[survivor]Survivor!

[grandpalovegood]

I missed the first three minutes of the show, only to pick up where they were all sitting around the campfire yelling at each other. I thought out loud... What happened?

All I know was Ozzie was mad and they were on his case about something... then out came the I'll show you comment about the Idol. I don't think it was such a big surprise to some who's already guessed. Still, I'll have to rewatch the show... I missed many parts due to our house guest chats more during the show than during commercials or quiet moments.

I do think they messed up voting that girl off when they should have sent Edna. Right now they need to win events and so Michala messed up this one time, she's still strong enough to learn to listen when her team mates are saying step down or do it different. She kept doing the same technique that she didn't win a hit with... I think she deserved better support or at least a chance to prove she can do better. My goodness, she's helped them on all of the other games win, or come close... neck and neck. As they said, Edna might be loyal to them right now.. but loyalty will not help you when the merge happens and the other team picks ALL of the lesser number team one at a time. She will bring Coach and all the rest down with her. RIght now they need strength and numbers.

I think they did a bad move. Now it's their turn to see if they are going to learn. I see Ozzie's team coming out ahead when the merge happens... then it's bye bye to Coach and his team.

OH and I laugh every time Jeff says there's another clue to the whereabouts of the idol. They were both found ages ago. ;D

[Duddahs]

I agree with you about Coach but I do not believe Ozzie is going to come back from the brink of extinction as easily as you might believe.

I think they will use him to get to the merge and then cut him like a knife.

I agree that Mykayla should not have been sent packing Edna, no matter how loyal and honestly, I do not see her as being as much loyal as to sucking up to Coach.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and Edna is weak both in mind and spirit.

[grandpalovegood]

what makes you think that I believe that about Ozzie? I mean, I still have yet to go ahead and find time to watch the part I missed before I can make up my mind. I'm on the fence about Edna's loyalty. I think it's too far ahead of time to make up an assumption on her loyalties as of yet... just too soon.

[Duddahs]

No matter Miss Charlotte, nothing to get the bunches about.

Guess we will all see in time what is to happen, or what has actually happened already and that we have not had the chance to be privy to yet.

I also am not the biggest fan of Cochran.

[Duddahs]

Good grief OZZIE, what were you thinking?

Oh that's right, all looks and no brains.... Sounds like my ex!

[Duddahs]

Cochran is such Weasle and not in the way that the Weasleys are either.

And boy, does it not figure that that hypocrite Brandon suddenly became Cochrans protector and buddy, buddy.

I thought all that Brandon protested about being all about the truth, honestly, decency yada, yada, yada was all a bag of dog poop. Now I know it is for sure since he is embracing a proven liar and someone who has just stabbed his entire team in the back.

I can only hope that Albert will flip to to Ozzies side as the woman that got the immunity this week along with Oz is my favorite in the show.

She tried with all of her might and decency to get Cochran to not betray his entire team for a short lived survival.

Ultimately, Cochran will not win. No way, no how. As she told him... Karma!

[grandpalovegood]

You know... I think it's so funny how the two of us can watch the same show and come out with the exact opposite points of view. ;D

Will post here after I tend to something here at home first.

This is sooooo funny. ;D

[grandpalovegood]

First of all.. I hope Ozzie looses and so is voted off soon. He ticked me off by being so stupid to think that Christine would have gone back to the Coach's team. My goodness, she would have been their seventh person when the merge happened. Her whole side never wanted her to come back... not one person. Why would anyone on either side think she'd go back to those who stabbed her in the back? She only spoke the truth that first day on the beach and ONLY because Jeff pushed her to answer his question, so it meant death to her once Coach decided to take her out first for her comment about him. They never gave her a chance and yet all of the times she kept winning the duels at Redemption... that showed what she was made of. THen here comes stupid Ozzie thinking he's the smartest thing on earth. So, for that he took her out and that was really the only thing I was looking forward to seeing was Christine's revenge on Coach.

Look out Ozzie... here comes some stale left over meatballs from last month..

Then there is Cochran. I really never cared much for him... an underdog that is for certain. I usually like the underdog. I felt sad for him. Each week he had to beg and plead... grovel and try to sweet talk his team mates to not vote him off. Then every single week, they took pleasure of telling him it's between him and some other person. What is that? What does that do to a person when they are constantly talked down to and told they are worthless? Well... even when Ozzie came up with his brilliant plan. He only kept him around because he wanted to USE him. Cochran is not dumb. I'm so surprised that his team mates ever expected for him to be loyal to them after the way they treated him. What did they think he was, some moron who would kiss their feet no matter what they said or did to him? Dawn was right in the beginning when she was thinking more clearly.. she felt for Cochran and saw how her team mates never treated him right and that he did not deserve it. It was only after she won individual immunity for herself did she lost her sense of right and wrong. I"m glad he's defected to a team where they at least try to show respect for one another. As much as I dispise Coach, I think his team has proven they have it all together. They don't try to use each other nor put each other down constantly. Instead they try to boost each other up for the sake of the team.

Go Coach... for being a good one...
(now for saying that I will place the bar of Lifeboy into my mouth hoping I won't go blind. LOL)

Now for Coach... As I just mentioned... how much I dispise the man... I'm so impressed with him at this moment. I laughed my head off when they saw through Ozzie's performance and lies at Redemption challenge. Then once he sat down with Cochran, he laid it all out there on the table for him... Showed to me that there really is much more to this man than just hot air... he's smart too. ;D I mean it. Then he was also perfectly right to be skeptical of Cochran in the beginning... I'm so glad that eventually he learned to see that Cochran has been treated like dirt by his team mates and so he's now welcoming him onto his team. I don't believe Cochran will win... so I'm not worried about that.

Brandon... He's not stuck his foot into his mouth in a few weeks. That is good. He's seeming to relax and trust in himself and his team mates. I still see the paranoid person that he is will surface once again. I do not think he'll last another week if he acts up again or spills the beans of his groups plans another time. He's a liability to whomever he learns any information from that is on his team. For him to be left out on the outs of the 'need to know basis'... THAT will be the only way he will last in this game. Yep, he's an idiot. BUT... I was impressed with him the other night. He told Cochran to stay close.. and I SOOOO LOVED how he told that guy (the one who grows marijuana and is a professional gambler) that that is what he gets for treating someone with such disrespect... he gets disrespected in return.. Of course this was not his words but the words he chose was so fitting and meant exactly the same, I actually cheered for the first time for Brandon. I do think he found a friend in Cochran... both brothers of sorts who really have me scratching my head that is for certain. I will eat my hat if either win this game.

Now for next week... I have no clue who I want to win... I think I'll have to agree with you wholeheartedly... GO DAWN!!!!! The only one with morals... who is not self centered... and is not out to get anyone in a dishonest way.

[Duddahs]

Well, you and I are clearly watching two different versions of the very same show.

I could not disagree with you more on every single point, that is except about Dawn.

Now, I guess we will just have to watch and see who does what to whom...

Cochran is a Cockroach with a sniveling back stabbing personality. I am so shocked he even made it through the screening process for the show. He is not an underdog, he is road kill.

[grandpalovegood]

What I thought was so funny.. not only did we have the exact opposite points of view, but we both narrowed down our vote to win and ended up with the same person. ;D

Funny also how a show like this could bring out such deep emotion from people.

Here's a fresh, sloppy, sauce dipped one for you.


(edited by me to take out a mean comment... sorry. )

[grandpalovegood]

Laughs an EVIL laugh.... since VOldemort does not seem to know how to.


;D

[grandpalovegood]

Oh my goodness!

First off... I STILL don't like Cochran. The words I posted the other day was what I actually saw going into his decision to jump ship... I just didn't blame him that is all. My problem tonight was how his old tribe members never saw how they treated him. Each of them took turns saying how THEY were the one who personally SAVED him? Where do they get that from? The way I remember it, they kept telling him it was between him and some other person each week that way they could trick the person who was up against him into believing it was Cochran going home each time... thus they never knew it was their time to go. Good grief... his entire tribe kept using him and belittling him. Then to see the way he was acting today? He should NOT have pointed ANYONE out from his old tribe to tell them who he wanted voted off. People who are so smug will get their come uppance. And Coach's team will remember how quick he was to choose who's next to bump off... He didn't waste any time in pointing two off immediately.

I will say I am SOOOO glad it was Jim's turn. I never could stand the guy from day one. He's a horrible man nothing to it.

As for Coach.... I am really liking this new guy he's turned into. He actually mentioned how he does not want to be the arrogant person... That was what really got me frustrated with him so long ago... so stuck on himself, like the world revolved around him telling his horrific stories that were so hard to swallow. I can't believe I'm actually beginning to like the guy. But I've always seen myself as the kind of person who likes to keep an open mind about people... even give people a break who have proven themselves to be a pain in the butt... I know people can change for the better if they put in an effort.... and it looks like that he has done. Now watch, next week I'll eat my words for saying such a thing.

OK..... Duddah (or anyone else who might be watching this show,) who do you believe.. (not WANT, but believe) will be voted off first... Cochran or Brandon? I honestly think Brandon will go first... He's a loose cannon, a liability to anyone who is on his side.

[grandpalovegood]

Last weeks recap of this season was a real eye opener. From years past I thought they only do a recap during Thanksgiving week of what we already saw... This year they showed us all of the cut scenes we never got to see. I know it answered many questions that I wondered about.... For instance, what actually caused Coach to take Cochran in?... Why on Earth was Cochran dancing around like an idiot while wearing Coach's jacket and without Coach getting upset? What's this?? Ozzie wanting to enter in an alliance with Coach? good grief. He really does think Coach is that dumb. LOL



THen this week I was shocked. I have to go back and rewatch the end of the episode from two weeks ago. I was surprised that there were two people sent to Redemption Island to be with Ozzie. I knew they were going to vote off one tribe one at a time, but this? I guess I fell asleep and missed the end of that show.

Then, by the way things were going, I was worried.. Please... PLEASE NO! I was actually beginning to think Cochran might win this thing. Uh-uh.... no way. I really hoped Dawn would make it, but that it out now.... cries.... So now I am saving my vote for Sophie... too bad I'm not out there to actually put in my vote. And isn't it always the one you want voted off that wins immunity? And every time they do a commercial hinting that a certain person is in danger, that person lives for yet another day.. I don't see Brandon being voted off next week. It'll happen no matter what.. but not next week. Good grief.

I"m already hoping for next season to be better choices of people.

[Duddahs]

I am so glad that Ozzie has continued to win on the Island. He is the true definition of a winning Survivor.

Now I just hope he makes it back and kicks butt and makes it to the final where I am sure he will take the votes.

[grandpalovegood]

There was a day when I would have agreed with you... but after the way I see he treats his own team mates.... as Coach pointed out, who allows his team mates to sleep where they could get ate up by bugs every night? I'm so glad I'm not on his team. His true colors came out to me several weeks ago and I'm having a hard time getting past that..... but I WANT to.

*slumps in my chair*

[fawkes]

At least they finally got rid of Cochran..

Also, I do not think Cochran is going to have a very fun time hanging with the other judges.... They are going to eat him alive... Spit out his bones and then dance on his grave.

[grandpalovegood]

OH yes.... Halalulia


He was getting more and more annoying as time went by. And to think he didn't see this comming?

[Duddahs]

The MOUSE ROARED!

[grandpalovegood]

And to think he actually came so close. That is scary.

Come on Brandon.... stick your neck out there just a bit farther... That is it... Just right there....

Coach is going to keep him to the end. No one will want to vote for Brandon and he knows it.

NOW.... lets see if Daddy Hanz will be on the next season. ;D

[grandpalovegood]

GO OFF STUPID BALLGAME!!!!!


They are going to bump the show back an hour since this game is going way over.

Well.....

I"m going to have to record the show anyway since I have to work tonight and will miss the Live Reunion... perhaps the end of the actual vote.

Go Sophie!!!!!

I"m going to throw something at the tv if Brandon, Coach or Ozzie wins.


Off to stirr my crock pot of chili that has been cooking all day. Ooo... maybe grate some cheddar to go along with it. Something to eat while watching the show.
