The whole "shouldn't Albert give the necklace back" thing was appalling (especially for Albert). Of course, in the real world, he should have but for Pete's sake, Albert seems to be playing to win and not for God.

That conversation may have cost Albert the game, because now the jury is all "what a shit Albert is, taking that simple kid's necklace from him."

Neither here nor there - Albert would have been out tonight anyway, so it's a no winner for Albert.

Csnog, I don't think it's his head that Brandon is having handed to him by his family. I hate to say that his dad was right (because he acted a jerk, let's face it), but Brandon could have provided well for his (future) family with a win. (I don't think Daddy was thinking about the future family, though, I think he was thinking about the present family, himself most of all}

If Brandon wasn't such a shit about women early in the season I might actually work up a tear for the simpleminded kid. But . . .

Well, we have a whole new strategy. When you double cross someone, you tell them it was God's will. How can they get mad at you for following God's will?

Of course, that depends upon the person who you are screwing over believing that God gives a rat's petoot about who wins Survivor.

Great show. What an evening full of surprises!

Brandon was right, this game was not made for him.

So, any chance he'll beat Ozzy?

It was actually a very smart strategy of Coach to say he sent Brandon to Redemption to beat Ozzy. Brandon is the only one who might buy that line.

Well that was brutal though I confess that I found it pretty entertaining as well. So many classic expressions on the faces of the jury. I'm sure Sophie thinks she is surrounded by lunatics and the jury members still can't believe those guys beat them. Too funny.

I do feel bad for Brandon. I'm not sure he will learn anything from this experience though as people like Brandon have a way of rationalizing these things. He'll just think that God has other plans for him (and who knows).

Coach and Sophie are playing a very good game.

Well, that was annoying of Sophie to lay there 'smelling the pizza' while Brandon and Rick ate.

I found Dawn's facial expressions highly annoying tonight.

I guess I am just annoyed.

At some point in tonight's show, either when Brandon was fist bumping God and thanking him FTW, or when Coach was prostrating on the sand asking God who to vote out, and God was whispering the same name in his head over and over, I was sort of expecting a speed boat carrying the men in white coats to drive onto the beach and cart them all away. Survivor has reached new lows this season. Oh, and Albert isn't looking quite so good now, is he?

It cracked me up that Coach said God kept putting Brandon's name in his head. Yeah, "God, should I vote out Brandon? Is it okay to vote out Brandon? Do you want me to vote out Brandon? Why do I keep hearing the name Brandon? I guess I'd better vote out Brandon."

What a show. I loved seeing all the faces of the jury members. I think I'm pulling for Sophia for the win. She deserves it after putting up with these loons for 30+ days.

God might not care who wins.

But I bet God does care who uses Brandons belief in forgiveness and Gods will to stay in a silly game.

Albert used it to manipulate Brandon and Coach used it to justify his vote.

Outwit, Outlast, Outplay...... but OutPray is just icky.

My skin just crawls whenever Coach is on the screen now. I don't mind straightforward lying and deceiving (in the game) like Albert is doing, but there's something just so ... sordid in the way Coach does it.

I find Brandon fascinating, he must be a psychiatrist's dream. Everything that goes on at camp is a shock to him, he never sees anything coming. I would love to know what is going on chemically in his brain.

I keep looking for Edna @ Ponderosa, but CBS is sure slow to deliver tonight.

I wonder though (could be editing, I will admit) but has ANYONE seen Coach actually do ANYTHING? Other than flapping his gums & doing his yoga? Edna was washing clothes, Brandon/Rick/Albert were trying to catch fish, Ozzie was catching fish. Coach just seems to be laying around and ASKING if people caught fish.

And, what was that crooked wood that Brandon was so busily working on, with the hammer & nail? Maybe making Coach a Cribbage board (except they don't have cards)? Coach left TC with the crooked wood under his arm.

When exactly did the Survivor bus take the wrong exit into Crazytown? These people are just insane. And Coach is even more of an ass than I ever thought. At least own up to what you did to Brandon instead of spewing crap about it being "God's will". It was "Coach's will", and last time I checked, Coach wasn't on the Heavenly Tribal Council. Geez, that man is appalling. If I hear him say he played the game with honor and integrity after this, I might just break my tv.

A good player can play the game and win without being cruel. Coach can't.

Coach was smart to use Brandon's weakness (wanting to be liked) and profit from it.

Brandon begged Coach to hug him and Ben made a big production of slowly getting out of the hammock.

Brandon chose Rick to have pizza and said he was playing from his heart.

Brandon gave Albert the necklace because he wanted Albert to like him.

I was happy that Jeff didn't say anything about Brandon making a bone headed decision. Brandon felt bad enough already.

At first I liked the episode with all the twists and turns but now I just want the season over and Ben out of my life.

GOD, this is the weirdest Survivor season in a very long time.

I'm pretty sure the jury is freaked out by all this god stuff coming from Coach and Brandon. And they won't be voting for the god spewing folks.

Russell is going to kick mini Russell's arse when he sees him.

Truly weird season, god!

Why don't people believe Coach when he says he thinks God spoke to him? He has given no indication otherwise in interviews.

For the record, I don't believe for a second that God spoke to him but that doesn't mean that Coach doesn't believe it.

These people (except Sophie) are all totally out there. Interesting characters this season.

My thoughts exactly. While I've been ambivalent about Sophie since the season started, I actually felt sorry for her last night at TC when she realized she was surrounded by loons.

I've never been a huge fan of Albert, and last night solidified it for me. I really, really don't like him.

I agree about Sophie. I liked her a lot last night.

Ozzy - Too full of himself.
Albert - Not likable.
Brandon - Way too many issues.
Rick - Seriously? Though he did have a great line last night.
Coach - I find him entertaining at least.

Sophie for the win!

I'm signed up for a Sophie win at this point, even though I don't feel I know much about her at all. She'll be one of those winners that no one remembers, though, because she just hasn't gotten the face time. The producers were too busy covering Ozzy/Coach/Brandon/Cochran every week.

If Sophie can make it to the f2 (without Ozzy sitting next to her) she'd probably win over anyone there and I'd be thrilled. She's the least crazy acting. She's been steady all season, won her share of comps, made early alliances, sees the crazy god crap as just that- CRAZY! I think if she can make it to the finals that the jury would probably unanimously give her the win and deservingly so. I love watching Coach because he is entertaining but I don’t think he’s played the game in a way that the jury could vote for him. Maybe if he left the god crap out of his game play maybe he would have a chance to win the jury over.
