South Pacific: Ep 12
Cochran played his final challenge much like he did the rest of the game - frenetically, and with every expectation that he would lose. Maybe he just doesn't realize how defeatist he is/sounds. If he actually had faith in himself that he was capable of succeeding in challenges, I think he would have done much better overall. Ozzy's attitude afterwards I found insulting though; he didn't need so sound THAT surprised that Cochran was able to keep it close!
I was rooting for Edna to pull a coup, not because I like her, but because I wanted things to get shaken up a bit. But Coach has too good of a thing going for him, so I'm not surprised he didn't step up for her. Besides which, it would be hard to argue that he played the game with "honor and integrity" at final tribal if he backstabbed his alliance right near the end. Plus, I think that he still believes that he has her vote, so he probably wanted her on the jury anyways!
In the overall score of Savaii Alpha Male, Ozzy has obviously won. In the overall record of attempted coups that Albert has been involved in, I think it's now 0-4.
And how about the super creepy Hantz father? Everything about him was wrong. He looked a lot like Brandon but way too put together to be out in the wilderness. He was completely unsupportive of his son, who is clearly going through a difficult time while he's out there. Telling him that he has a terrible strategy when his son is explaining to him the spiritual & emotional journey that he's taking is NOT being a good parent. Then thinking that he can walk into this game & suddenly be a major strategist & influence on the game? Obviously we know who Brandon inherited his crazy from. I was pleased to see how insulted Coach was by that.
What puzzled me the most in this episode was when Coach approached Ozzy & said that he wanted to take him to the final 3. He said that he meant it, but will he actually go through with it? I'm not sure. It doesn't make any sense to me. Does Coach think that Ozzy won't win any votes? If Ozzy makes the finals I'm pretty sure that all of the Savaii jury (except maybe Cochran) will vote for him. That's already 4 votes - he'd only need 1 more to win it!
The Standings:
Team Top 3: Moon - 104 pts
1. Ozzy (43 pts)
2. Sophie (28 pts)
[3. Jim (33 pts)]
Team Baseball, Belts & Bibles: Doug/Bri - 76 pts
1. Albert (26 pts)
2. Rick (16 pts)
[3. Dawn (33 pts)]
Team Dungeons & Dragons: Me - 72 pts
[1. Cochran (26 pts)]
[2. Elyse (12 pts)]
3. Coach (34 pts)
Team ICRWYNISTB: Dachui - 52 pts
[1. Keith (27 pts)]
2. Brandon (17 pts)
[3. Stacey (8 pts)]
Team Hide Yer Kids, Hide Yer Wife: Bag - 45 pts
[1. Mikayla (13 pts)]
[2. Christine (18 pts)]
3. Edna (14 pts)
Team Country Bears: Courtney - 42 pts
[1. Papa Bear (7 pts)]
[2. Whitney (33 pts)]
[3. Semhar (2 pts)]
Power Rankings:
1. Top 3 - I hope Sophie finally starts to make moves now. She's been talking & thinking about moves this whole time & has done absolutely nothing. It's now or never, lady! Please prove that you're not just a windbag.
2. Dungeons & Dragons - I still think Coach is the favorite to win it, but I still have a pretty significant point disadvantage to overcome. I'm sort of hoping that Coach will have a successful play of the immunity idol to give me a 10 point boost!
3. Baseball, Belts & Bibles - My money's on Albert being the next to go - Rick wants him gone, and Coach should want him gone. They only need one more to pull it off and I think Sophie could be convinced.
4. ICRWYNISTB - Brandon is a close second though to getting voted off next. He may just be an unbearable personality to deal with now that they've made Final Five. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's Albert though.
5. Hide Yer Kids, Hide Yer Wife - I REALLY hope Edna beats Ozzy on RI. That would be huge for me & Doug/Bri in the pool, but even more importantly, it'd be so amazing if Ozzy's reign of terror was toppled by a tiny little woman.
6. Country Bears - Crushed!

South Pacific: Ep 11
Sigh. Cochran is finally gone after his long claw through this game. In the end my feelings for him are decidedly tepid. After a while I got sick of his defeatist attitude and constant effort to sound & act like Woody Allen. If he didn't act like a huge underdog the entire time maybe the others wouldn't have treated him like one. I hope he continues to do Coach Chi - I think he needs it.
On the other hand, Ozzy is thriving! He's doing his own impersonation of the Irish Braveheart guy - "It's MY island!" At this point I'm just assuming that he'll make it back into the game. I wonder if the Savaii members will vote for him if he makes Final Tribal? I would assume so - he might even get Cochran's vote since he seemed so upset about being voted out 7th.
The Standings:
Team Top 3: Moon - 101 pts
1. Ozzy (40 pts)
2. Sophie (28 pts)
[3. Jim (33 pts)]
Team Baseball, Belts & Bibles: Doug/Bri - 75 pts
1. Albert (26 pts)
2. Rick (16 pts)
[3. Dawn (33 pts)]
Team Dungeons & Dragons: Me - 55 pts
1. Cochran (16 pts)
[2. Elyse (12 pts)]
3. Coach (27 pts)
Team ICRWYNISTB: Dachui - 51 pts
[1. Keith (27 pts)]
2. Brandon (16 pts)
[3. Stacey (8 pts)]
Team Hide Yer Kids, Hide Yer Wife: Bag - 45 pts
[1. Mikayla (13 pts)]
Team Country Bears: Courtney - 42 pts
[1. Papa Bear (7 pts)]
[2. Whitney (33 pts)]
[3. Semhar (2 pts)]
Power Rankings:
1. Top 3 - I've moved Moon back into first place because I think that Ozzy & Sophie are both in as secure a position as they can be at this moment. Plus, he has a decent sized lead over the rest of us, so he's got more wiggle room with the points.
2. Dungeons & Dragons - I'm keeping myself ranked second because I still think that Coach will outlast Rick & the Prince. I'm wondering if one of the reasons Coach didn't change his vote was because that'd mean he'd have to side with the lazy guy in camp. Obviously staying loyal played a major role too, but it also seems like his dislike of Albert may have been a factor.
3. Baseball, Belts & Bibles - Rick speaks!! Who knew? Albert is such a weird person to watch on this show - he keeps trying to make moves and he fails every single time. He failed with Mikayla, with the turn against Edna, and now with the turn against Rick. And yet he's still in the game. You'd think with such an obvious drive for betrayal that the others would have voted him out by now. I guess it's just because he's so bad at it that he's still in the game. I think once they reach final 5 though he'll be one of the first to go.
4. ICRWYNISTB - Team Psycho continues to deliver with an uncomfortable tribal council. It's funny because no one else on the tribe even cares anymore. Brandon gets really distraught and they all get really bored & wait for it to pass.
5. Hide Yer Kids, Hide Yer Wife - It seems like the unpredictability of this game is over, so it looks like Bag's team will be the next to go extinct. It's too bad; Edna finally tried to make a move, and it just didn't work out for her. I was sure that Coach was going to switch, I'm sad I was wrong.
6. Country Bears - Team Crushed is officially done. Did anyone else think that Whitney looked stoned during that RI challenge? She seemed soooo out of it.
