Survivor: South Pacific (With new twists on Redemption Island) — Page 6

Thank you! I started reading during the part where they were writing their votes and got sucked into my book. The next thing I knew it was over.

---

Well, Cochran was welcomed with open arms because they needed Cochran's vote to break the tie, but it was the best decision for Cochran to make. His only ally was Dawn and even she chickened out. The biggest mistake Cochran made was saying ANYTHING to his tribe after the vote was revealed, which only made him look weak. When Jim called Cochran a coward, I really wanted to punch him in the face. Firstly, that kind of behavior is EXACTLY why Cochran flipped and secondly, Cochran's vote was the OPPOSITE of cowardice. Jim just made himself look like a douchebag.

The vote was the ONLY interesting part of that episode. Ozzy's plan to beat Christine worked, but that was the only part of his plan that worked. But anything Ozzy-related just makes me nauseous. If the rest of the people on the island don't target Ozzy, then they all deserve to lose.

And last night proved one of the reasons I really don't like Redemption Island. Christine sat there for weeks and ended up with nothing. Ozzy planned to go there for a night and beat Christine and come back. "Redemption"? Hardly. That was pretty sickening to watch. Im just glad the other tribe saw right through Ozzy's plan.

Wasn't sad to see Keith go. I wouldn't mind seeing that whole tribe get decimated except for Cochran and Dawn. I truly hope Dawn jumps ship as well now that their numbers are down. Her best move would have been to align with Cochran and flip with him once she knew he'd probably do it. It would have been awesome to see the others realize their power trip was over.

Also, did you guys catch when they were trying to figure out who they thought the Upolou people would vote for, and one of them went on about how they'd probably go for Whitney first and leave the stronger guys around for a while?

Oh, definitely. It was such a numbnuts idea. Like you said, if they are merged, why would anyone want to keep the stronger people around from the opposing tribe? It was hilarious to see Upolu's reaction to Ozzy giving Whitney the idol. You could tell Whitney wasn't even on their radar.

Also, I don't think may gay vibe was any stronger for Jim than when he was hissing "Coward!"

I'd go even farther than that. It sounded like the hissing of a mean girl living in a plexiglass closet. Reminds me of someone I have to see in the office every single day. Gross.

---

I really need clarification here. Why would Ozzy go to Redemption Island to "even out numbers"? Wasn't it clear that Christine would not be on the side of the tribe who kicked her out? Why didn't they send the nerd to fight her instead? Having Christine makes much more sense to me.

Is it me, or does this season look awfully staged by the production?

Now that they have the numbers, I hope the next month is not just kicking the opposite tribe's members out one by one. Boring.

It's getting like The Bachelor/ette Calvin. "It promises to be the most EXPLOSIVE Rose Ceremony yet!" It never really is...I keep waiting for someone to have diarrhea, but they dont.

The only one I'm holding out hope of liking one day is Sophie. I think she dislikes Coach and Hantz, but feels like she needs them now and will hopefully make a move. I'm not convinced, but hopeful.

Everyone else stinks now that Christine is gone. I dug her.

---

Yes...the rancher getting all of those votes this week was funny. I wondered how anyone knew what name to write down!

---

Cochring might be able to shake things up.

---

Christine said in her interviews that she really was open to going with either tribe had she gotten back in the game, seeing as going with the other side would have just forced the same 6-6 situation we saw. She was leaning towards the other tribe but would have taken whomever gave her the best deal.

blaxx, it probably will, just like last season (they'll try to make it seem every episode like someone's going to budge, but no one will) -- the "suprise boot" will be when they get rid of Cochran. And we're probably stuck with Coach until the end.

(Btw, these are just my guesses. I don't read spoilers sites or anything like that, but the show's editing has made it very predictable. For instance, you can always tell when someone's about to win an immunity challenge because of the background music hitting a certain climax)

Thanks, Calvin.

I really don't buy this Cochran story. Are we supposed to feel bad for him or think he's smart? Emotional players always do bad in reality shows. Those who flip do even worse.

---

SO disappointed that Cochran immediately admitted to being the one who 'turned' to his former tribemates. Wish he'd stood his ground and remained silent...

But, glad that the vote turned out the way it did.

Was sorry to see Christine lose on Redemption Island. I liked her. And admired her ability to win all of the challenges along the way.

---

OK, so Ozzy and Jim got sent to Redemption Island tonight? I was only half paying attention. Which seems to be the norm with me lately.

---

I'd say it was cocky that they all ate, but not classless. It's the game. And they had to eat during the competition or they got no food. If they didnt eat there'd be no point.

I'd think eating baked stuff and iced coffee would not sit too well after their recent diet. I love that stuff, but watching it made me a bit queasy.

Jim and that blond are such hypocrites. They never actually protected Chochring...and it's a flipping game. Get over yourselves. Certain times require flipping on your team, and eventually everyone has to do it. Cochring did the right thing for himself, even it it only buys him a little time and I dont think he's got it in him to form much of another alliance. Sophie, Rick and the rancher need to mix things up. I'm hoping Sophie takes the reins.
