Way boring until last night.

Producers think Coach is one everyone watches because they hate him, but really most of America is indifferent about Coach Doosh, which is much worse.

Yes, I've been watching <hides face in shame>

Ozzy's big move was stupid. Sending Cockrun to Redemption was by far the better strategy. If he wins, he vindicates all his screwups, if he loses, it's a safe bet that Christine will come over to your side.

Second dumb, though minor, move. Voting for Rick the cowboy. This dude has been utterly useless at challenges. Why didn't they vote for Coach or Albert??? My guess is because Rick is virtually invisible whereas coach and Albert are better for ratings. Makes me wonder how much the producers influence the tribe's votes.

Third sumb move, TRUSTING COCKRUN. You had to just KNOW the weasel was going to flip. Coach was brilliant in the way he confronted Cockrun and played him for the coward he is. I have never liked coach, but I must admit, he's learned some things in from his last two failed runs and he seems to be making all the right moves this season. I wonder if he hired Rob to train him.

Fourth dumb move, giving Whitney the immunity idol. There's zero chance the other tribe is going to vote for her, she's no threat in challenges. Instead, give it to Keith! After Ozzy, he's the next biggest physical threat and the odds are much higher that he will get the votes.

But, none of that happened. Next week should be very interesting.

Ozzie way overacted at the Redemption Island challenge. I figured Coach would see it as a ruse anyway, but that solidified it.

Good for Cochran for turning on them. Just because he is a little bitch doesn't mean he should be treated that way.

Of all of the people on the other tribe, lil russell is the one to stand up for cochran?

Good to see someone had the sack to stand up. And he was right. The reason cochran flipped was because his tribe treated him like shite.

Really was a dumb move giving the idol to whitney, there was no reason at all the other tribe would target her.Give the idol to keith and the cowboy is gone.

Ozzie certainly doesn't have a future in the acting profession. Everyone saw right through his charade.

You have to remember, in a "drawing for rocks" tiebreaker, the people who were voted for are immune, as well as anyone who has Immunity. With the Savaiis voting for Rick, they were increasing the odds of getting Coach or Albert out when they drew rocks (which they expected to happen).

As far as giving the idol to Whitney...they did this because they thought the Upolus would use the same strategy of voting for a weak player to get rid of a stronger one with the rock draw. If Upolu had chosen Whitney, then Rick would have been gone on the first vote and Savai'i would have had the number advantage.

I would have flipped too if it took a "dream" to make the team vote Ozzy into redemption instead of me. The insulting me on my play woulnd't have bothered me near as much as the fake pep talk they gave me about how I would do well in redemption. That was almost as unbelievable as Ozzy's terrible speech at the redemption challenge.

How lame was Hantz's "stay with me" line at the end of tribal. He is trying to hard to be the good guy, but he is just a little, chubby weasel.

How bout that weaseal Brandon's comment: "you need to be quiet, thats why you are where you're at. Stay by me". Damn, when did Brandon become king of nerd patrol. I'm betting Brandon will be the first flipper of his tribe. Weasels tend to stick together

I like it, because he was right.

The "stay by me" thing was kinda creepy. but, i liked him standing up for the "little guy".

Why was the tribe, specifically keith, talking so much shite to cochran recently if they needed to trust him. IMO he screwed himself.

I just can't stand Coach's tribe with all the prayers and shite. Like God (if there is one) really gives a crap what fake tribe will win immunity. Plus, I am sure some of the tribe are not as religious as Coach and little Russell, but due to peer pressure they have to pertake in the holding hands prayer sessions.

I'm not a fan of the recent format with 2 past guests. I am just as sick of Coach as I was of Russell.

Plus, I've gotten so used to marathoning shows, I wait until a big pile of episodes are available, then I watch them.

I'm still a big fan, just haven't gotten around to watching it yet and I've been avoiding spoilers.

Cochran

I'm pulling for this dude. I'm glad that POS Keith got voted out. Loved Brandon's comment after the vote.

So is this the real coach or is it just a game? I like the dragon slayer but he's been taking a more cerebral approach to this game.

Coach more than cochran changed this outcome. Coach said the right things to sway cochran.

Coach's speech to Cochran was pretty great.

From what I read in the deleted scenes Coach's speech to Ozzie was also pretty good. He had Ozzie sweating and extremely uncomfortable when he told him they knew it was a ruse.

I'm so tired of seeing people cry and complain about being lied to and disrespected.

Have these people not watched the show prior to going on there? It's a damn game and lying is part of it. This isn't the real world and 95% of the lies are not personal, it's strategy.
