Very exciting. I'm ready for this tonight. Looking forward to Ponderosa clips tomorrow, too.

And on tonight's....Survivor!

RI: Night 30

WOody approaches Ozzy, who says "Oh, Cochran. Cochran, Cochran, Cochran." Cochran admits he's humiliated and switching tribes "might not have been the best move." He also admits to drinking the Coach Kool-Aid. Ozzy tries to convince Cochran to vote for him if he makes it to the end, but Cochran is non-committal (he really is clueless). Cochran wants to know whether he might have a chance at beating Ozzy at a duel. "You have a chance," Ozzy assures him. "He doesn't stand a chance," he tells us in a confessional.

Ozzy was being nice to Cochran. He of all people has the most reason to be annoyed with Cochran. Cochran is worse than just clueless LOL.

As this show goes on Brandon looks more and more like the kid on the porch in Deliverance.

I have a sinking feeling that we'll be seeing Cochran on future Survivor seasons. They're giving him the big hero's send-off.

Te Tuna Day 31

Flies buzz around a crab; closeup of Rick looking like a crab, and Brandon wants to say a prayer before breakfast, so Edna walks off, saying she's not a member of the tribe. This brings tears from Edna, and Hantz 2.0 asking for God to soften Edna's heart.

Edna tells Coach she can't believe she's come out here to be deceived by everybody; "everybody gets deceived," Coach tells her. Edna doesn't like that she's been treated as a second class citizen by everyboy, especially a 19 year old high school drop out like Hantz 2.0, who's interrupting her kvetching session with news of a SPRINT tree mail.

Rick gets his message and starts tearing up; Enda gets her and continues tearing up; Sophie hears from her father, who tells her she's delivered; Albert's mother doesn't look like him AT.ALL; Coach hears from his brother; and Hantz 2.0 hears from his father, who tells him to make decisions based not on the game, but upon his heart. Hantz 2.0 assures us he loves his father.

RI: Duel

Jeff says there's a twist to the duel, but he won't tell us until the end. I hope it involves the winner choosing how Hantz 2.o is thrown out of the game. Grappling hooks for stuff, followed by the twisty puzzle.

Ozzy's doing well, as Woody is lame, as always, but getting advice from the Savaii people, who can't help themselves from trolling against Ozzy. Ozzy's been working the maze for a while, and now Woody is working on it, too. Woody is being uncharacteristically aggressive, while Ozzy's ball falls through. Twice. Oh! Cochran has to go back to the beginning now, too. Woody looks like he's having spasms as he's doing this, while Ozzy seems perfectly calm and normal looking. Both are within inches of the finish. Woody's drops out at the last second and Ozzy wins.

"You almost got me," Ozzy says, his words reiterated by Probst. Now Woody is gushing about the Survivor experience and how he loves it and breathes it. He tears up, too, and this is the most teary sappy episode all season already. Probst says that because he risked and came out here and was ridiculed, he'd better be a new guy because a part of him died and another part was reborn. I think Probst actually believes that hooey he just spouted because he said it with a straight face.

But, mercifully, Woody has to throw his buff in the fire. Go! Good Bye!

Ozzy has to make a decision now.

Sophie's father's name is Thurston. I wonder whether her mother is named Lovey! Edna's sister Debbie, who we will call Little Debbie because she's Edna's snack cake. Then Coach's brother, followed by Katie, Rick's wife. He grabs her ass. Did I need to see that? No, I didn't. ALbert's mother. Then Shawn Hantz, who is Hantz 3.0, I guess, Jeff introduces as "Russel Hantz's brother"; I'm sure Shawn/Sean/Shaun is happy to be known as "Russel Hantz's brother."

Ozzy gets to choose who gets to spend time with a loved one. He picks Albert. Then Coach. Then Hantz 2.0. No love for Sophie? Awwww that makes me sad. His name is Thurston, after all!

The rest head back to camp and Ozzy offers his apologizes. Hantz 2.0, Albert, and Coach get an EVO 3D and get to go to RI. How terribly exciting for them! Maybe Ozzy will give a display of his swimming and fishing skills!

Oh gag me at all the sentimentality, accompanied by the heavenly music. Barf.

ETA: I think Probst does believe all the hooey he spouts, Tish. Talk about going heavy on the cheese...this episode surpasses any other on that count.

I guess I must be in the minority because I adore Cochran and am sorry to see his Survivor experience end. I wouldn't mind at all if he got a second chance to play again.

Daddy Hantz looked to be somewhat normal compared to his family, but it turns out he's as off the hook as his brother. No wonder Brandon's a mess.

Redemption Island, day 31

Coach tells us this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be on Survivor, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he's been on thrice, so maybe he's lived three lifetimes in the past 10 years? Coach is excited about the EVO 3D's flat screen technology! Then Coach provides Ozzy with the opportunity--"as a Christian man!"--to take Ozzy to the final two. "Let's do it!," Ozzy says.

Hantz 2.0 says he's here to set an example for Christ. His father says that if there's something that could get him into the final three..."NO!" Hantz 2.0 says. "Are you kidding me?" He's not kidding, 3.0. He's not kidding. 3.0 says that God wants us to be wise, too, not just whatever Hantz 2.0 thinks we should be. Hantz 3.0 talks to Coach, wanting confirmation that Coach is being straight with them; Coach is noncommittal, and 3.0 says that whatever Coach says to do, he'll let Hantz 2.0 to do. Coach says they are all cut from the same cloth, those Hantz folks. And Coach says that tick tick tick--in an obnoxious gesture, frankly, because he didn't move his mouth even a little--Hantz 2.0 is a ticking time-bomb and he's about to be expired.

Day 32: IC

For today's challenge, your goal is to keep moving across a giant puzzle board. Oh this is a repeat from many seasons ago. It actually would have been a good one for Woody, but he's out now, so let's just wait for the Ponderosa clips.

This is going to be hard to describe. When they run out of yellow tiles and can't move, they are out. Probst suggests this might be a metaphor for the game, right Coach? Oh, yeah, Jeff. Perfect metaphor, he says sarcastically.

They're like all in the center now and Coach's shorts are disturbingly how on his hips. Albert out. Brandon out. Hantz 2.0 is talking to Albert about his strategy, that he didn't want "a particular person" to have space to move, which is why Albert is out. "You can just say my name," Edna says. Oh, it's all about you, huh" Jeff asks. "Well, who else?", but I'm just paraphrasing. Probst says that Edna seems to get more agitated with every move. It's between Edna and Coach, but Benjamin manages to win.

With the challenge over, Edna says, "help a sister out, Coach."

Then Hantz 2.0, in confessional, says he puts his smelly foot out there, but he's going to enjoy breakfast on day 39. I don't doubt his smelly feet, but I do doubt Day 39.

Tell you what, if Coach gives Edna that immunity necklace I might have to like him a little bit. And now I'm heading off to wash my mouth out with soap.

Te Tuna, day 32

Sophie says that she's surprised every day by the things people do and she recalibrates who might get jury votes. Rick manages to put together three sentences: he can't believe Hantz 2.0 had to go and do that at IC, it was like kicking a puppy. And then Hantz 2.0 and Edna talk, but Edna compares Hantz 2.0's treatment of her to a man beating his wife and then buying her a diamond necklace, and suddenly I'm metaphored out for the day and I'm especially not liking that one.

Enda approaches Albert, Sophie, Coach about getting rid of Hantz 2.0 because, if they have been playing with honor and integrity--they need to trademark this, because they seem to believe it--then they need to get rid of Hantz 2.0. She even goes back to his treatment of Mikayla to help prove her point.

Coach says that she served Hantz 2.0 slow pitch softball style. So I guess the metaphors aren't over yet.

Now Coach talks to Enda about if there were a trial, who would the jury convict, Edna or Brandon? And it's metaphor atop metaphor, which is known as catachresis, or the abuse of language. Crabs on the beach. Coach says he won't give her the II and probably won't ever play it.

Edna talks to Albert, who looks at her, but his eyes are covered with his buff. "So Coach is 100% in right now?" Albert asks Edna. "100%. I'll eat a piece of his shit if I'm lying."

Get the bread ready, cuz here comes the poop sandwich, Edna.

TC:

Probst: it's clear you're on the hot seat tonight. Who have you targeted? Edna says Hantz deviates from the tribal mantra, but she can't remember what it is and has to ask Coach. Brandon doesn't have anything negative to say about Edna, but Probst says what about the first TC, when you lied about her? Oh, that! Well, everybody knows about that and I'm sorry about it. Somehow Hantz 2.0 now returns to his fictional account of not ever saying anything negative about Edna, but Probst just seemed to have proven him wrong. Let's overlook the inconvenient facts, shall we?

Albert says we have to balance how things work and the promises that were made early on. This makes Edna smile.

Voting. I'll go tally the votes....you know the rest.

Edna
Brandon
Edna
Edna
Edna

Coach hugs Edna. He's looking for jury votes. Edna thanks Jeff (!). And we hear Edna crying as she walks away.

Next time on....Survivor!

Coach says we can go at it with integrity. Rick fights with Albert. Sophie yells about something. Too quickly-edited for me to figure it all out.

At RI, previews seems to indicate that Edna might beat Ozzy, who looks with concern in her direction.

And that's all folks. Off to Modern family. Have a great night.

I've got a really bad taste in my mouth after that episode. Coach is such a hypocrite, Brandon is so unbalanced and the rest of them? Blech. The only unpredictable thing tonight was the level of corniness that was reached. I think it reached a new high tonight.

What stood out for me is that amazing Sprint phone.

Its brilliance dwarfed all the other action tonight.

Coach was right to get so emotional over it.

Sprint Sprint Sprint. Let's hear it for Sprint.

Blech!
