In a departure from the mode, I'm just going to address some points I agree with.
Absolutely right about Stephen's FTC game plan. I thought he did a pretty good job in FTC, but his strategy of "growth in the game" was the wrong one. When you are down by 3 TDs in the 4th quarter, you need to throw it deep. He was not aggressive enough, though he tried to be in the end with Taj. Too little too late. He needed to point out the fact that strategically JT rode Stephen's coattails. Point out the fact that JT's response to every boot was "whatever you want, man." Point out the fact that HE controlled the game, not JT.
Of course, as I discussed with my wife at the time, using that strategy also admits to ultimate culpability in the boot of every jury member. Such a strategy could easily have backfired. Regardless, short of exposing JT as Usama Bin Laden in disguise, or managing to hypnotize the entire jury, I don't think Stephen really had any chance. Debbie said she was undecided and then asked JT a question he could admit to and look good and a question for Stephen he has no choice but to admit to and look terrible.
I also agree keeping Erinn and booting Coach was the wrong choice. Coach would have stayed with him to the end. Really, as I mentioned before, JT participated in a number of moves that were good for Stephen, but bad for him. I think initiating the ADS by taking out Tyson was premature as well, a spasmic reaction to Tyson's IC run. Taking out Tyson left JT as the clear biggest threat in the game, putting a target on his shoulders. Fortunately for him no one even considered working with Sierra, and Taj made no postmerge moves whatsoever. The women could have easily gotten together at that point and booted all the men.
