So they show Coach buddying up to COchran and teaching him Ti Chi (or whatever!) and saying he will take him to the end.."you and me", he says. I had even begun to think that maybe that was Coach's plan...him and Cochran...while the jury is all Cochran's "old" team that he betrayed...they won't vote for Cochran, they'll vote for him!
But then Coach himself votes Cochran off!! I was shocked! But hey, this is SUrvivor...turn around is fair play...and especially since he told everyone it was his birthday in three days (I thought it odd that he knew that...being as how his is out in nowhere with no calender or way to count the days etc) but turns out...it wasn't anyway! He just pulled a "johnny Fairplay" and told them it was to get some niceity from them..assuming it would be not being voted off that night. Shocker to him!
Albert won the challenge for Immunity, a shower and a massage...he was told to pick one other person...he picked Coach. I thought theydidn't like each other! Then he asks if he can keep the immunity but give his reward to someone...and he gives the shower and massage to Cochran..saying Happy Birthday!!! That part I couldn't understand...why give to Cochran? I guess he was hoping to get Cochran on his side to vote someone off, but it didn't work...they all voted Cochran off (2 didn't). So I don't understand why he chose to give it away to Cochran. He did say he'd give to them now intending on them to give to him and food challenges they won. Yeah, like Coach is going to give his food to Albert! Guess we'll see.
Did you catch it? It was a fun episode this week!

Yes, I saw the said episode and it was indeed fun! Crazy-fun in fact! I personally think that Cochran deserved what he got. Did he really expect the "cult" to sacrifice one of their own for him?! And he calls himself a "Survivor Expert"? Yeah right!

I know! Only thing he "got" from past episodes it how to lie and get something! He said it was his birthday, and it wasn't! But it got him a massage.I never did understand how he could possibly think that Team Coach would keep him over one of their own! But...it probably will mean that if Ozzy is a finalist...Cochran would vote for him as opposed to voting for a Team Coach finalist...he believed them and flipped on his team, only to be voted off by those that said they'd take care of him! I do hope Ozzy wins this one...he is really the only one playing the game as it is supposed to be played...

Cochran is a mega survivor fan and lots of fans failed miserably on the game because they were so excited to do a move and they wereoverwhelmed their dreamscame true. but the some of the most clever survivorplayers are not even survivor fans ironically.
Brian Heidik- He is the winnerof Survivor Thailand(season 5),he is a pornstarWho introduced him self as a used Car sales man. He played a perfect game, won it with an ease. he never watched survivor when he joined, he based his gameplay on his personal life experiences.
Parvati Auditioned for the Amazing race but she is casted to survivor. she is the top of the social ladder when she was on school, so she manage to play the strategic and social aspect of the game cos she knows how to be the "popular girl"
Sandra-didnt watch survivor when she is casted in Season7, Pearl Islands, with the lack of knowledge of the game,she conceptualized a simple strategy that works. "as long as its not me" she publicly announced that strategy and people are approaching instead of targeting her because of that, even if she is loud. After her first time win,she became a fan though, but she won this game 2 times.
Yul who won Cook islands,didnt audition for the show, he is recruited through facebook.He is also not a fan of the show.

Do that but promise to let me know! THat will be really interesting...he complained that they treated him badly is why he flipped, but that team treated him badly..and lied to him too! I think he probably takes over for the most annoying player... after johnny fairplay!

Oh yeah...Cochran has to go to RI...This could be really funny...him and Ozzy! I bet the creators had this one fixed....has been 2 being voted of so there was 3 on RI...now just one voted off and 2 on RI.....and they could have even done something with the challenge to favor Cochran or harder for Ozzy to maybe make it so Cochran can beat Ozzy!!! That will be the Survivor eliminiation of the history of the show if Cochran beats Ozzy at RI!!!! Could be tho, Ozzy won't feed Cochran and that might help him more. This should be good next weeK!!!!

I cant wait to see Cochran's Ponderosa video, The first 4 Jury members are talking about him bitterly, The loser's lodge is a Paradise hotel, but once Cochran gets there. There is going to be tension. Oh I forgot, He is not eliminated yet, If Ozzy gets to beat him in duel, Cochran might experience the worst bullying at the Jury house.

I was shocked to see Cochran go, but yes he deserved it. He turned on his side so what did he expect? But part of it is in the way the show is put together. The editors only show us everyone saying they want to save Cochran, so we think "oh yeah he's staying for sure". There must be a lot we didn't see.
They do count the days and do know what day it is every season. They've celebrated other birthdays on Survivor. Usually they mark tick marks in a tree or something of the sort to count the days. I've seen it in past seasons and am sure they all know. Often you'll hear survivors saying what day it is "day 33" for example. So that part is realistic.
I have NO idea why he gave the shower away to Cochran. It almost sounded like Albert didn't want the reward at all so just gave it away. It wasn't like Cochran was begging for it.
Coach claims to be an upstanding guy so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins food in the future and gives it to Albert... but we shall see!
It was a fun episode but I'm glad to see Cochran gone. He only made it so far b/c he screwed over all his teammates. If he had stuck with them, he may not have made it all the way but probably at least to 6!

Yeah, they do cut alot. I guess they could keep track..just not something anyone thinks about. It's stuff like that that I would like to see more of instead of the constant bickering.
At the end/credits...didn't Coach show his ballot and he vote Cochran off? I was sure I saw that, but it goes fast, so many I didn't see it right. But on the episode...he told Cochran he'd take him to final 2...and then I thought he voted Cochran off...did you catch that? Am I wrong?
Yeah, no big deal a shower....I was just wondering why Cochran. I can see Coach, but why not RIck or one of the girls that he plans to count on her vote/alliance? Guess we'll never know...unless that is a question on the reunion show!
And then again...producers could go either way ....no more food challenges, or one more and specifically to see if Coach follows through!
It was a fun episode. Cochran just dug his hole and th other team just pushed the dirt back in. You just don't flip your tribe before the merge! Kind of like a Survivor Constitution! He might not have made it but he wouldn't have done any worse. His team needed his vote to vote off the other team...and he took it from them which made their demise.
Next week should be great fun watching Ozzy's face as Cochran walks in RI and then what the challenge will be...and holy crap...if Cochran beats Ozzy....

it should have been obvious that coach is trying to be rob.he said he has an alliance of 5,added edna as 6,now why would he want to take number 7 cochran to the final 3.
even if he wants to,i am not sure his fellow alliance player wouldn't liked it anyway.
its obvious why albert chose coach.but i am not sure about cochran.may be because he knew that they are going to vote him off.
btw have they start telecasting season 24?

Cochran basically digs is own grave to begin with, betraying your own tribe shouldnot be done when you have the same numbers with the other tribe, Had he stickedwith his tribe, tell ozzy they were voting for keith. Give keith ozzy's idol. then switch alliance and vote off an upolu, he would have done better, The right moment to switch alliance is when the opposition have only 2 members left. Dawn is loyal to him, he could have done his revenge perfectly if Upolu have 2 members left. But no he did it when Upolu have 6 members.
I felta bit sorry for Edna,she is a hard worker but she started playing the game too late. had she approached Whitney,Dawn and Cochran, a change might have happened.
Savaii Tribes demise happened the moment Jim did the unnecessary move of voting off Elyse, over cochran.
I want Coache's allianced to be messed up next week, Hope a miracle happeneds and Edna wins immunity. But based on her performance... it seemed impossible,unless the challenge is inventing pantiesthat acts as anesthesia.
If Sophie and Albert have brains like they claimed they have, they will get rid of coach,.

I know. I just don't know why they are all keeping Coach! He does nothing to speak of, and doesn't do anything around the camp...and a previous player several times...I just don't get it..unless they think that the other team who is now the jury will vote for anyone other than Coach. But other than that.. I don't get why they keep him. At least in keeping Ozzy, they had a food provider!
Yeah, Cochran, Dawn, WHitney and Edna...that'd been a good alliance to all those guys thinking they are kings! ANd SOphie and Albert would have joined them I bet. Next week should be interesting!

I'm so sure this batch didnt miss last season , since Christine said "Pulling a Matt" I'm sure these people saw BostonRob making a bunch of puppets out of his alliance. Maybe they were underestimating coach based on his last performance. he have more experience than them, no matter how bad his past game is , he had advantage, these people are blind.
I just Realized Rick is still there and it took us 11 episodes before we hear is voice.

Yeah, Coach could be pulling a "boston rob"...and BR won so maybe. Although I think BR was more likeable to the other side than Coach is to this current jury. I know what you mean about Rick...I thought same about Albert...forget he was there!
