Girls leave boys to Survivor fight

The last two Survivor girls have been eliminated, leaving the boys - Stephen Fishbach and James "JT" Thomas Jr - to fight it out for the show's cash prize.
Former pop star Tamara Johnson-George, from Nashville, and Wisconsin hairdresser Erinn Lobdell were both eliminated from Survivor: Tocantins as Fishbach and Thomas kept their word to take each other to the end.
In next week's final, the pair will face a grilling from a jury made up of evicted - and jilted - contestants trying to decide who to vote for to win the show's $1 million prize. The winner will be announced in front of a studio audience.
Despite some last-minute wrangling, Johnson-George was first to go. Stuff.co.nz didn't get a chance to speak to the former singer, who was a member of Grammy-nominated R&B group SWV until 1997, but she told website Realitywanted.com she was shocked by her elimination.
"I was devastated! I thought the vote was completely unnecessary. It would've been easier if I hadn't been blindsided by the guys I had aligned myself with since day one."
Johnson-George - who had a tearful reunion with her husband, NFL player Eddie George, in a recent episode - said she didn't deliberately keep her famous past a secret.
"I decided to be as honest as possible," she told the website.
"The people I was on the tribe with had no idea who I was but I knew that Timbira knew all about me. I knew that if I lied at that point, it would hurt me at the merge."
Lobdell, 26, told the same website she regretted confronting last week's victim, Benjamin "Coach" Wade during the tribal council at which he was eliminated.
"I think that it was definitely not the best move on my part," she said. "I think that I would've done things a little differently, looking back. Everything I said, I meant, and I would've said it a hundred times over.
"I wish I didn't say it so publicly because of the way that JT and Stephen reacted to it."

Re #6 - don't read it if you're not interested. JT was smart not to dump Stephen, it would have been a bad look. He'd beat either easily, but there was always that risk with Erinn getting votes from her former tribe mates - especially as JT had a hand in getting most of the jury voted off.
They all deserve to be eliminated for being on such a lame arse television program. Where is my uzi?
Sad to see Taj go - I would've liked to her win. I wasn't surprised that she went before Erinn as she was a stronger competitor.
I still can't believe that Sydney went when she did, she was by far the best looker around the camp!
Who cares? How is this news?
JT would have my vote. I think stephen may have kept erinn, had he won immunity.
Taj didn't She deserved to win!
By not winning the immunity challenges Taj, Erinn and Stephen gave J.T. the easier ride to final 2. Taj was naive - how did she think they were going to get down from 4 players to final 2? She should have been working Erinn a while back for possible final 2 pairing as an alternative to relying on Stephen or J.T. to take her there. The whole game could have been different had Erinn beaten J.T. on that puzzle - pretty sure J.T. would have been voted out. Good on J.T. he made it to final 2 and still has a number of friends on the jury.
Personally, I think JT has a better chance of winning going against Stephen, so voting off Erinn is what I would've down in if I was in his shoes (I guess we'll see how that move plays out next week). I was kinda hoping that Erinn would win last night, not cause I like here, but I just wanted to see the boys scramble.
As for blindsiding Taj - I wouldn't have done it. But that's probably just because she was in S - double U - to the V. I would've kept her around and asked her to sing Can We!
