Watching Survivor

Awww, don’t they all clean up pretty?!

Welcome to the live Reunion show - JT are you crying? “YES!” JT says he’s happy and created the best friends he ever had, his parents are crying, it’s the happiest he’s ever been, and Jeff tells him he’s one of the most loved players they’ve ever had. Peoples ay hate coach, love JT. What’s the reaction been at home? JT says it’s hysterical, they LOOOOOOOOVE me, I love them too, they’ve been very supportive, and he says he didn’t even tell anyone, even his parents thought he was fourth at best. Ha!

Jeff asks if it was easy for him being outdoorsy? He says it was very hard, even day 12 he was questioning what the hell hew as doing, he was starving, and couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, hardest thing he’s ever done.

Why Stephen? He said that he was the only guy he doubted the most - day three of four hew as working harder than anyone and hs the best heart of anyone he knows. Stephen, what was the key to the alliance? He says they always clicked, it was always about bein there to win a game, work together constantly to make sure they were there at the end. He had an inside mole in the game - and Stephen says yeah,Coaches relationship with JT, he’d tell JT everything. Tyson would tell Coach, and Coach would tell JT, and coach laughs and says “I’m the gift that keeps on giving!” and Tyson jokes “He owes me a million dollars”

What did it feel like to let JT know he wouldn’t have lived up to taking him in the end, and Stephen says that Debbie was seeking an answer, her question to JT was “isn’t it true your the greatest person that ever existed” (hahahha!) And it felt horrible to say it. JT admits that his disappointment was put on, he was playing for the votes, he knew it would have been hard for Stephen or anyone to take him.

Brenden - what happened? He says too much disfunction and a power struggle between him, coach and tyson, they set themselves up for it. Jeff says he gives erinn credit, because he says that to win you have to make a big move - and she did it. She says that you have to look at what you’ll do to stay longer, and if you can be 6th or 4 - clearly your gonna be 4. She was still at the bottom, but was higher then it was wen she jumped tribe alliance.

Taj - did anyone ever talk about taking JT out?! She says no one ever discussed it, because going into the merge, it was them three to the end, and she didn’t want to make that final decision, but no one ever talked about JT…

Jeff pulls out the TOOTH! Brenden found it, you didn’t want it, and Jeff says “I want it!” and says he kept it all this time - JT says it’s useless to me, but my mom probably wants it, and Jeff goes to say hi to mom. Marie says she’s extremely proud, and she knew the whole way he could win the game, she told him for 3 years he could. Hows it feel to have a son with a lot of money and she says that she don’t have to worry about him anymore. Jeff gives her the tooth. Awww.

:18 Commercial!

:24 Welcome back! Taj - of all the seasons, she was one of the biggest surprises, he never would have guessed that people would love her like they do, he was wrong. They show a picture of her as a pop star - how cute! It’s a glamerous life, how much of a culture shot was Survivor? She says that it was hard to adjust to outdoors life, she is used to a gas stove, and to drink from a river and it was a huge shock and once she caught on, she was building fires for JT and it was cool. She’s got some wear and tear on the arms - there’s a lot of bite scars, and she says her back and legs, and her skin was her biggest asset and she ws chewed up and is just crushed, she felt it was time to go home.

Jeff asks her to relive the moment she heard “I see you back at camp” cuz Jeff still has a little bruise - she says it was completely out of her control at that point OMG HE WAS HERE! Jeff says it was only 30 days, people say that all the time, that it’s not that long, and she says that she neeeeeeeded him, that day couldn’t come fast enough, it’s a lot of contact to zero over night and it’s hard.

They go out and talk to Eddie George, ya made your living getting beat up, how proud of her are you? He says he had no idea what was going on and when he saw her.. she’s the rock of the family, she keeps him in check. They said Eddie George started fire like THAT - he was a royal ranger, and Jeff says “Next season, Eddie George!”

Jeff says everything needs a balance - to offset the lovely Taj, there was the nasty Tyson! hahah! Tyson, what has been the reaction from the Morman community? Tyson says that public loves him, but people in their hearts probably don’t hold that much love for him and he says great men are loved or hated - Jesus, Joseph Smith, but I’m not like them, but you hate me at first, love me, then can’t live without me.

Sierra - first impressions, they wanted you gone, it never rally left, and universally despised. Was it a shock to you? Tyson, Coach, Debbie? She says it was really hard to start out and get voted out and make the right choices - she knew that she was honest and making the right decision, but it doesn’t take a good person to win this game, maybe if not for my morals I would have won. She learned that she’s been dependent on other people, and when they moment they turned on me, she says she found herself, she figured out after days of ruthlessness, she fought to the death and “I SLAYED THE DRAGON! I SLAYED THE DRAGON!”

Up next - he was the most colorful, memorable character ever -the Dragon Slayer, Coach is next!

:36 We’re back with a clip of Coach. Ha! Jeff says it’s been a while since having everyone as contriversal and colorful as Coach. He figures a lot of people missed him once he was voted off. What has been the reaction from folks he doesn’t know? He says that people are a lot o wow, they watched because of you, but in the back of their mind might be thinking they hate me. Friends and family understand - he loves making his mark on the game, which he did with his outfits, feathers, exile…

Jeff brings up the Amazon story, and he gives a little rundown - when he told the story, did he think they were glad I told it, they don’t buy it. Coach says it doesn’t matter, when you speak the truth, but there was something nagging about telling that story. Jeff says he offered a lie detector test, and he refused. Everyone says “i wonder why?! I already proved him a liar!” Coach says what would that have proven. Coach says “Here’s the thing, you guys have handled my reputation for the last 3 months, I wanted to handle it myself. You have never been blindsided - I did take that lie detector test and I have the sealed envelope here.

Jeff says that he loves it. Jeff says He wants to open it. It has the guys name, and you can call John Groagan which he will be calling, and Coach says he has a video too. Sure, he took the test with no one knowing - Will be be proven to be telling the truth? The audience believes.

QUestion two - ON your Trip down the amazon, were you captured by natives? the answer is YES and it says that he telling the truth. The audience isn’t buying it. He says he believed him the whole time. Hahaha!

Debbie - going back to school as principal, was she worried? The reaction has been amazing and positive, and everyone understands that lying is part of the game, they liked seeing her look filthy and gross and the kids loved it.

Back to Coach - who does he have with him - Coaching staff, book author, and a special lady friend. LAdy Friend Melinda…. question - simple answer, is the coach we saw on the show, is that the guy you know? She says “You only saw Coach, not Ben Wade who I know and love.” Jeff says “Does the dragon slayer make it into the bedroom?” and she says “I slay the dragon!”

Awesome. *LOL*

Carolina, whenever your the first off, can you still enjoy watching the game? She says it sucked, should have kept her mouth shut, but Survivor is a gift, she made it over a lot of others and she’s proud of Jalapau making it all the way, no regrets.

Sandy - something crazy. She says that you never get a second chance to make a first impression but she did, and is very glad - though she went for the idol instead of helpin. Jeff tells her she looks good all dolled up.
