I think tonight is supposed to be an exciting Survivor night.
Get out the popcorn folks.
Will Cochran show us his true macho survival skills?

can Ozzy win at RI? Will Woody Allen become a master spy like he was in Take the Money and Run?

At Savaii, Woody believes Ozzy descended from heaven--he was watching too much Coach last week--and thinks this may become "one of the single biggest and greatest moves in Survivor hsitory." Woody says he was willing to go, but the hot Keith reminds him there is a difference between willingness and actually going through with it. They try to strategize about what will happen when Woody Allen, who thinks he deserves an Academy Award (Annie Hall never happened?), tries to forge bonds with Upolo, which leads Woody Allen to do the single worst Al Pacino impersonation in history. It was exactly like Woody Allen doing an Al Pacino impersonation.

At RI, Ozzy says hello to Christine, who says "hi" and then turns over. She finds out that Cochran "played" the "HII," and Ozzy is happy to do his little play-acting game as Christine listens with faux-rapt attention. He's convinced Christine believes him; he tells us that getting voted out was either stupid or the "ballsiest" thing he's done.

At the duel: Jeff asks Ozzy whether he's surprised to find himself here, even though Jeff knows the truth, but for some reason he decides to play along with this charade. Again, Probst is not a neutral observer of the happenings here and, happily, the beautiful Albert doesn't believe it, but let me say in the strongest possible terms that I think Probst's role here, in helping Savaii and Ozzy pursue this fiction, is highly unethical.

Probst tells them that the winner of this challenge comes back into the game.

They're doing a familiar pole-to-key-to-unlock game as Probst narrates. Christine hopes "her pole will be long enough and strong enough," but it's not, so now we get to hear lots of talk about Ozzy's pole, which I have seen in pics on the internet. I can assure you, it's long enough! Is it strong enough? Who knows? But how strong does it have to be? Can Ozzy hook it? Yes.

The pole goes through the hole, which goes through the bars and it's like an episode of Oz at this point. Ozzy has his third key; Christine has none. Ozzy wins the challenge and is back in the game. Upolo looks unhappy and Jim, the marijuana dispenser/poker player says "good run, Christine."

Probst says they can now drop their buffs because they have merged. Ozzy hopes Cochran can infiltrate, but something tells me it's no going to go well because Ozzy overacts as badly as Cochran does.

Sorry missed a bit.

Coach tries to pretend he's suffered the same slings and arrows of superior intellect Woody Allen has. He's a much better actor than Woody, though, because Woody manages to believe all that hooey. Woody is telling Sophie, Coach, Albert about how Ozzy had a dream about redemption and Albert pretends to play along.

Woody and Hantz 2.0 chat; Woody says that Keith has been consistently mean, but Jim, the marijuana dispenser/poker player has a temper. Ozzy gamve Woody the HII in a "moment of trust," so "I'm going to reciprocate" and he hands back the HII. And, for some reason, Woody thinks he's in a position to decide how Survivor ends because he's a mastermind, but he's not an evil mastermind.

Day 21: Cochran is talking with Dawn, who doesn't want to draw rocks in the case of a tie and Dawn feels like there has been a good deal of disrespect, especially in the direction of Cochran. The whole thing makes Dawn emotional and she starts to cry again, thinking that she feels like they agreed to stay with the tribe and, in a confessional, says she feels like she should have stood up for Cochran sooner and she's crying again. Between Dawn and Hantz 2.0., this has been the teariest Survivor in history.

Back to the confessional, Dawn is still crying because she doesn't like the way things have been going and she's willing to make a move and stand up for what she believes in.

Individual Immunity Challenge: Awarded to one man and one woman.

They have to balance a coconut between two strings while gradually adding string to make the task progressively tougher. I wonder whether they'll put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up.

Woody struggles from the outset, but Edna is out first, followed soon after by Woody. More string: Albert looks great. Oh, there goes Whitney! Sophie is shaking and falls. Dawn wins immunity for the women.

Rick, Brandon, Ozzy, Jim, Albert, Keith, and Coach still vying for immunity. And there goes Benjamin! Rick is wobbling. "That's that cowboy strength holing on there" and suddenly we get some vaguely cowboyish music. And then Jim and Keith are gone.

More strong: Ozzy, Albert, Hantz 2.0. Sweat is dripping from Hantz 2.0's nose and it was spectacularly gross. Hantz 2.0 is gone. Ozzy seems very Zen about this. Albert has spectacular biceps and pecs! Ah, but he drops it! Ozzy wins. Dawn and Ozzy have immunity. Probst will see them at tribal.

The new tribe is called Te Tuna.

They talk about voting out Sophie, which they believe to be the most solid non-Idol choice. They want to make sure nobody is going to flip, but then Woody asks whether they want him to flip. They keep talking about the rocks and, if it comes down to rocks, Savaii has the upper hand. I'm not understanding all this strategizing, because it's complicated by who is pretending to be what and to whom. Woody "loves this game and I respect this game, but I don't believe in reducing my game to a bag of rocks."

Sophie talks to Woody and she won't tell him who they're planning on voting for. He's not very good at getting information out of people; he's just to obvious and doesn't have the skills of duplicity others have. But he's looking forward to sleeping between Coach and Edna tonight. Coach is convinced he can make Woody feel like the nerd has stood up to the bully, the weak has stood up to the strong, and lots of other bunk.

Dawn and Woody are talking and Woody, in his delusion, somehow believes that the Upolo folks are willing to protect him at the expense of their tribe. Dawn is speaking logic, but Woody says he wants to be in control for the first time in this game.

It's pathetic to watch.

Dawn admits that she has been praying about this; there are things about each of her tribemates she loves and blah blah blah. She thinks it's not right to flip and hopes he doesn't do it.

Tribal Council:

Probst suggests there might be a tie tonight. Coach agrees. Ozzy agrees. He says that if it goes to rocks, they have the odds on their side and it's all about luck at that point. Dawn says big stakes are worth a big risk. Edna thinks that if a person didn't feel "incorporated" into a tribe, it might make sense to flip. Woody doesn't do odds, "I do Survivor." Albert, looking stunning, critiques Ozzy's acting at RI by saying that it was melodramatic. And Sophie says she was insulted at how bad the acting was. Ozzy says WE do have the idol. Probst reiterates that he said WE, not me. One of them should say, "well, Jeff, you also knew it was a charade and you played along with it, so what's that bull about?" but none of them do.

Ozzy is playing the HII, giving it to Whitney, and Sophie smiles; Albert breaths a sigh of relief.

Revote for either Keith or Rick. If you want to change, this is your last chance. Woody and Dawn share meaningful looks.

OMG. Woody admits he swapped and tells Ozzy he will explain it. Jim, the marijuana dispenser/poker player, twice calls Woody a coward. Very angrily. "Don't talk to him like that. That's what you get for treating people like that," Hantz 2.0 says, and then tells Woody, "stay close to me."

Good TC!

Next time on.....Survivor!

Ozzy says Woody screwed him over. Jim says 'don't talk to me again' and even Whitney is pissed. Ozzy says he will never give up.

Keith on RI, by process of elimination, figures Cochran was the "weasel" who voted him out. And who knew Keith could do deductive reasoning like that? Keith, hope to see you and your tattoo again soon!

OK, off to Modern Family. Have a great night.

I pretty much despise Cochran. I hope he, Brandon, and Coach don't get anywhere near the final 3.

Have any of Brandon's "pals" told him yet that they have the idol?

OK, I came in here to find out what happened after only catching snippets and wound up snorting and cackling at Tish's spoiling rather than focusing on what actually happening.

Sounds like a VERY INTERESTING episode. I will watch on CBS.com tomorrow. But in the meantime, thanks again for the hee-haw, Tish. You so crayzay.

Ozzy took a huge gamble for "his" tribe by going to redemption. All of his assumptions about the merge, etc. were correct.

Cochran turned too soon! Dawn knows that she's #5 on the tribe & she even felt it was too soon. The best bet for Cochran/Dawn would have been to keep their team strong & wait to align with the remaining members of the other team later. Bad, Bad move on Cochran!

Guess i'm the only one applauding Cochran's bold move. Seriously, would you want your survivor fate decided by a rock in a bag?? It wasn't clear to me that Ozzy and Dawn wouldn't have to pull a rock from a bag too. Would they have? I think it will be very interesting to see how things start to shift, if they will protect Cochran and ditch Edna.

Brenda, I was intrigued by Cochran's move. It made sense in his case, at least. On some level. If you're Cochran.

Ozzy must have had some bad information which led him to give the Immunity Idol to Whitney.

I cannot find adequate words to describe how I feel about Cochran tonight. Hantz is not doing himself any favors by befriending Cochran.

Great job Tishela

He probably moved too soon but I think that Cochran's move took some guts. The easy thing to do would have been to stay with the tribe who he felt had treated him like crap and take a chance on picking rocks. A guy like Cochran has a real uphill battle in this sort of a game. He probably can't win no matter what he does but this way at least he is playing the game.

Yes, they joined hands, prayed and then pretended they just found it. Hantz was giddy.

I agree Jimmer. I think he moved too soon but I know I wouldn't want to pick a rock to see who goes home. I hate that part of Survivor. I was happy to see Keith go though...he was a complete jerk to Cochran. The whole team was except Dawn. I for one, have no problem seeing Ozzy, Jim and even Whitney leave soon. I want Albert or Sophie to win...and Cochran too!! but I doubt he stands a chance
