And if the much-hyped, cross-tribal Exile alliance is going to come to anything, this is exactly the place (and the numbers, since there are five of them) where they'd need to do it. And if they can, they can still keep their pair of hidden idols safely pocketed. If so, the bootee should be one of the four remaining Timbiras: Coach, Tyson, Debbie or Erinn.     Coach "the Dragon-Slayer" was seen in Ep7 concocting a dastardly scheme to oust Brendan. So he's an attractive target. He's also extremely useful as an F2 goat, however, and was fairly useless in challenges, at least when they were tribal. So maybe he should get a pass.    Tyson is then the favorite for this week's boot. He's seen (by Coach at least, and now JT and Stephen) as Coach's lieutenant, and he's strong in challenges. He's also fairly likeable/charming, and could be a late-game threat. If he doesn't win immunity himself, he's a good person to get rid of early. At least in theory.    Debbie seems like an unlikely pick. And Erinn is only loosely affiliated with Timbira in the first place. Either one (or both) could be much more valuable as a swing vote to even up the Exile alliance 3-2 Jalapao-Timbira imbalance later on.    A larger, more metaphysical, question might be: what happens to Debbie once Tyson gets booted? So far, her role on the show has entirely been as Tyson's portable laugh track. Considering the fake "lightning" layered over Coach last week, we wouldn't put it past the editing crew to start cutting to shots of Debbie doubled over, gasping for air, several times during each of Tyson's confessionals. (Please feel free to blame us if they do). So anyway: if Tyson's voted off, does Debbie disappear in a puff of smoke, too? Just asking.    More as more details emerge. Have some info we missed?
