When Brandon gave Albert the necklace all I could think of was Marcellus from BB. Wonder if Jeff will give Brandon a forehead slap like Julie gave Marcellus?

If anyone IMO is "full of himself" it is coach- especially after last night- sitting up in his thrown and dictating (to camera) how it is all going to go down - and "asking God who to vote out" comeon, he didnt tell you to vote out Brandon, God could careless who wins this and any other reality show ... im sorry, I may be in the minority here, but who made Coach "king of the island"

seiously wished they had taken him out long ago- just home he doesnt win it-

and why the heck is that cowboy still there, he has doen NOTHING NOTHING at all- he is just a rock for everyone to sit on- no personality, no game, not good at competitions, no skills what so ever! JMO

I don't care who wins but I wouldn't be upset if it was Coach. Coach didn't abuse Brandon's belief in God as Coach believes as fiercly as Brandon seems to. Brandon has some unrest in his life, maybe something he did that makes him feel guilty so he is always struggling with doing the right thing(not knowing what the right thing is).
Brandon's constant insecurities would bug the crap out of me if I were on the island with him.

Bluejax, I thought the very same thing, re: BB and Marcellus!

Except that Marcellus was arrogantly cocky, and Brandon was naiively trusting. Big difference in attitude. One was shocked and one was deeply hurt. (Brandon still creeps me out for the most part, but I really hurt for him last night. It was truly painful to watch him setting himself up, and then being so masterfully played, used, and completely undone, by Coach and Albert.) I wonder if he'll show up at the finale in a body-cast after his family gets through with him.

Anyhow, Sophie for the win for keeping her sanity in the loony bin.

There was something about that whole situation of God talking to everyone and directing their activities that reminded me of David Berkowitz and Harvey the Demon Dog.

Don't hate, it was just a thought that went through my mind. I'm not calling anyone a serial killer. I wouldn't hesitate to call some of them crazy, though.

Because the chatter is so good on this website and being from the West Coast, I don't have to watch the show. Coach makes me want to threw up and the "God" thing is just to much and I go to church.
I've always enjoyed Ozzy.... but this time was a little different.
Go Sophie... can't wait to see Coach when he doesn't get any votes - should he make it that far.

Aitch, I just didn't get the Ozzy's changed/dislike vibe this series. Admittedly, I spent more time cackling at Tish's spoiling than I did watching the show, but I didn't experience the entitlement and ego issues that everyone seemed to notice with Oz this time around.

You're welcome, Holly.

The idea of someone talking to God and God talking back makes me think of someone hearing voices in his head which in turn makes me a little uncomfortable. Now I do understand that sometimes when people say they have talked to God they mean it metaphorically. They asked God for guidance and then arrived at a decision. It's interesting that Survivor seems to have cast two very needy yet different players this year - Brandon and Cochran.

With respect to Coach, I thought he was very fair to Brandon. Brandon told him what God wanted and Coach very calmly replied that he may be hearing something different from God and might do something different. I don't know that is using Brandon. Furthermore, Coach hasn't given us any indication in his monologues that he is anything but sincere. He is a complex character.

I'm hoping to see how sincere Coach is when/if Ozzy comes back into the game. Coach gave Ozzy his word "as a man of God" that he would take him to the end. I really want to see this play out.

< I didn't experience the entitlement and ego issues that everyone seemed to notice with Oz this time around.>

Nor do I, GAL, it baffles me. And I have built-in arrogance radar and can usually spot an arrogant guy long before anyone else does! I don't remember Ozzy from past seasons and would not have noticed him this season if not for all the camera time he's getting and winning all the RI battles. I actually think he has a very benign (even somewhat dull personality. He also seems to have a generous streak in him, willing to share all his fish without asking or expecting anything back from his tribemates.

I love coach as much or more than the next person but I don't find him sincere about his talking to god about whose name to write down. Coach is a showman playing a roll on reality TV. He entertains me most of the time and I like. I think Coach is very bright and spiritual but using god as excuse to vote Brandon out was weak, and I think the jury saw that too. Coach knows how weak minded Brandon is and figured Brandon wouldn't hold anything against coach because God told him...LOL

I was happy to see Ozzy prove he is not just a gorgeous body! He has a mind as well - not that I would actually care if he didn't!

When I pray, I pray for wisdom, relatives, friends, their health and welfare. Not for material things, I feel that God has a lot of more important issues to work on.

When he's doing that on RI, it's not out of the kindness of his heart. It's part of his plan. I don't remember what the plan was when he announced it. Maybe kill with kindness and turn around and stab. But it's not out of kindness on RI.

He's doing it for jury votes. Aside from winning the duels, Ozzy is not in a position to stab anyone. He's just playing the social game from a different vantage point than those still on the beach.

Nobody has ever fished on Survivor to be generous. They fish to be the "provider" so they won't be voted out, it is something that is stated by at least one person every season. Ozzy is no different. Albeit, it's part of the game, but it is still a self-serving gesture.

Self-serving or not, it's still good of him to do it. As he once explained, it takes a lot out of you to go fishing in all that coral, especially without the proper gear or protection.

I think Ozzy fluctuates between entitlement/arrogance and not so much. It's like the tantrum he threw when they voted his gal-pal out. He was just pissed that they would scheme behind *his* back. Within a day, he recovered and went back to being part of the tribe, doing work and catching fish. I wonder if that's why the perceptions of him are so different?

I think so Karuuna. He's had moments of graciousness, like when dealing with people coming to RI. But even he admits that's part of his strategy. He arrogance showed when the votes didn't go his way, like how dare anyone go against what he wants to happen. I supposed one could argue 90% of them are arrogant.

Gosh, wonder why we don't have Ponderosa videos yet? I really wanted to see how they treated her upon arrival.

I wrote the reasons I thought Ozzy wanted to be on RI in the clips thread so won't repeat other than to say it is best for Ozzy to be there.

Coach is definitely using the "God" angle with Brandon who is obviously new to Christianity. Which, as a Christian, makes me sad. This time, Coach seems to zero in (hey, it is his 3rd time on this game)on what others' want to hear, or the weak places in their personalities and is using it against them. If he were a "mature" Christian he would not have asked God what to do in a game show. I am for a Sophie win as she seems to be the only person who is playing the game and is not using anyone's personality weaknesses against them. If I could play the game, I would like to think I would play it as Sophie has.
