A friend of mine made me do one of those personality tests, which of course came back way on the introverted side. She told me not to be upset, and that there were kind of little challenges you could set yourself to try to become more extroverted. She really thought there was a "bad" side of the dial and introverted was it. I think that's what Jeff's like, he doesn't think Cochran is normal, because Jeff's the extroverted jock and Cochran is so different from him, and he just can't help but point it out to everyone, so that they can all marvel with him at this supposed freak of nature. It's really unprofessional, imo, and he's very lucky Cochran isn't the type to be hurt by it.

i think jp hounds him cuz in 1st ep he asked to be called by his last name like JP has done for all the greats.......so since jeff has obliged him I think JP wants him to give him something in return......to be a great player! keep in mind jp doesnt see what is going on behind scenes so he only sees him in challenges and he sucks so jp is prolly pissed he obliged him calling him by his last name... I am sure now jp is just fine t6hat he called him that cuz he has turned out to be memorable

I agree with Kitt, Kappy and everyone else mentioned Jeff blaming Cochran for the twisted ropes when Jim was there too. Also, wasn't it Dawn and Ozzie that got them all tangled up in the first place while they were in the water?

I mentioned above that Jeff called out Ozzie for messing up the ropes. He doesn't just pick on Cochran. Maybe Jeff is more of a fault finder that a praiser.

I'm pre-guessing that the comp between Christine and Ozzy will be more strength related as opposed to skill or intelligence in order to give Ozzy the edge because I would bet cold cash the producers behind-the-scene told him it would make him look even more like a God to offer himself up as a sacrifice and then win to come back. I don't believe for a second that he suddenly thought of it. I would pray for Christine to beat Ozzy but I agree with others that God has way more IMPORTANT things to do. If I had my way, Dawn will go all the way and take Cochran along to guarantee her win. Who's Rick?

Thx Angel, it warn't me trying to speak Spanish. I just happen to post the Latino Amazing Race when they upload to YT. But I bet the others that were discussing will be happy for the explanation.

Kappy, Dalton shows in his recap that Ozzy was talking about sending himself to RI before the game even started. He does a pre-game interview with Oz. Here at the link, if you look at the bottom of the page, is the video of that. Ozzie: Pt 1 http://tvrecaps.ew.com/recap/survivor-south-pacific-episode-7-ozzy/5/

I am in the process of watching some of the old Survivors. And the more I watch all I can say is I am sick and tired of listening to Jeff's constant rambling during the challenges. He is starting to annoy me. Does anybody else notice his constant yammering?. On the old shows I have been watching I just turn on mute. I can see who's ahead and falling behind so don't need to hear him doing all that yelling.

Sammi, I have such a huge crush on Jeff that it doesn't bother me.

I personally find Jeff's intimate connection with and excitement about what is going on to be very engaging - However, we all like different thngs so the mute button is probably a good choice for you if that keeps you watching the show!

I've noticed it, but I also figured at least some of it was to keep both teams informed since they are concentrating only on their team. Jeff's commentary (theoretically) helps keep them apprised of the other team's progress and allows both teams to "see the big picture" as the competition continues. Sometimes it bugs me (during the concentration or endurance competitions) and sometimes it doesn't. Jeff is right up there with Phil, so I tend to enjoy whatever he's doing as long as I can watch him!

Jeff does go on and on but I thought it was because producers don't like 'dead time.' A lot of times I am on the computer or reading a book while Survivor is on and Jeff fills in on what I am missing. Besides, Jeff can do no wrong. He has dimples.

Ita with Teachmichigan and Dogdoc. While Jeff's play-by-play can be irritating once in a while, it does serve the purposes mentioned, both to fill in the air that would otherwise be 'dead' while the contestants play and to keep them informed while playing. The dimples definitely help with the irritant factor... ;)

I agree that Jeff has become more vocal and critical in recent seasons. However, I like Jeff and I've never been a fan of "class detentions". So his comments on individual performance and his play by play is okay for me. I think he is one of the best hosts on TV.

I like Jeff too, but sometimes I think he helps the other team with his comments. Gets the other team to look over and see what someone is up to. Mind you they can look over on their own with out his help. Kappy love your "Who's Rick?" question!
