I'm game, but you're bound to catch hell in the morning when other people get up. There was a thread started earlier this evening about Brandon being bat-shite crazy.

There's probably only a handful of Survivor watchers on this board. Threads have never really taken off, and now there's only three or four (if that many) more episodes left.

I watch it. But I missed the first 15 minutes last night. I assume Ozzy beat the squirrely guy in a contest, and assume it was a physical one. I think Brandon is kept around to be taken to the final 3... I mean who would vote for him. But, I thought also the same on Cockran...he would be the perfect guy to take to the final 3...everyone disliked him.

I've also found this year, the producers are getting very predictable. Last night, for example, just before tribal counsel they had someone say something to the effect it may be Brandon being voted out. When they said that, you knew it had to be Edna. Just before tribal counsel this year they try to throw you off course....trying to keep it interesting i guess.

I guess the producers threw us a big teaser with the "Brandon may go home" bit. Not for one second did anyone believe he would get the ax. Now they put another tease in for next week. I love Survivor but the producers are making it painful to sit through

yea this season is painful to watch.. I think it would have worked out for much better if Cockham would not have flipped and the other tribe would have been the last tribe standing

This bit about Coach wanting to bring Ozzy to the end makes no sense.. he'd be crazy.. I think thats why brandon will go to the end, same reason that Rob took that tool Phillp to the end

I may be in the minority, but I have really enjoyed this season. As far as Edna, I hope Ozzy sends her packing and the clip from next week was just a tease when it showed Edna getting close to beating Ozzy. I can't stand players like her who do nothing for 30 days and then all of a sudden want to start calling people out, crying, and wanting to play the game once they're on the chopping block.

I've enjoyed this season, as well. But it has been predictable at tribal each time. It's been said in other posts, but Albert is the worst. He comes up with some "game changing plan" every week and bails on it and goes with the tribe's original plan. Once they made it seem like Brandon might just go, I knew Edna was gonna be sent packing.

I can't stand players like Edna either. When Tina won in Australia, at least she was likeable. But unfortunately, it set the stage for people thinking all they have to do is lay low, be boring and not ruffle many feathers, and somehow end up in the finale, thinking they have a chance to win. Colby got hosed that year and it's never been voted that way since.

It's amazing, I still don't know the Rancher's name after all season long. Last night was the first time I think I've heard him speak. Casting crew blew it putting him on the show. I'm sure he's a hell of a guy, but if I don't even remember his name, he's not exactly been ratings gold.

Yep, I watch. I'm not proud of it, but I watch.

Good to see Cockroach go home, he was my least favorite player of the season.

Brandon is fricking crazy and after seeing his father in action, I can see why. Can you imagine what kind of fricked up childhood he had? No wonder he's covered in tats that hint at gang connections, and is a born again zealot. He's probably killed someone. When he gets voted out, he's likely to do so again.

At this point I'm pulling for Ozzy. If he can't go the distance, then my next favorite winner would be Albert.

The teaser for next week makes it look like Edna beats Ozzy at a puzzle challenge. This almost gaurantees that Ozzy wins.... we'll see.

I just wish everyone on this season had not been so stupid. Everyone thought they were the shite and running stuff, but were really just riding coat tails especially Coaches gang. Jim was hilarious and I wished he had stayed in the game longer, by far one of my favorite players of the season. I couldn't stand coachran, it was painful every time he opened his mouth.

Edna should have taken the a new approach and threaten the other tribesmen with saying if you take Brandon to the end, I'm voting for Brandon and I'm at tribal I'll try to convince everybody else on the jury to do it also by laying it out there.

I have no sympathy for Edna of Cochran because they easily could have made themselves higher up by breaking off and trying to form their own aliance

I hate these seasons where they bring back former Survivors because no one ever has the balls to make a move against them and just let them have a clear path to the end...its so frustrating to watch

I have not watched this week's episode yet, so I don't know if this was addressed, but how long does Coach have to use immunity idol? I'm not sure he is going to need it, but he could give it to one of his goons that he knows he could take to the finals and beat.

I agree, no one has had the balls to do anything against the 2 superstars in the game because they think that they have some super wisdom from playing the game before. EVery game is different!!!!

The games coach or ozzy were in before, does not help them in any way to deal with the people this season and their personalities and how to strategize with/against them. They may have some benefit by knowing how to cope with the elements better and not royally piss some off to get there arse booted(eg. when coach said no to edna when she tried to get him to give her the hidden idol), but other than that its not much of an advantage.

If anything, having watched survivor for several years and seeing both these guys play before you should already know the general gist of how they play the game. Its why Russell didnt last long in his season similar to this because his tribe knew how to get rid of him and had the balls to do it!


ETA: NUMBER 1 REASON I HATE COCHRAN!!!!! His flip to the other side meant Whitney's days were numbered!!!

My number one reason for hating him was his total ineptitude. The guy can hardly walk, I'd dare him to try chewing gum as well.

He was useless in every single challenge he participated in. Even the "mental" ones. I don't care how big a fan of the game he is, he didn't deserve to be there.

If he was such a big fan, I don't know how he seemed so naive about everything going on. If he was that big of a fan, he would know you cant sit back and let the game play out around you. I really want to go play this game now b/c I think I could actually do well at it.

yea had cockroach not flipped it'd be an whole different game.. I knew he was going to be weak at the phyiscal stuff but I expected much more from the mental aspect but he was a idiot all around

I was glad Mikalya went home because one more day out there and Brandon was going to rape her

Im pulling for oz or rick
