Thanks for the Kudos you guys. I told you there was a lot of speculation out there and no firm spoilers. I was shocked to see Ozzy go. I have to agree that I still think James' blunder was bigger than both "Jason's giving up the immunity challenge for food and a weak guarantee" and Ozzy's "thinking he was safe with only 1 Hii." It's a close 2nd, but I think James' was just a bit bigger in the blunder department. Oh........and I love that Mr. Hewitt didn't have a clue either. Ozzy's going only got a 5% chance out of him. Like I told you guys earlier, I thought Erik was going........

I agree, what is JP thinking?? There was no difference in Oz not using idol and getting screwed by people he trusted. I would say James still tops it because he had 2. I felt JP even tried to hint to Oz to use idol in some of the questions. So TV guide was the real spoiler this week LOL!

Ozzie did not even bring the idol with him to TC!! Be sure to watch the videos at cbs.com/ponderosa ... they are wonderful additions to the show.

some of them dropped out of the challenge for snacks, I don't get why only Jason had to worry. I'd worry at all times!

I lmao when James was laughing about somebody in the challenge not even getting snacks for dropping and then he dropped! I also laughed when James said "maybe people just wanted the dang donut!"

I think some probably know they cannot win, and so go for the snack, and others want to be perceived as less of a threat than those who win immunities, thus be kept longer. Eliza's face was priceless, as she realized the votes were coming in for Ozzy. And then others like Amanda looking worried, and looking toward Ozzy, and the ones in the know not smiling until they were pretty sure it had come off. I think maybe Jeff thought Ozzy should have known better, being a past success at the game and knowing what happened to James. And of course those tribal councils go on so much longer than what we see, so maybe it was more obvious to Jeff. And James blundered when he was less in the know about Survivor and the first season of hidden idols. (sort of like Marcellas, while it was a boneheaded move, it WAS the first ever golden POV, but if someone ever did that again, tsk) Yep, Mr Hewitt was less up on things than you were, Ginger I think he probably goes to some of the same places you go to check.

Oh and what made this episode so much fun was having the whole sub-plot, the promise to Jason, crossed fingers, etc., so Ozzy felt like he was in on the plan. And the plotters knew to keep Erik, James and Amanda out of the loop.

Plus, I just posted in the Episode 11 thread that Ozzy stated in a confessional at the Ponderosa (where the bootees go) that he didn't even have the idol with him at TC. Once he caught on, if he did, there was nothing he could do about it.

I'd posted in the show thread earlier today (before I came in here just now) about how I didn't think Ozzy's not playing his HII was a bigger blunder than James'. James had TWO HII to play. Plus, everyone knew Ozzy had the HII and at that point, people are gonna want the HII put into play (and then taken out of the game to level the playing field again). Then again, I'm not too sad and am still laughing (not having watched the show yet but having read the posts) at the fact that Ozzy's ego was his undoing.

LOL Sea. It's recorded, I just haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll be sure to pay SPECIAL attention to the faces at tribal! And to Ozzy's response at his eviction!

A word of warning for Costa (who is so flawless and fabulous), when you watch Tribal Council: (1) don't eat anything because you will probably choke on it; and (2) don't drink anything because you will probably spew your drink when you see all their faces when they realize Ozzy is in jeopardy at TC. PRICELESS!!!

I think maybe Jeff thought Ozzy should have known better, being a past success at the game and knowing what happened to James. I think this group all left the US before James' eviction episode was aired. So none of them saw his blunder - they probably didn't know who made it that far in China.

While James had two HIIs when he made his blunder, I think Ozzy's superblunder (in Jeff's perception) would be the arrogance of not even taking his HII to tribal council. Especially after watching James' season. Not like the idol was too huge to pack & haul. Plus, he didn't even heed James' warnings about 'Girl Power' coming together. What if, during the TC Q&As, someone blurted out 'Hey, JP we're voting for Oz this week'? Nothing he could do about it then. Oz had already tied his OWN hands. I loved James' reaction, covering his face in embarrassment for the dude. Best.Episode.Ever. The looks on their faces = Priceless!

Whether they had watched ALL of James's season or not, I would imagine James and Amanda would have talked about his 'blunder'. He seems like quite a storyteller, he's downright comedian material!

Has ANYBODY been able find another medium for viewing Ponderosa flicks? I've got Firefox and they only give us the commercial plus mere 5 seconds of the flicks no matter how many times I've waited for them to load. CBS sure is EFFICIENT with supplying the entire commercials in every instance (of course). Checked YouTubes and they don't seem to have any to offer that I can find. So frustrating I'm ready to boycott my own favorite brand of shampoo.

If I had the HII, iT would be tucked in my bra and HANDY! A guy should have it in a similarly secure place for using! I was so sorry to see Ozzy go, but he should have been prepared!
