Brandon is NOT Russell, so the 2.0 really doesn't fit well. He seems more like a sad puppy than mysonigistic (sic) troll.
I think this is Sophies win tonight.

His treatment of Mikayla and her supposed efforts to "tempt" him is a classic trope of misogyny and certainly appeared like misogyny to me, but YMMV.

We're running late here because of the Pats/Broncos game I guess.

About a 30-minute delay, due to football.

No where else could this west coaster find out that 60 Minutes is late, slowing the start of Survivor. Thank You, thank you, thank you!

Normally it starts on time in Canada but I guess they didn't do that with the Live Reunion Show following.

And on tonight's.....Survivor!

Recap of the rest of the season: Jeff welcomes the Survivors. Cochran talks about being a huge fan; Ozzy becomes Savaii; Coach becomes Upolo; Coach wins tribe over on the first night and sets up alliance. Coach find HII--"are the stars aligned for coach or what?"--and then lots of immunity challenge highlights and lowlights, including the grotesque pork eating challenge. Cochran flips, Savaii players get voted out; Ozzy goes to RI, where he gets stronger and seemingly sexier; Ozzy and Coach make a deal, where Coach offers his word "as a Christian man"; Thursday highlights of Upolos turning on each other, then Hantz 2.0 gives Albert his immunity necklace.

In the end, only one will remain to claim the million dollar prize....

Coach: "It all comes down to this."

RI, night 35.

hantz 2.0 greets Ozzy, where he tells him he got blindsided. He fell on his sword last night and got another sword in his back. He firgives Albert and loves him and hopes he learned from what he did. "It's all good though, bro." Ozzy says he wasn't "blindsided"; he gave up the II, so he has to stop playing with blind faith and give up the bullshit.

Te Tuna, Night 35

Sophie thought Albert would give up the II and Coach is annoyed that Albert has made little lies like this. He declares that he's sick of the "bullshit," because of course Coach never bullshits. it was an animated conversation and Coach is working himself into a froth because of perceived sleights he pretends he doesn't engage in himself.

RI, Day 36:

Tree mail. Ozzy and Hantz 2.0 have to hang in there. Ozzy says he's more prepared than he's ever been, fishing better than ever, looking hotter than before, but still not as good as Albert. To get back in the game, they have to hang on a pole for as long as they can; part of me thinks Hantz 2.0 is just going to let himself fall, but I guess not because before the challenge Ozzy told Hantz 2.0that he's one of the toughest competitors ever.

Eight minutes in and they only have 1/4 inch of wood to hang on by their toes. Ozzy decides to hang on by the edges of his toes and extend his butt out away from the pole, but, as we come back, his position has changed. They are 40 minutes in and Ozzy is "starting to lose it man." Hantz 2.0 is trying to readjust and Albert tells us "the kid is a freakin' warrior."

They are hanging on for life in this game, Probst tells us. They are getting really desparate at this point...Hantz 2.0 is sliding a bit more and is about four feet away from being out of the game for good.

Ozzy wins and is back in the game. Ozzy and Hantz 2.0 bro-hug and Hantz 2.0 says he came into the game for the chance to win $1 million, but a few days in he had a heart to heart with God and it became about that for him. He leaves telling the folks still there that he loves them.

Ozzy says that he went to RI with the hopes he'd get back into the game and that he'll push it further than ever in the game of Survivor. Coach is contemplative, trying to figure out how he can go back on his word to Ozzy "as a Christian man."

Te Tuna

Rick congratulates Ozzy and Sophie welcomes him back. Albert says it's strange to have Ozzy back: we want him out; he knows we want him out. Coach says that if he wins immunity and Ozzy is in jeopardy, he will use the HII on Ozzy. Ozzy says "who in their right mind would want to take me" to the end when he's been there on RI making friends, but Coach says Ozzy deserves to be in this game.

Coach thinks his alignments with so many people put him in a good place and this is his game to lose, like he's in the NBA finals 14 points up. "It's my game to lose." Foreshadowing a Coach loss? Or not?

IC:

Albert gives back the immunity necklace he didn't earn. "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" or something like that. Another balancing challenge. A house of cards challenge that entails balance in some way I didn't get because I was trying to concentrate on not making more typos. Sophie has run out of tiles. Coach's stack goes kaplooey. Ozzy's last tile doesn't make his pile high enough. Rick is getting virtually nowhere. Sophie asks Albert to drop his stack and come pick up her pieces, sounding very b***hy, but at the same time implicitly offering him a side deal that might not sit well with Ol' Coachy. Probst says it doesn't matter because he can't help her anyhow--so there, unpleasant Sophie.

Ozzy is getting very close, as is Coach. They are dead even. Albert loses his entire stack and seems quite annoyed. Ozzy in the lead, Coach right behind. Ozzy within inches of immunity. Ozzy one tile away.

And Ozzy wins immunity. Sophie is so man she could beat up Albert at this point, saying "I should have won that"--she practices doing houses of cards in her spare time, if you can believe it. One of the upolo is going home tonight.

I liked that immunity challenge.

Who did Sophie think she was! "Albert, let go and pick up my pieces."

Jeff "If you want him out do it by winning."

While holding onto a bar, they had to build a tower of wooden cards that reached a certain height. Tough challenge well done by Ozzy!

I'm not particularly a fan of Ozzie's, but it was great to have him call out Sophie.

I wish they would have shown us more with the Ozzie/Benjamin exchange (if there was more to it).

Ozzy, backlit by the sun so the red highlights in his hair glow like embers, tells us in confessional that he can't wait to see the Upolo kids tear each other apart.

Coach and Albert want to take out Rick, who Coach somewhat inexplicably says is the biggest threat because he's a hard worker and everybody likes his stories. Rick tells stories? Maybe he should have said more than 15 sentences on camera in that case. Ozzy tells Albert that Sophie is a frickin' brat and she's "so pretentious" for asking Albert to pick up her tiles.

Albert is considering Ozzy's pitch.

Rick wants to know what Coach is going to do. He says he'll waste a vote, but Sophie has turned on Rick. Rick thinks Coach is lying because he's like a lawyer and good at skirting the truth.

Albert thinks getting rid of Rick is a good idea. Then Ozzy drops the bomb on Albert: Coach said he'd take ME to the end and gave me his word "as a Christian man" he would take him to the end. Oh, but Albert is dumb enough to confront Coach about that! Fergawdsake, Albert. You think he's going to tell you the truth about that?

TC:

Probst: Ozzy, you knew you had to win or you'd be gone. Ozzy: Of course. I'm not an idiot.

Coach is wearing his HII.

Albert, why keep you tonight? Because I'm valuable and can beat Ozzy. But Sophie thinks she is, too, because she's won more immunity challenges than Albert, Coach, or Rick. Rick hasn't won any immunity challenges, so what's the point in keeping him around, Sophie asks.

Coach thinks this is a family. But Ozzy says, let's air this out: you told me you want to take me to the end, right? And Coach comes clean. Ozzy thinks Sophie acts like a spoiled brat and all the people going through RI have told him all Sophie does all day is sleep and lay about. "Whatever," Sophie says, in her least articulate moment of the season. In fact, she finds it hurtful and says that the criticism of her character is unique. She is breaking down and alleges she hasn't made personal attacks, even though she's been calling Ozzy arrogant to everyone in earshot.

The tears flow like wine.

She says she's learned more about her weaknesses than she has her strengths: she's losing skin instead of thickening it. Ozzy's criticism has really hit, especially because it's come from everyone and she doesn't want to be thought of as a spoiled, selfish b***h (but what about that immunity challenge today, Sophie?). All of this has Dawn tearing up because it's Dawn's ontological vocation to tear up whenever adversity appears.

Here are the votes:

Rick
Sophie
Rick
Sophie
Rick

Hantz 2.0 shakes his head in disgust. Coach tries to give Rick a hug, but Rick tells him to piss off--"nah, go have a seat."

Tomorrow is final immunity challenge.

Rick says, "all this talk about honesty, integrity....don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining....Ozzy's got my vote."

Coach Benjamin is such a phony, he should think about becoming one of the fake religious preachers on TV. It would suit his personality quite well.
