Survivor South Pacific - Episode 11

[dr.strangelove]

First I want to say that it was completely unfair for MB and survivor to let that new guy come on teh show with just a few episodes left. that cowboy with the beard and mustache should have had to be on the island as long as the rest of them. WHAT, he was there??? Really??? come on, really???? I think I saw his first confessional. I honestly did not even know what Rick's voice sounded like. He said more in this episode that the first 10 combined. I know it was to set up that he was going, but man that was odd.

Well, Cochran got axed. I really did not like cochran. Sure he was funny to have around, but he was not a very good player. He played a terrible game from the start. He never had a social game and he sucked at challenges. But more than this, he was annoying. Its the worst thing you can be. You have to leave your annoying habits on the boat/plane if you hope to win. While some will talk about how he made a bad move switching tribes because he did not go any further, I think that was perhaps his only good move. He had no change to go any higher than 6th if he stayed with his tribe. Nothing was going to happen. But on the other tribe, he had a chance to move up. He took that chance and it did nto pan out. I don;t fault him for trying. HAd he played better from day one, maybe it would have worked.

Well, Ozzy is still at Club Med loving his life. I hope he gets ousted this week by cochran. That would be awesome. I am so done with Coach and Ozzy. Terrible choice bringing these two back. I like seeing the problems in team Coach. I wonder if Edna and Brandon go next then let the four compete with Ozzy to win it all. Part of me is cheering for crazy Little Russell, but maybe its Sophie. Honestly, I really dislike them all.

Well, its end game time. I imagine Edna and Brandon go, then Ozzy beats then at the last duel and re-enters the game. I hope not, but who knows. I have no idea who to cheer for right now. I'm just gonna watch my favorite show keep flying over that shark and hope for the best.

1. The editing is getting really bad

They keep wanting to reach for a surprise and they just don't have any. They focused entirely on Cochran's "strategy" to stay and you even though they wanted you to believe he had a chance, it was totally predictable.

I'd like to see them come up with a challenge to make Cochran and Ozzy able to have an actual competition but I just don't see anything without Ozzy coming out the winner.

I can see Edna going next but Brandon... Nah, I think Cowboy after Edna. Unless... They finally decide to give Coach the boot, which they should have done long ago.

2. Amen Joe

They should have axed coach once they had the numbers.

3. I hope Ozzy kicks cochran's whiny little ass...

..for someone that claims to the series number one fan he played it like an idiot...did he not think that his "new" tribe would dump his puny ass as soon as they could...dumb, dumb, dumb...

I think Brandon has series mental issues. Either that or he is a serial killer/rapist/stalker but his women issues creep me out and I am a dude...

Who knew that's what Rick sounded like?

I continue to be amazed that no-one has even thought about trying to blindside Coach...Albert's big plan was to show coach he wasn't in charge by voting Edna out? Excuse me? Why not show him he isn't in charge by throwing HIM out..?? It was that same sort of stupid logic that Savaii used against Ozzy's girl way back at the beginning of the series...If you have enough votes to get rid of the Hefe's woman, wouldn't you by default have enough to get rid of the Hefe...??? Never made any sense to me..

"Prince Albert" clearly can't convince anyone of anything so he's done, Edna is gone next, the only real queston is at what point does Ozzy come back to make it the Coach v Ozzy v 'Whomever is left' (most likely Brandon so they can have an excuse to fly Uncle Russell to NY and put his ugly fugging face on telly one more time) finale the producers obviously want?

I love this show, and this season has had it's moments, but I am truly sick and tired of bringing back former losers to give them one more shot at the prize, and I am especially sick Russell and all of his relatives...Oh, and don't get me started on the god-bothering bullshit that's been going on...would they focus on that side of the game if there were Muslims playing....nah...I didn't thnk so either...

We need totally fresh blood next season or this show will be in trouble...

The cowboy and the female med student have been almost total non-entities this season...Is that editting or were they really just shoved into the back-ground with all of the Brandon drama..??

4. interesting

While I agree that Cochran has played the game badly, if anyone still in it (at redemption) has played it worse, it is Ozzy. Relying on physical prowess without any social or strategy (or bad strategy) skill is beyond idiotic. He has not learned a thing from all his time there. He still gets beat by simple social games The fact that they voted out his girl is clear that he did not even have control over his own tribe. He is just not a good player. Treating Cochran badly was just the tip of the iceberg. Had he been smart, he would have told his crew from day one that keeping cochran happy was the key for survival. You do not piss anyone off. He should have kept goign to meet with Cochran alone and tell him that he was great and still in teh fold. He should have said he planned ot take cochran to the finals because he thought he could beat him, but if it got to the end, may the ebst man win. cochran would have eaten that up. But he failed yet again at the social and strategy side of the game.

Cochran, well, he made a play. How was he any worse off. He moved down one spot, okay, I think thats worth a couple of hundred bucks. He played the best hand he could. I do not fault that choice at all. I think he could have played better at the merge by getting the idol from coach and controlling the game, but thats it. Otherwise, who knew what would happen. It was 6 of one and half a dozen of the other, but one side had better odds and he smartly picked the side with the better odds, as small as those odds were.

I agree that Brandon has mental health issues.

The only other thing, I am not sure that either tribe had the votes to oust Ozzy and Coach when they went after their friends. Sophie is in Coach's and albert's final 3. She would not have voted against coach, but would against Edna. It was in her best interest for Coach and Alber tot be around. Both see her as someone they can bet. In fact, I think she has played the best overall game this year. She has rocked at challenges, has played an excellent social game and seems to have set herself up to be in everyone's final three. I think she deserve to win the most out of the rest, with coach jus a bit behind her.

I am with you with being sick of former players coming back. I hope we are done with that.
