There won't be. It will be in Samoa again though. Both tribes on one island from the start.

You would have to be blind and deaf not to hear and see the smugness and arrogance that was Ozzy this season.


Yeah, but for some reason a lot of people liked him. He won the $100, 000 easily, the studio audience was eating his sh#t up on the live show, and people earlier in this thread liked him. And I don't think it can all be attributed to his playing well in the challenges.......For some reason a lot of people admire cockiness in others. I don't get it.

Ozzy is the man. He, Colby, and Boston Rob are the best physical players this game has ever had.

As normal the person seen as leading the other tribe will never win.

Coach should have won, Sophie just like Russell had no soical game, and unlike Russell she layed low and wasn't seen as the leader.

That should not win you a million, give up on this jury system and let the public vote the winner between the final 3.

The draw back on letting the public vote is the editting.

I agree with the butt-hurtness getting worse and worse every year, I dont know why people get so high and mighty whenever they get on the jury now

the worst thing to ever happen to the game is the emergence of the "honor/integrity/truth/god" card that keeps getting used...because people use it and then go back on it and people flip out about it, even though they would have done the same thing if they had the chance

yes Cochran flipped, but the other tribe would have picked everyone else off 1 by 1 just like the other tribe did, but they act all high and mighty once they get on the jury and act as though they are better than the 3 finalists

ETA: I didnt mind Sophie winning, she won when she needed to and did do a lot of planning to get there...Coach was annoying and Albert played really dumb in actuality (he talked good talk but he never followed through with any of his big moves)

Do not forget Russell also won right when he needed it too.

For those that post soical game and harp it like Jeff, it just shows the soical means little; it is all about who is seen as the big bad enemy leader at the end now and few are going to vote for him or her.

Russell and Coach played a different game to get to the same spot

Russell was in your face, backstabbed lied and cheated but won and got to the end, but had no jury votes and lost

Coach did the same amount of lying and backstabbing, he just veiled it under honesty and integrity and false relationships, therefore he didnt have to win as many challenges as Russell did but he still didnt have any votes at the end due to his lying and backstabbing

Its just sad that gone are the days of jury members understanding they lost a game that you are supposed to "outwit" and "outplay" to get to the end...instead of appreciating and understanding they would have done the same thing if given the chance (Edna was the only one who seemed to get it this time) they just get butt-hurt, high and mighty and vote extremely emotionally and not rationally

However if that is the current set up of the game the players need to adapt to it

It really is funny that these people get so pissed over getting beat by someone doing the exact same things they were doing.

As I said earlier, Rick had a final 2 deal with Coach and Albert. So he was lying to someone,yet he HATES liars.

Amen. I don't know how many of you actually watched the 1st season but Richard Hatch was the biggest sleazeball on there but, in the end, he was rightfully acknowledged as the best game player.

To those questioning why Ozzie is so liked by most fans, everyone loves a winner and players like Rob, Ozzie, Rupert, that fireman guy from awhile back, all consistently win. They make it look effortless and that's fun to watch. I would say Rupert has to be the most loved because he was dominant and not a douchebag.

Grant from last season could stack those 3 on top of each other and still demolish them

Edna hit the nail on the head at the question/answer session. Basically told everyone to shut the F up and get over it. I didn't expect that from her of all people. She was pretty butthurt a few weeks ago...

I loved seeing ozzy's arrogant arse get booted. Mr everything choked in the end and got beat by a girl !! then goes running and screaming into the night.

Like everyone else here, i'm really getting tired of the "bitter jury" thing. It is simply impossible to play this game from start to finish without lying to people. If you're completely honest and say "yeah, i have a final 3 deal with you and you and you and you and you too" you're going to get voted out really quickly.

the whole "honor and integrity" thinkg bit coach in the arse in the end.you know you're going to have to lie so, do keep preaching honor and integrity.

Coach did the right thing voting ozzy out, no one would have beat him in the finale. You could see by the show of hands that they would have all voted for him except for maybe cochran.

I don't even know why they bothered to have russell there. even though he wasn't in this season, he tried to make it all about him.

And Mikayla was the hottest chick on the island, she gets voted out early and we don't get to see what she looks like all cleaned up in the finale?


Also, anyone know how long it was between the final tribal and the vote counting? sophie sure seemed to put on some lbs between tribal and the reunion.

No love for James the grave digger from Louisiana? He was the most physical player but had no clue for strategy.

How long until Brandon opens up a vein and ends it all?

This probably happens in a strip club after temptation gets the best of him.

I couldn't believe it when he went home with 2 immunity idols in his pocket.

I know it is a pressure situation, but I feel like people screw themselves over with a terrible final tribal. Instead of appologizing, own up to your game. If I was coach, I'd say I'm not sorry for anything I did. Everyone is here to win, and there is a reason I am here and all of you aren't. I feel like that would earn more respect than groveling.

Also, everytime they show Savaii's reaction to Cochran turning, it engrages me. I wish he had an ounce of courage to lash back out at them when they called him a coward, dispicable, and subhuman. That's another situation where owning up to your move would look so much better than acting ashamed of it.

Lastly, I was actually glad nobody from Brandon's family came. He insulted his family by making Russell into something more evil than he was. Russell was playing the game. He also embarassed himself with his holier than thou attitude throughout the entire game.

You do realize that Rupert never dominated the game and the first season he was on CBS edited the show a lot to make him into a hero.

The next time he was on they didn't edited him much and you see him in a far different light in the All Stars and bye the third time he is on in Heroes vs Villains you finally get to see what the cast of the first time he was on said, he was nothing like the hero.

Really? What'd they say about Rupert? I like the show but don't watch every season. The allstar that followed his season was the last I saw of him.

Rupert had me the second he stole the shoes, sold them and used the money to buy booze.

He was a bit of an idiot in all stars when he built the deathtrap hole in the ground shelter and he could be condescending as hell, but I liked him more than Ozzy.

And whomever said Rupert did not dominate is wrong. Rupert helped win numerous challenges and he caught just as many fish as Ozzy.
