Okay, I can't hold it back anymore. I love Coach! Don't get me wrong, the guy is a complete and utter tosser, but as far as being a TV character
goes, he's killing it. Dragon slayer style. 
(Note I
didn't say reality TV character. Clearly, he's stretching those boundaries)
The Amazonian dwarfs story had me in tears! You couldn't write this stuff -- it's brilliant! They are editing him so well, it's fantastic. And I can't blame them -- he's providing brilliant fodder. If it wasn't about slaying the dragon or calling in military favours to drop him into a Nat Geo-wanted guerilla jungle expeditions (that only three people in the world know about!), it's being a well studied expert at the art of underarm throwing steel balls onto tiles, or learning sacred Buddist meditations that have no record in history. "If you Googled it nothing would come up, it's passed down verbally."
Okay, okay -- enough. Back to the rest of the game.
Whoever flipped (I'm guessing JT and Stephen) made a big mistake. They were guaranteed Top 5, including having eliminated two of the massive players (Coach and Tyson), and edging themselves in the favours jury against two of their own (Brandon and Sierra). Silly boys.
This season has really picked up in momentum in the last few weeks. Some great game play (even if the blindsides aren't as brilliant as Micronesia), a really good, fresh locale, and probably the best balanced mix of players (mental and physical) and stimulating characters that we've had to date. And the challenges have been a good mix, too. I just hope the tail end of the game delivers. This includes Coach being on the jury. Probably at Tyson's hand. Honestly, I'd much rather was Coach's final jury speech that have him sitting there. And we all know he'll will the America's Survivor $100k anyway!
