Cochran gave the immunity idol back to Ozzy in last week's episode and Ozzy promptly wasted it by using it to protect Whitney.

I can't stand Brandon's narrow views. I thought Whitney's tears were genuine but at the same time she needs to realize it wasn't just Cochran who ruined her game. Cochran had a better chance with his original tribe members.

Yes, what Jimmer said. Cochran gave Ozzy the immunity idol back when Ozzy returned from II. He didn't seem to even think about keeping it. I'm not sure Cochran's chances were better with his original tribe. I don't think any of them would have thought to drag him along as someone easy to beat in the finals. But I think the other tribe might, knowing how despised he is by his old team, they would never vote for him to win. It really remains to be seen what he can do with his game. And I love how Cochran pointed out that rocks haven't been drawn since season 4 -- it's not how you play this game smartly! I still can't believe so many were willing to draw a rock. I think imunity island gives them confidence they can renter the game. But the 3 strong men are now there together and only one will return.

Coach's team, according to them, will put Cochran out before any of them. That is 7th place no matter which way you look at it.

That is 7th place no matter which way you look at it. Yeah, they made it quite clear last night that ALL Savaii would be gone before any Upolu. If Cochran had stuck with his tribe, he would have been 6th place, which is better money than 7th. Also, further in the game he would have had a better opportunity to flip after some of the Upolu were voted out; and at that time, he probably would have had Dawn's support as well.

I'm spoiler-free, so I think it remains to be seen what will happen. It was clear to me that Brandon meant All of Savaii, except Cochran, who was no longer considered Savaii as he was not expected to compete for immunity. I'm not sure 7th vs 6th is that much different and I'd take it over drawing a rock out of a bag.

I thought it was incredibly cheezy with the shot of Ozzy and the rainbow. Just because he can fish doesn't mean he should win. He had a temper tantrum a few weeks ago that turned me off! she needs to realize it wasn't just Cochran who ruined her game. - about Whitney I completely agree, what other game plan has Whitney had? Have we even heard anything from her before and if I remember correctly she didn't do so hot at the challenge with the grappeling hooks. I am disappointed that more plans weren't put into play. At least Jim gave it a shot.

Actually, nothing could be cheesier than the promo for next week when Ozzy is standing up in the top of the tree overlooking the ocean. uuuuggghhh

Here's the thing - if Cochran didn't switch then there would have been the rock pick. SOMEONE was going to get the black rock and leave, changing the balance of power to one tribe. Then that tribe would pick off the other. No way to tell which would have come out on top. But it would have been predictable after that. So it could have been a Savaii member anyway and then Upolu still would have been picking them off one by one (the only difference is that Cochran would have been one of the targets but probably not until the end since he's so weak at the challenges). We would have all been pissed at the rock pull cause a player sent to RI would have been random and I guarentee we would have all been bitching about the stupid rock and that it should have been a challenge or something.

I just don't get the rock pick thing anyways... didn't they do firemaking challenges recently when there was a tie? Make it a challenge, not a game of chance. That just shouldn't be any part of this game. ever!

Yeah, what happened to firemaking to break a tie? I am hoping for a Sophie or Albert win.

I think they did firemaking when one of the tribes had dwindled to 2 people prior to the merge. But my memory is not always the best. And I agree. I think firemaking is a better tie breaker. Whoever thought of the bag of rocks needs to be hit upside the head with a bag of rocks. I guess it does serve to prevent ties, whereas firemaking might encourage people to vote for ties.

Lexie, Ozzy was staring off into the distance looking for me. I keep trying to tell him I'm married and off the market, but I guess the heart wants what the heart wants.

I get annoyed when people whine about someone ruining their game. Does it never occur to them that the other person is probably playing their own game and doesn't give a fat rat's fanny about playing the 1st person's game? Boo Hoo so and so just cost me a million bucks. News flash, so and so wasn't trying to win you a million bucks.

I have a brilliant idea. If there is a tie they use the rocks in a bag. The person who draws the black rock cannot vote and the rest of them vote again.
I shall add it to the rule book.

I like it Dogdoc! The thing I really hate about the tie breaker is the 2 people voted for are instantly safe. How unfair is that?!

No, no, GAL! If you carefully, you will see that Ozzy is looking directly toward Tennessee! AND besides in another thread, IMMEDIATELY after a post of mine about Ozzy, Auntiemike said - and I QUOTE! - "You can have Ozzy . . ." So there!

I don't recall co-signing that post from Auntimike, TNT, therefore it doesn't count. And his gaze was a bit to the north of Tennessee, directly at Indianapolis. You just couldn't tell because your trifocals are about two prescriptions out of date. Ahem.

I think if Cochran would have felt a part of the tribe, then he would not have flipped. Did they really not let him sleep in the shelter with them? I felt embarrassed for Ozzy when he made his "master plan" exit speech. Not sorry for him, embarrassed. He thinks he is going to win at RI but Keith might just beat him. It all depends on the challenge. Jim's comment on arrival at RI about them supposed to be the final three was a classic! If I could have seen that kind of humor out of him in the days prior, I might have been a fan.

I thought Ozzy was joking when he said that about the "master plan"?
