You've always been psychic in my book. My, my just look at how you always seem to know when it is time to post for the next show. Psychic I say!

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

Night 24: Jim comes to RI and narrates the story of his ouster. He calls Upolo a cult; the longer Coach keeps it going, the more he has them believing in his witchcraft, wicked witchcraft. And although he knows it's strictly taboo, when you arouse the need in him, your heart says "yes indeed" in him. Proceed to what you're leading him to.... [please fill in the rest here]

Coach says Jim is the worst kind of person because he'd never do anything for any of the Savaii people. Then he says he doesn't dictate anything, but Whitney says he dictates things like he's Jesus. I am unaware of Jesus' dictatorial skills, however.

Te Tuna, Day 25

Coach and Woody Allen get their Thai Chi on, with coach talking about angles and extensions, etc. Woody admits he's drinking the "Coach Kool-Aid," which must be the nastiest tasting Kool-Aid in the world. It tastes, I imagine, of dragons and ego and middle age. Coach is worried about Albert gunning for him, thinking he might be blindsided. So this in turn makes Cochran uncomfortable, too, because of some reason that's not actually apparent to me.

Now the "duel," with three people. Maybe it's called a treul. Jim, Ozzy, and Keith have to keep their hands up, balancing something. [ETA: this is another retread challenge I recall from a previous season.] Two will be eliminated and become the first members of the jury. This will require concentration, Jeff says, so he'll keep talking so he can try to break their concentration. HUGE stakes, jeff informs us. After 10 minutes, Rick finally speaks, rooting for Jim. So does Hantz 2.0. Whitney, who we have discovered had a showmance with Keith--and has since left her husband because of it--is rooting for Keith. Nobody is rooting for Ozzy.

I am! I saw those nekkid pics of him! He can test his social skills on me!

Jim is out. First member of jury. Keith is out. Second member of jury. Ozzy stays alive, to Albert, Coach, and Rick's dismay.

Ozzy, who had no support, says he's in the best position possible. He says he'll be nice to you on RI, make you fish, and then he will beat you.

Jim is hoping for double Redemption Island, and something tells me Probst has thought of that terrible idea, but it somehow got vetoed. Keith is gone. You know Whitney is looking to get voted off and lose at RI so she can take Keith for a test drive at Ponderosa. And you know you thought it, too, so don't look at me that way.

RI, day 26.

Ozzy gets to go fishing again. And I really want to know why they get fins so they can snorkel like this. But it's nice to see Ozzy, playing nature boy, among the fishes and the reefs and grabbing fish here and there. Ozzy feels luck to be on RI because he has the "skills and ability" and he can get set to go with a "passion and ferocity" to go back into the game and raise hell. He feels he's gotten stronger being alone instead of dealing with the internecine warfare at Te Tuna.

At Te Tuna, a shirtless Rick breaks the spell Ozzy has cast. Oy.

They can't get fish. Dawn and Woody chat about working together, and Woody says "it's possible our interests intersect," which sounds like a flirtation a law student at Harvard might make when he's out drinking scotch and soda on a Friday night. And then he says something to dawn about this not being "lip service," and I'm sure it's flirtation.

Immunity Challenge:

Balancing stuff on their heads, walking up a see-saw, and filling a basket. This looks like a tough challenge. Cochran is absolutely awful at this, to nobody's surprise. Dawn is doing well, so it Hantz 2.0, and so is Sophie. Everyone else is awful.

Sophie wins immunity and is safe tonight at TC. Jeff informs them there is a twist tonight at TC that won't be revealed until TC.

Dawn thinks anything can happen, so she's going to spend the intervening hours trying to convince the Savaii they should vote off someone else. Good luck with that, Dawn.

Back at Te Tuna, they discuss the challenge. Hantz 2.0's nose looks larger again; has he been engaging in more self-righteousness? Coach and Woody chat, worrying that he could be in danger if there's another immunity challenge at TC. At least he's been assured that Dawn and Whitney will be going before him, though. That's what Coach, in his position as "Jesus," or "dictatorial Jesus," depending upon whom one asks, has said.

Whitney says Edna is "so far up Coach's butt"--that's just gross; kill me now--and Rick isn't even playing the game. So Albert talks with Whitney and considers ousting Edna, but he tells us in the confessional that it's so he can butter up the Savaii people. And who knew Albert wears glasses? Or that they'd look so cute on him?

Hantz is trying to foster dissension with Coach and Woody about Albert talking with Whitney. In Hantz 2.0's most humble opinion, he should not be talking with those people! Over checkers, Woody and Albert talk strategy, with Albert revealing that Woody is gonna be in seventh place. Albert, shirtless in the woods with Woody, talks with Sophie about voting off Edna rather than Dawn or Whitney. Albert is lovely AND conniving. What more could you ask for?

Coach talks with Edna, saying he's playing for jury votes: "Albert's playing for Albert, which is a bad game to play out here," Coach says, unaware, seemingly, that only one person wins. Perhaps that's why HE'S NEVER WON THE GAME!

TC:

Jim and Keith are cleaned up and Whitney wants to get up and tackle Keith. Dawn argues that it's time to use her and Whitney. Whitney says Cochran will be number seven, in a group affirmation of what Albert said earlier. Woody admits he hasn't thought beyond seven and Probst denigrates him for his inability to think strategically about getting to the end. Woody says this is the best time to make a big move, and as a Survivor fan, he loves big moves.

Dawn tries to sell her loyalty; Coach talks about seeing people talking. He doesn't run this tribe, contrary to popular belief! So he's not the things everyone else says about him! Whitney declares that everyone reports back to Coach. And then Albert--Oh! Burn!--says Coach isn't the leader. In fact, he might be the figurehead. And how can a girl resist a man who uses the word figurehead?

Coach makes some veiled threat, but I didn't catch it, really. I just heard the music that means a threat had been made.

Voting:

Dawn
Edna
Dawn
Edna
Don (huh? must be Hantz 2.0's vote; he's incredibly articulate and well-read)
Dawn
Dawn

Dawn is voted out. Now the twist. Another immunity challenge, with a vote to follow.

Next time: Brandon stops catching fish and starts catching heat. Albert wants Brandon out next.

And Coach thinks that instead of calling himself Coach, he should be called Zeus. Cochran: "didn't Zeus eat his own children?" (Is this worse, then, than Whitney's theory of the dictatorial Jesus?)

Dawn arrives at RI

Ozzie better keep his paws of the coral, it is protected and fragile. He should not touch it.

Jesus was all kinds of huge, but just because he was a leader doesn't mean he was dictatorial. And he certainly wasn't a just a figurehead (unlike Coach).

I think it was Zeus' father who ate his children, but that's a funny line from Cochran anyway

PS I love it when Coach's delusions of grandeur/adequacy show up. It reminds me why I've consistently disliked him for so long.

Great job spoiling again, Tish, thank you!!!! And Albert was looking sly, I'm sure it was just for you.

Yeppers, it was Zeus' pappa that ate the kids. Another of those Rock challenges:

From Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus

"Birth

Cronus sired several children by Rhea: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon, but swallowed them all as soon as they were born, since he had learned from Gaia and Uranus that he was destined to be overcome by his own son as he had overthrown his own father— an oracle that Zeus was to hear and avert. When Zeus was about to be born, Rhea sought Gaia to devise a plan to save him, so that Cronus would get his retribution for his acts against Uranus and his own children. Rhea gave birth to Zeus in Crete, handing Cronus a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, which he promptly swallowed."

Yes Zeus' Dad ate a rock. They could add this to Survivor as a tie breaker.

Great spoiling Tishala. Better than the show!

Is it because that they are on their third show that makes Ozzy and Coach so cocky?

I am wndering if Albert and Cochran DID jump ship, and their votes were not read out in an attempt to keep Coach in the dark! There WERE two votes that we didn't hear -

I was thinking that it is their cocky personalities that keep the producers of Survivor bringing them back...although on the first season I didn't find Ozzy cocky, just incredibly able to adapt to the environment, which in earlier years was more of what Survivor was about (IMO). No matter how you feel about him, he should be given respect for the amazing way he manages to handle the adverse conditions and adapt...Ozzy could go native without a whole lot of trouble...LOL!

In the previews for next episode - the recap one - didn't I hear something about how hungry they are? I certainly hope so - and it serves them right!
