Reply #3: on JT [View All]

I just don't see a lot of flipping around. He voted with the tribe to oust Sugar, with his JAR alliance to oust Stepheme, used Tom and Colby to get rid of a non-allied threat, and then voted with his JAR alliance to oust Tom. I think once he stayed with JAR this ep, he regained their trust. He may not be making great moves, but he's making the best moves available, IMO. Steph/Tom/Colby was too tight a threesome to join, Cirie was too dangerous to JT (he'd have been first off of that alliance), and Tom was a major threat in the end-game. Plus if he stayed with Tom/Colby (and dragged in Candice) he'd have permanently pissed off JAR, so he'd have traded 3 allies for 2.5. I just think he's been in a not-so-great position from the very beginning, just as Cirie was. That tiff between Cirie and JT really hurt both of them.

How about the Heroes' being so mad about the chocolate? That was hilarious. Although chocolate was a fairly lame reward, despite Jerri's reaction.

As for losing Tom, they were losing every challenge with him, so I don't see how this hurts them at all. Their big problem is puzzles, as shown by the IC, and Tom was definitely not a puzzle master.
