Didn't Jeff also criticize Ozzie by saying he wrapped the rope wrong. That was when Ozzie was slow in coming back through the water.

Jeff seems to think he has to point out the obvious.

During the Redemption Island contest, I think the four on the sidelines should not be allowed to comment.

I can say this from the sideline since I will not be there next week: "Go Christine, beat Ozzie!"

Ouch! (Looking at Sean's recap photo of Edna hitting the bar.}

The Edna incident shows how stupidly dangerous these competitions can be. Jeff's sympathetic comment of "She almost knocked herself out" warmed my heart.

Cochran should have yelled "Shut up" to his team mates as they sat around encouraging him and filling him with courage to face Christine. It was all for naught. Ozzy flipped and went to RI himself. No, on second thought, Ozzy flipped OUT and went to Redemption (non) Island.

Thanks for you great recap Sean.

As much as I dislike Christine I'd love to see Ozzie get his "redemption....NOT" next week and be beaten by her.

I can't stant Cochran! All this time in the South Pacific, and he is still fish-belly white! Yes, I know about sunburn, but 15 minuts a day would help!

They better have a merge because I want to see a lot more of Ozzy! With only two hot guys on the show now, I surely don't want to lose one!

While I feel it is always appropriate to thank God for the blessings in our lives - as Coach was doing in the sea - I am pretty sure He isn't "into" Survivor, so the rest of the religiosity was a bunch of crap to me.

Disliked the "religious" aspect. No matter which ghod you believe in, I cannot for one second thing that diety cares who wins Survivor. Pray that your higher power makes YOU a better person, not a game winner.

Some folks just do not tan, skin doesn't have the ability. Good for Cochran for decreasing his skin cancer risk.

Jim is playing a very good "under the radar" but "still in control" position I've seen in a long time. He knows WHEN to shut up (of course he should share some of the blame in the loss but he's not going to put himself in danger). He has Dawn & Cochran under his thumb, and he has the ear of Keith. He's going to be the first to find any weakness in the Blue tribe after the merge (i.e. if Christine survives to return to the game, she will be his third).

That competition looked like it lasted for a very long time. Did Rick do/say anything? He's so invisible in the editing. If Edna makes the merge, she is so safe for quite a while and could go to the end (not a physical threat).

Jeff tweeted that rules said Ozzy could have taken the idol to RI with him (but if he lost then the idol gets re-hidden on the Red beach).

If God had the slightest interest in Survivor, God would have sent lightning bolts down on Coach for his hypocrisy.

Hahaha, Puzzled! Those two 'invoking God and Jesus' scenes were just offensive and tacky. Coach and all his "honor" crap make me want to throw up.

In defense of Cochran and his "belly white" skin I say kudos to him for protecting himself from the intense sun. I've always been fair skinned and was in Hawaii once, on the beach, for a very short time and ended up with 2nd degree burns (blisters!) on my upper back. It was quite painful. I sure wouldn't want that on a Survivor show; especially if there was a higher risk of infection.

Fair skin which easily burns is just another reason, along with his lack of any physical prowess, aptitude, or strength, to NOT put himself on this show.

With that reasoning you just should give up on many things in life that you may enjoy just because you have certain disabilities or disadvantages??? And really, because of skin color, people are thinking he should go home or not play??? <77>

I can not believe Ozzy's logic of going to RI. Christine's "team" dislikes her and he can easily have her come to his team and use her for a few challenges until he does not need her anymore. When he asked to be sent to RI I thought "UH are you crazy?" I like Ozzy but I think dumb move.

Being realistic, he has absolutely NO chance of winning Survivor and he must know this, so why even bother going on the show, being degraded and suffering physically as well as depriving someone who could possibly win it the chance? And I have not seen *anyone* post that he should go home because of his 'skin color'. Where did you read that? <77>

I think I'm being (happily) maniupulated by the editing this season. I started out hating Coach, cheering for Ozzie, then started hating Ozzie and rooting for Coach, and now I've gone full circle. I hate Coach's hypocrisy, and he's beginning to be the victim of hubris. He fakes humility and caring, which is a lot worse than Ozzie's form of hubris, which is simply "I'm the Second Coming" (which is what he wants to be, literally). I sense a religious motif being played out here -- God, Jesus, Judas, and Satan (Coach, Ozzie, Cochran and Brandon Hantz, respectively). Heh heh.

So maybe we'll see an apocalyptic meeting between Ozzie and Brandon, on Redemption Island...with Brandon winning, setting up a Holy Trinity finale of Brandon, Cochran and Coach.

OK I'm going a little wild with my allegories, but it's fun to speculate...who would win in that case?

Brandon, Cochran and Coach in the finale would cure me of this show forever.

I understand the pale skin, I would spend the whole show with a t-shirt on, if I were out there. Of course there'd be other reasons I'd want to cover up, and I wouldn't be out there in the first place, but if I were....

Having said that, he did look really white standing next to Jim.

depriving someone who could possibly win?? What a bizarre thing to say...he has just as much right as anyone else to be there and to try to win.. and I actually hope he makes the finals....if not win the whole thing!!! Go Cochran

Cinnamon, I also don't tan much if at all. I was called GHOST in high school, LOL, I'm so pale. I'm rooting for Cochran too. I just wish Jeff would stop harping on his differences too. He's outlasted quite a few others so far - Yay for the pasty, nerdy geek. ;) And from what I hear in this thread, his arch-enemy who was constantly campaigning to oust him, GAVE him the idol for 'safekeeping'. Bwahahahaha! I don't understand the turnabout, but I love it. Haven't caught this week's ep yet. Waiting for it to show up on my On Demand channel.

Not my favourite season but it does have some interesting elements.

I find Coach interesting and entertaining. We've touched on questions surrounding prayer in the Religion thread (and we can always talk more about it there) but for here I'll say that I believe that deciding when, where and what to pray about is an extremely subjective personal decision and it is not uncommon for people to pray to better their personal or family situation. It was clear, however, that Coach's prayers to find the idol were about as false as it gets. I always thought that Coach (rightly or wrongly) tried to be a pretty spiritual person and I'd like to hear his position on why he did what he did.

Ozzy's decision to have himself voted off so he could be confident of a win on Redemption (non) Island (LOL - shout out to Sean on that one) was rather egomaniacal. Christine couldn't have made her distaste for her old tribe more obvious so there wasn't any urgent need to defeat her. The only person who benefited from Ozzy's move was Cochran.

Speaking of Cochran, I so often read posts about how us fans want to see real people and real fans on reality shows and not just hunky wanabe actors. Well Cochran is about as real as it gets. He's pretty geeky, he lacks some self esteem, he's pretty pale and he isn't exactly a vibrant physical specimen (not that there is anything wrong with that). However, he has succeeded in outlasting a bunch of players so far as well as having one of the strongest physical players to ever play, volunteer to be voted out instead of him. He is the anti-Ozzy. I want to see different people on the show and I'm enjoying seeing Cochran try to play the game. I think he has a much better chance of winning Survivor than half the contestants on the Amazing Race and Dancing With the Stars have of winning their shows. The toughest thing for a player like Cochran is surviving the first vote where he is an easy target. He has more than done that.

I think cochran should have stood up like a man and went to RI- go and prove yourself and come back .... stop floating by and letting everyone else carrie you along -

I dont see how he could win- he isnt good in any of the easy challenges as a team, how in the heck is he going to outlast others in the single endurance comp at the end - seriously?

If he does make it to F4 it will be becasue he is lousy at the competitions so bring the weekest player along you can easely beat - jmo :-)

ITA Jimsky, ITA.


*I found that neat 'like/thumbs up' animation in another thread and nabbed it. Thanks to whoever originally posted it.

ETA, however one gets to the end is kind of moot, unless they break the rules. So if he's smart enough to avoid going to RI, and some other sap volunteers, hey, it's all good in my book. LOL

I still don't understand why he should just roll over and give up. Fight till the end, I would NEVER EVER tell somebody to not even try, especially, when he is a Survivor fanatic. Maybe as a parent, I just see it differently.
