue Gee! no offense for your boy!)
Getting rid of Taj will make you look real bad to the jury... but she has to go at some point if they boys want to be the F@
BTW< Girl looks good in the bikini these days. Not emaciated.
I can't believe these guys! If they backstab Taj, I hope Erin wins!
what will coach look like cleaned up?
HE HAS THE STICK> AAAUUUGH!
I'm about to cry.... there's a tear in my beer... Please let it be Erinn and not Taj!
Debbie is looking quite hot isn't she? tan, boofy blonde hair, slinky clothes. That's one for the over 40 crowd!
Taj is just squinting and squinting at Tribal Council
nice schmoozie answer for coach's vote Steven (that's smart)
Argh ... suspense!
Their faces look like they are voting out Taj!!
Laurie, the BB Warrior was me. Taj knows her butt is cooked.
Coach can't speak at tribal. He will go off during the question section.
I mean it, if they vote out Taj then they are no more honorable than Coach. Game or no game. I couldn't play this game, I just can't lie and set aside my loyalty.
Erinn looks smug right now!
Damn I hate living on the west coast but so appreciate your comments...
Is it two or three to Final tribal this time? Anybody know? I think it would be more interesting with 3 this time if it's Taj Steven and JT.
WOah TAJ got a second vote.
OHHOOHOOOOOOOHHHHHHOOH
WOAH!
BIG uPSET>
SO CLOSE, SO CONFIDENT, SO NOT in the game anymore.
Noooooooooooo! Erin cannot win this. I cry foul!
Those BASTARDS!!
Erin is SO trying not to SMILE GIANTLY.
Is that a word?
SO now Taj won't vote for either?
And Erinn's whole tribe that dominated the jury will vote for her?
I sure was hoping they weren't going to do that. Taj is gone! Errin almost won that last challenge so this decision may bite them in the butt.
Colleen, I'm with you, here on the west coast. We should be outside for the ending of such a nice day but ...
we must be here finding out what happens and supporting our fellow Survivor friends!
HOw is it that the person who does so little all season long sudden;y becomes a master manipulator in the last ep?
Didn't that happen last year?
Last challenge is always an endurance and smallest and lightest ususally wins against muscle and such. Happens in Big Brother too.
Those poop heads. The BBW is on the offense now. Down with the disloya lillegitimate dogs.
I hope Taj goes to jury and unloads that EVERY one of the tribal votes was Steven's and JT's doing.
Wait, Taj is gone? Really?
Didn't she have the hidden idol?
WTF? I can't believe those guys did that to her. Seriously, Erinn cannot win.
Erin is one slick piece of work. I so hope who ever goes up against her wins this. Jeff said in the previews that JT and Stephen betray each other or something to that effect. Please, please, please don't let Erin win this after all of Jalapao's hard work this season.
I forgive you Taj if you vote for Erinn, lol.
Laurie - the hidden idol is no longer good when they hit the final four. It could last be used at final five.
Wow, Becky, you said "poop heads".
Calm down, girlfriend ...
Donna in AL said...
Those BASTARDS!!
**************
I agree Donna, RAT BASTARDS!!!
Sierra and Debbie looked happy seeing the votes going to Taj. They may well vote Errin the winner. Stupid, stupid boys.
Anyone else notice that they showed a boa constrictor at TC, but we heard a rattlesnake?
Thanks Jackie. Now that you say that I remember Jeff saying it last week. I just cannot believe they voted her off. They must be afraid she'd get the votes, eh? Poop heads!
I'm so trying not to watch whats happening - but I am going to initiate the drinking game tonight at the Survivor Party!! They know me enough not to take any side bets LOL
Go Stephen!
Sue
NOW they're annoyed with Erinn. Should'a thought of that before you voted Taj out... Dipshits!
I'm a little sad and disappointed that Taj was voted out. However, she really doesn't need the money. Did you guys know that she's a singer with the group SWV, Sisters With Voices?
Anyway, I'm going to pop off and not read anymore. I want to be surprised who wins the million.
Enjoy your party!
I hope the upset Jeff talked about was about what happened with Taj.
joyn, I hope you are right!
I hope she has them deaf with her chatter!
If it had been the two guys and Taj I would have been happy for any of them to win. However, I put a strong value on loyalty and both of these guys have none. They turned on Brent and they turned on Taj. So, I am against both of them.
Here comes the fallen comrades!
OMG!!! My biggest fear is that they will vote out either JT or Steven and then the jury will vote Erinn to win it all especially considering almost off, if not all, of her former tribemates are on the jury.
And WTF on voting on Taj, I loved her...stupid stupid stupid...was it unamioumous?
Thanks......
Yes Dusty, she didn't need the money but she was going to give it to her Foundation... something for women of DV. I wanted her to win it all.
Laurie, here at home I called them MF Poopheads!
Nice to see the old gang. Well, most of them.
Hi guys I'm here. Better late than never. I'm so disappointed in JT and Stephen for voting Taj out. There really was no good strategic reason to do it. Now I'm kind of hoping that Erinn can win this last immunity.
It was Coleen. The boys just made the dumbest move ever (not counting all the 'didn't use the idol' moments). Ugh!
Vote was 3-1. Taj voted for Errin.
Hey, RBennie... the guys really P*ssed me off -- can you tell. I am pulling for Erin.
Wonder what Coach will say about how wonderful he is!
this is usually the most boring part of the finale, but somehow the quotes from the ex survivors are making it good...
Hi Ruth! Good to see you.
Becky was calling the guys poop heads and I was a little concerned about her, but now I know she was really calling them MF poop heads. I feel better about that!
Steven said Debbie was incredibly kind... I saw her being just terribly catty to Sydney. Maybe Sydney deserved it but I wasn't impressed by what I saw of Debbie.
OH what a story Coach weaves about himself. SIckening. Literally. I'm eating dinner, lol
Little do they know saying Coach never lied and still talking about his honesty.
Taj.........................Karma.
Say what? Wait until they see the show and see how MUCH he lied!
I wouldn't be so sure JT! Taj might hold a grudge... no, I don't think so.
Boy, that BBQ grill is nothing compared to when they got to burn their whole camp... remember that?
I'm glad the rites of passage are over.
Coach @@ -- You were DEFEATED!
Coach sure lives in his own little bubble world, doesn't he?
Keeping Erinn could seriously backfire on JT and Stephen. I think if she somehow makes it to final 2, she could actually win.
REMEMBER - When we go over a certain point in comments, you have to hit the link atop the comment page to see the latest.
Jackie, in coach's world he has not been defeated. Denial is a crazy thing ...
Those Criminal Minds finale scenes look crazy!

I would! Don't get mad, get even.
Hey RBENNIE!!! YAY
Laurie said:

Lol, I totally agree.
Jackie, thank you for hosting this each and every week. It is so much fun to meet and chat with people watching the different shows.
it's like Lucy and Ethel at the candy shop!
so, since they wanted to give them all a shot, it's not an endurance test.
Looks like a crap shoot to me.
Steven does not look too focused. He wants to wins o bad he may lose it.
I'm not sure Taj would have won this. Errin might. One of these guys may be in big mucky-muck!
Kneeling may be a good idea.. or it makes it harder to see
Erin doesn't have to win this.
Well, so long, Errin. My bad!
JT will take Stephen!
Interesting challenge. Well, let's see if JT takes Steven like he swore.
Steven looked to crazed and nervous, JT had it down -- left right, left right
Now we wait to see if JT screws Stephen over.
JT talking Stephen going out. So much for promises.
I would think if JT takes Erin, he has less of a chance to get the most votes. If he takes Stephen, I think JT will get the most over Stephen.
I think he will take Stephen with him though. He knows that they were equally responsible for taking out everyone on the jury, except for Coach, and that's a vote for him.
Yay, a Big Brother commercial!
The FIRST BB commercial I've seen...
Not til July!
This is really going to get interesting.
I agree Donna. Yay, a BB commercial. Bring on BB!
Who do we think he'll take? I'd love to see Steven and JT... though with either, I think JT will get every vote or all but one.
What did JT mumble on the way back to camp? I can usually understand Southern.
He doesn't need to listen to her!
Ooooweeee! Errin's lying and JT is STUPID! for listening to her.
Erinn is the new Cirie! Silent but very deadly.
Oh the drama. I love this!
Please be careful JT of how you word things at this point!! Votes man votes..
Taj looks pissed.
Taj look'n good and pissed!
To All three--
careful what you reveal to the jury! It starts NOW.
Stephen not sounding so smart right now. Breakfast, WTF????
Open mouth insert jury foot Steven
what do we think folks?
I think ERIN will stay
Its gonna be JT and Stephen!
Steven wouldn't have taken JT, so what's all this about loyalty... i know, he's playing his hand.
Darn, those Southern boys and their word! Steven would not have taken him. What does second and third place get?
JT for the WIN! He lived up to his word with Stephen. Coach is loving this.
fuck -- he may have just given away a million... or... he won everyones' for being loyal. Where wil Taj's cote go? Clearly they got coach's
The producers MUST tell the jury (like Taj) to look pissed, right?
Good for JT. Errin doesn't deserve to be in the f2. No matter who wins, these two guys played a da*n good game,
I am hoping Stephen's mouth just gave the jury a reason to vote for JT!
Dusty -- you ARE first! SOrry, I am just now taking the commercials to start looking at comments, save for that one by Laurie about Becky and seeing that RBennie was here.
Laurie, I love it that you join in with us even if you are not seeing the show yet.
Shout out to ZOETAWNY!
I think JT will have an easy win, unless Stephen is brilliant in the jury questioning.
The producers MUST tell the jury (like Taj) to look pissed, right?
I don't think they had to tell her to look that way! LOL Nothing as mean as a woman scorned -- or something like that.
Agreed here Joyn. I honestly didn't think it would come down to JT and Stephen in the end, but now I'm sort of happy it did. They really did play the superior game this season.
I think JT has it in the bag. No one on Timbera knows that Stephen was as strategic as we all saw. And then again, maybe JT was as well and we didn't see it.
Either one would be a good win. I still wish Taj would have though, lol.
Taj knows that JT is kind of running the show. She may stick with Stephen.
HI Jackie -- the beer is definitely welcome. Better than a soccor ball or a soggy FED EX box.
Thank you so much for creating this great place where we all come to LIVE BLOG. I mean, where else does that happen?
SIZ, you craxk me up pondering what coach will ask. YES, YES WE KNOW it will contain at least one if not both words... the question is, how many times will he say it.
DOnna, your Bama boy is in it to win it.
Breakfast on a campfire is sooooo good....just the smell of bacon and eggs cooking....makes me want to go camping.
Food's so they can think for tribal council...
WAIT TIL JT SEES THE TAPES AND REALIZED STEVEN SAID HE WAS GOING TO TAKE ERIN.
Won't matter if JT wins, but if he doesn't...
Give me some of that champagne. I want to be good and mellow for the drinking game to come at FTC.
I think JT probably needs the money more than Steven. Plus he has played the better game I think.
I do think Taj would have won. I think Erin would have won over either of the guys.... just because she could have made a case that which-ever masterminded the ouster of the jury members.
Yummy looking breakfast.
That is right Stephen, just cause we don't speak good English and have this accent don't mean we are stupid!!
I guess Brazil is too dry to burn down the camp. Bummer!!
30 minutes for them to rip them to shreds!
Taj looks beautiful
Great color on Debbie
Saying you've never been camping before in your tribal council speech?
The angle of including everyone in the experience is good.
To never get a vote once is better.....
I wonder if they have told Coach he only has so many minutes to speak. Bad speach, Steven. You needed to throw JT under the bus.
How do you think the votes will fall. JT just lost Deb.
Both made good statements.
Erin looks like a totally different person. I love seeing the jury after a meal and a shower and their own clothes.
Coach up soon... get ready to drink up folks!
BEcky, if Steven threw him under the bus in the opening, he'd look ugly when JT picked him to come. There's time for that in the questions....
Donna in AL said... That is right Stephen, just cause we don't speak good English and have this accent don't mean we are stupid!!
Donna, I wonder why people just assume that Southerners are stupid because of their accent?
These next Pina Coladas are less fruity, more boozy!
People think people from Brooklyn or NJ are thugs because of their accents.
Goddaproblemwiddit?
;-)
BEcky, if Steven threw him under the bus in the opening, he'd look ugly when JT picked him to come. There's time for that in the questions....
At times JT reminds me of Kurt Russell.
Hell, let's skip the fruit and just swig the rum.
the accent thing happens in BAWSTUN too. But I think President Kennedy changed that.
True, Sydney. Hey, everyone has a full glass. Now, just how often to we have to take a swallow when Coach speaks. What are the drink words. Dragon Slayer, honor, lie honesty, integrity .... any others?
JT never received a vote, but didnt' someone try to get everyone to vote him out when they had the chance. I am fogetting who and which TC it was...maybe Tyson's week?
Good question, Erinn!
All of the above, Becky.
JT really called out Debbie on that vote for Coach.
Stephen should have lied about taking Errin.
ok, there's a time limit coach.
Start the drinking game -- warrior is twice already.
Noble once
honesty once
Warrior, wizard, iron sharpens iron, honesty and integrity, noble warrier, battlefield... warrior twice... I'm already about to fall out of my chair. Hic!
smart of him to just say I just found out Stephen said he would have taken Erin.... OK! HE"S GOING TO WIN!!!
That just convinced the entire journey.
Unless Steven is a good talker.
No Dragon Slayer, so there's still a little left in my bottle!
He didn't devalue it -- good use of the language... he's trying to fight back.
It is subtle, but it's intense!
Taj is gorgeous!
Listen to the tinkly piano music.. tear jerking
JT is going for the throat. Erin, Deb and Taj look great. Brendan looks yummy.
Brendan is cracking up at Coach. Good answer, JT. Daymn... he cut it short!
Loved Sierra's point.
Nice tan, Tyson.
Cat fight among two boys.... this is great!
Go JT
wow Taj is trying to end it and they guys are going to go their on their own.
Stephen's not looking so good jury-wise after that last speech.
Monty, I am sitting on the ground after drinking most of my glass. Not as far to fall.
I think JT will win it -- for the same reason a lot of people think he is stupid because he is from the South. Everyone knows Southern Boy's don't lie -- much!
Oh man, I wish I could be seeing this with all of you! Thanks for all the good tidbits.
Monty, I'm GLAD there's something left to drink. I didn't want to hear it.
Okay, I'm definitely rooting for JT, I think.
Coach, you're getting me tipsy!
Okay, so it wasn't a jury questioning worthy of Sue in season 1, but I thougth it was pretty damn good! Good thing these 2 don't have to go back to camp together, LOL.
JT and Stephen sound like a married couple having a fight. You hurt my feelings when you said that...well I don't want to talk about it...
There was no sue thing, and I thought Sierra would have gone there, or maybe Erin... but I thought it was -- I never say this word but here goes -- awesome.
What does Steven do for a living? He doesn't handle the stress of having to present himself well. He looks nervous and rather shifty. JT looks laid back and comfortable in his own skin.
Million to JT! Can't wait for the reunion!!
Anyone notice that Erin's lower lip naturally goes into a come hither thing? lol
Who do you think won? And who was Taj speaking about?
Laurie, after you see the show please let me know what JT said on the way back to camp.
Please no planes, trains or motorcycles, Jeff.
OMG look at the two boys in real life!
JT is a playuh!
Here we go............
And here we go....
Can't believe Steven kept the beard!
They clean up so well. Stephen looks cute in those glasses and JT is a doll. I see Stephen likes his new beard-look.
JT is so much cuter without the beard!
JT is cute.
Trying to see coach without the beard. I was looking at the computer.
