ITA, Calimom!!! I can't fathom anyone praising him at all for the grief he caused that woman, and all for nothing.

Don't remember anyone praising him for his psycho behaviour over Mikayla. But that doesn't mean we can't point out he treated Cochran well last episode. Few people are all good or all bad.

I don't believe the poster implied that anyone praised him for that. She wondered where his respect for Mikayla was--least that's how I read it.

Actually, that was the impression that I got from your post, Holly.

I agree that few people are all good or all bad and Brandon is a rather good example of that.

Ahhh. I just reread my post, Jimmer, and I should have written I can't fathom anyone praising him at all after the grief he caused that woman rather than 'I can't fathom anyone praising him at all, for all the grief he caused that woman'. Now I see why Kitt said that. My bad syntax. Mea culpa. Hope that clarifies what I meant.

Sure does, Holly. Thanks. :-)

I still think though that life is complex and that people do good and bad things. I think that praising someone who has done something bad in the past for a good thing they are doing in the present is positive reinforcement.

Brandon certainly showed that he has issues with women that he perceives as being temptresses towards him- major immaturity. But Brandon speaking up for Cochran who just saved Brandon's team was the right and shockingly mature thing to do.

Like life, people aren't all black or white. I'm assuming we'll see more odd behavior from Brandon before we see good behavior from him again.

We shouldn't take a good deed away from him even though he acts like raving lunatic over girls tempting him.

I found Brandon extremely creepy when he'd talk about Mikayla and feel he ruined her game unfairly.

However, I loved it when Brandon told Jim not to talk to Cochran that way at TC when Jim was angry and calling Cochran a coward.

Brandon does seem over the top with the whole temptress thing but there were comments made at the time that came out that Mikayla was comfortable around guys or the group (it was too many weeks for me to remember exactly).

The point was it seemed like Mikayla had a laissez faire attitude about changing clothes and being revealing or seeing someone else revealed.

I have no problem with that. I am exactly like her but I think that is where Brandon got that whole temptation thing from. In the context of Survivor his attitude is missplaced but I do see where he is coming from.

Brandon mentioned that his view of the world is black and white with nothing in between. He would see any woman in a bikini as trying to tempt men. To him, the only reason a woman would expose her flesh is to tempt men. The flip side is that if he sees what he thinks is an injustice, he won't just sit idly by and let it go. Where a more mature or flexible player might just wait and see what the tribe dynamics are, in Brandon's black and white world when someone does something he disapproves of, he's going to say something right then and there with no filters.

I think he will be devastated when he finds out that Coach had that fake prayer to find an idol he already had found. He might not have known about it until he saw it on the show. It will be interesting if it is brought up at the reunion show.

My first recollection of Brandon seeing Mikala as a temptress was when she was up on top of their shelter helping to build the roof -

I ever and always believe you see what you look for -

I think the comment "You disgust me" to Cochran in the preview, was uncalled for. Was that Dawn who said it?

It looked like Whitney to me too. TeamOzzy best keep it together mentally otherwise it'll cause distraction in the next challenge. I'm so not happy with the meaness showed toward Cochran, or anyone in general. I say get over Cochran turning on you and figure a way to steal someone from TeamCoach to vote with your block.

I guess I just don't understand why it was okay for the team to openly taunt Cochran with being voted out but when he makes a move to last in the game longer....he is berated?

I dislike that whole team now...

I like your post Lilfair. It highlights what keeps me coming back to Survivor despite its many short falls.

They don't always do what is plainly logical. The stress of the game and the interactions of the group can produce some pretty interesting twists of behavior.
