Episode Summary

EDIT

Joe and Sydney are talking at the Jalapao campsite and Sydney voices her concern that she might be the next to go if all the boys stick together. But Joe assures her she'll be safe. Over on Timbira, the tribe argue with "Coach" about how to cook their beans and end up with a burnt meal. Back on Jalapao, Taj and Stephen wonder if they should include J.T. in their Exile Alliance.

Timbira wins a reward to visit a waterfall and a meal. On Exile Island, Joe and Erinn figure out the clues to the hidden immunity idol. On Jalapao, Taj realizes that Joe will have all the clues and decides to make a fake idol. Before going fishing, J.T. finds Taj's idol and so she then decides to include J.T. in her alliance.

After Jalapao loses the Immunity Challenge, Joe finds the fake idol thinking it's the real one. He then talks with the others and decides to vote for Taj. The newly formed alliance discuss things with Joe and tell him that Taj should stay. But then at the last second, J.T. may change his mind.moreless

Timbira gets the advantage going into the merge.

7.5

By rocket16, Jun 22, 2009

I feel that was a good episode, but not as good as other episodes in his season. Coach showed how much of a jerk that he is when he completely disregards the best interests of the tribe and does what he wants to do. Timbira won the immunity challenge meaning that they will have an advantage going into the merge 6-4. At tribal council J.T., Taj, and Stephen voted out Sydney even though Joe wanted them to vote out Taj. I feel that Jalapao made the right decision in voting out Sydney because this means that Jalapao will be more unified at the merge.moreless

Coach is full of it!

7.5

By JPPT1974, Apr 09, 2009

Everybody hates Coach and that even though, he is a producers' dream, he really is getting to be a nightmare to, his tribemmates. Don't like Tyson either. But also, if you have to chose, he is the lesser of the two evils. Meanwhile, JT doesn't know if he is safe or not. As the new tribe alliance, want him to vote out Sydney. But he wants to vote out that Taj. Because Taj is dangerous. Plus, Taj made a fake idol, hence Bob from last season. The tribe Tyson and Coach are on, is the least liked tribe but also, they show humbleness. Would be a lot better if they could get rid of those two. As it would make life better for their tribemmates. Sydney, who felt safe, was blindsided. Another blindside in the show.moreless
