It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
For whom?
For JT and Stephen. By voting out Sydney, you lose an ally in Joe and keep an ally in Taj. By voting out Taj, you keep *two* allies and the immunity idol. Moreover Taj is more of a final-three threat than Sydney or Joe. Finally, as was pointed out, her alliance with Timbira is kind of a mixed blessing. They probably couldn't know this, but Jalapao is better off being allied with Erinn than Brendan and Sierra. Of course, Erinn didn't seem to realize that the low man on the totem pole switches sides, but maybe they left that for a future episode.

I don't know, I think it is always dangerous to keep a guy's girlfriend around because it is such a strong two-person alliance. And I'm not sure they lost Joe since they talked about it beforehand and gave him reasons for it. It wasn't a blindside.
Plus, they absolutely have to convince 2 people from Timbira to flip and Taj is their best chance for that. And because the 4-person alliance is secret (for now), Stephen leaves his options more open by keeping Taj around. For JT, it's more of a crapshoot, but I think the whole way they handled him finding the "hidden" idol thing was smart and the main reason he chose the way he did.
I do agree about Taj being a bigger threat down the line.

Ooh! Awesome! I always wanted my hairdresser to do it. She'd be highly entertaining. No way she could deal with the time limits on challenges though.

Yeah, she said that was her biggest concern. I said she should incorporate her coffee cup into my hair, and do it in 20 minutes! But no.
