** OFFICIAL Survivor: Cook Islands Thread ** ‘Survivor’s’ new racial divide

Did you guys know that Nate is Sal Masakela's brother? Sal is a host on "E!" I saw Sal's show last week and he had Nate on as a guest. Interesting. Jonathan is a TV actor and Nate has ambitions too. Even Rebecca is the makeup artist for "the View."

Ozzy still gets $100,000 which should go a long way towards his education.


And-a car!! Not bad pay for 42 days of playing games and living in nature. He seemed to thrive it the environment! I'd say he was a winner after all. We were rooting for him to win.

I'd love to see more of Jonathan. I find him very compelling to watch, for some reason. :3dglasses lol
 
CURSE OF WINNING THE CAR

Even with moving the challenge to win the car from the island to the internet, the curse held. Ozzy won the car, therefore he couldn't win the game.

yeah, definitely, he has great eyes (lol)...and his dimples...and his Alan Alda voice... :love: and I love the way he thinks; I like his reasoning on things. He's very logical and that appeals to me, too. He showed a lot of constraint. He never lost control or stooped to the level of the people who were calling him names.

And he made the show INTERESTING while he was on it!!! popcorn:: I loved his interviews in the woods... :smooth:

Between Jonathan and Yul, this was one of the more cerebral seasons in a long time!! :teacher:
 
Does anyone know hat happened to Nate? He was on crutches the last couple of tribal counsels.

I got the following from the Survivor Cook Islands Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor:_Cook_Islands

Sundra - Yul
Adam - Yul
Parvati - Ozzy
Jonathan - Yul
Candice - Yul
Nathan - Ozzy
Jenny - Ozzy
Rebecca - Ozzy
Brad - Yul

He's got an interesting personality, but I think he totally blew his Survivor strategy, you cannot double cross that many people and get very far in that game. He blew it big time when he double crossed his original tribe and went with Yuls group. If he would have stayed, they most probably would have voted out everyone except Yul (because of the idol), and Yuls crowd would not have necessarily held it against him for not switching sides, whereas his original tribemates deservedly felt like he was a total rat for betraying them.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be a little sneaky, but I just think he went wayyyyyyyyyyy over the line in the double crossing strategy.

Although both Yul and Ozzy played good games each in their own way I would have rather seen Ozzy get it since he wanted to further his education and Yul already had the degree and a good job, I guess I just felt Ozzy needed the money more

This may have backfired as it turns out that Ozzy had told everyone he would use his winnings to build a sort of surfer commune for his pals where they could live free. http://www.ibabuzz.com/unscripted/2006/12/18/yul-kwons-survivor-strategy/

Ozzy has also been in some Playboy porn films. From recent interviews, it seems he won't be making anymore though.


(edited to remove link since it was "*****" out even though it is a safe sight.)
 
Thats interesting, maybe they thought Oz may finance some porn films or something so they thought Yul may be a little more respectible use with the cash. Yul does seem like a good guy, glad he got it after all.

It looked like an ezboard address, if so all ezboard links are starred out here :confused3
 
I don't think the other members knew about the films. That came out later on the internet while they were all on the island. They probably didn't know until after they had voted and arrived home. I think Ozzy realizes his mistake.
Here is the interview that I couldn't link to:

The Slug: Hey Ozzy. Congratulations on winning the car. Did you get to check it out?

Ozzy Lusth: I don't get to see the car until March.

The Slug: Whaaa?!

Ozzy Lusth: I know. Talk about buzzkill.

The Slug: It could have been a very merry Christmas!

Ozzy Lusth: I know. I wanted to take all my homies down to Baja for a big surf trip, but that ain't happenin' now.

The Slug: Too bad. So tell me how you feel about being the runner-up to Mr. Kwon.

Ozzy Lusth: It's bittersweet. I'm disappointed because I didn't win. Obviously. But if there's anybody to be runner-up to, it's Yul. He's an incredible guy, a lot of integrity. I respect him deeply as a friend and as a competitor. I think we both played an amazing game. He was able to convince one more person more than I was. That's a fact that might haunt me for the rest of my life but probably not.

The Slug: Jeff Probst seemed really upset you didn't win. What was up with that?

Ozzy Lusth: I tried not to do the whole play-under-the-radar thing. At the same time, I put every ounce of my heart and soul into the game whether that be climbing a coconut tree or fishing for hours and hours on the reef or jumping across the reef into the ocean or taking the outrigger with Cao Boi and Flicka to the other island — which actually took us hours and hours and was a lot harder than it looked. I think Jeff really respected the fact I went out there and embraced every aspect of the game.

The Slug: Do you know who voted for you?

Ozzy Lusth: I have a pretty good idea of who voted for me and who did not. I think that maybe some people have a small amount of regret after seeing the way I played and not just hearing my explanation through the jury. That's what it came down to for a lot of people because I didn't have a relationship with most of them. It had to be argued out in front of people. I think I spent too much time fishing and not enough time politicking. You know, Yul played an amazing game and that one person — I think it was Sundra — didn't vote for me. I thought she was going to, and I thought we had a special bond. So that was a little disappointing.

The Slug: How did you feel when they announced the tribes would be split by race?

Ozzy Lusth: I was a little weary just because I like diversity and I love being with different people. So to be with four other Latinos, I felt like, "Oh great. We're gonna clash because we're all very similar." But I thought it would be a good opportunity to disprove a lot of stereotypes.

The Slug: What did you think when the original Latino members of the Aitu tribe were voted out one after another?

Ozzy Lusth: That was something that was kind of depressing because J.P., Cristina and Cecilia
and I planned on trying to get back together and somehow swinging the game. But the pivotal moment was when we first merged and we were all going to vote Becky out, which Cao Boi had lauded. I went out fishing and Yul convinced Cao Boi to vote out Cecilia. It was a pivotal moment and changed the dynamic of the game drastically. As far as J.P. being voted out, I couldn't believe Cristina was the mastermind behind orchestrating his eventual boot. Of course, after J.P. was gone, Cristina was soon to follow. That left me alone with everybody else.

The Slug: How did you feel being so alone?

Ozzy Lusth: I was a little more free. I could play as a free agent. I didn't have to worry about my alliance doing something stupid. So as soon as Cecilia was voted out, I approached Jonathan and Yul bright and early and told them, "Hey, guys, my alliance is gone. Whoever keeps me in the loop, I will remember that and be honest with them as well."

The Slug: How did you feel when it was announced there would be a final three instead of two?

Ozzy Lusth: Honestly, I just assumed Sundra would vote for me. So I thought that was a good thing. I thought that having Becky and Yul together would detract votes from Yul, but it didn't happen. I think in hindsight it would've been a good idea to oust the idol. But at the same time, I wanted to see the four of us in the final four. I thought people would respect the way I played the game more.

The Slug: I know you have some, uh, acting experience. Will you be starring in anymore Playboy series?

Ozzy Lusth: No. That was me being young and stupid.

The Slug: Did you know that would come out when you agreed to do "Survivor"?

Ozzy Lusth: Oh, yes. Of course. The whole thing was me being stupid and needing money. I just didn't really care too much. I didn't ever plan on being on "Survivor" or in the public eye. I made a stupid mistake, and it's something I'm not really proud of. I think since then I've grown and changed a lot. It's a past chapter in my life. I'm definitely not planning on doing any more of those in the future.

The Slug: So who's the bigger sex symbol: you or Yul?

Ozzy Lusth: Hey, man. Yul's a sexy guy. He's like the Greek god chiseled out of marble. It's hard to compete with that. And, you know, he was one of People's sexiest men of the year.


Here is what everyone said in the voting booth and who they voted for, so you can see that Ozzy was well liked:


Brad (votes Yuuuuuleee): I don't know how to spell your name but you have been a class act since day one, I believe in you and I believe what you stand for, and I wish you luck from here on out.

Jonathan (votes Yul): I've always been a brains over brawn, brains over beauty kind of person, I admire all of you tremendously but Yul outplayed you all, and Ozzy, your time will come my friend, you're 25 years old, I expect great things from you. Becky, I know you are going to be fantastically happy and successful in your life. Yul, you have my vote, congratulations and I hope you win. Peace out.

Candice (votes Yul): (she pretends to write a long name) Yul, I'm voting for you tonight with no reservations. You played this game better than I think anybody who has ever has played this game. You did everything right at every moment, and came out with your integrity in tact. Um, no reservations about this vote, congratulations, you're amazing.

Nathan (votes Ozzy): ::winks:: I'm proud of you dawg.

Rebecca (votes Ozzie): I never got the chance to know you but I loved the way you played the game,and I hope you do exactly what you say if you win. Go back to school because you are extremely bright and I wish you all the best.

Sundra (votes Yul): Ummm Yul, I think you are an amazing guy and you're tried and true which I always respected and um, yeah I just knew I could always trust you and in this game that means hella a lot and I totally admire how you played this game strategically, I learned so much from you and was in total awe of your intellect and I look forward to having a great friendship with you and um, and I know you will appreciate and honor to have a million dollars and I respect that, enjoy enjoy.

Jenny (votes Ozzie): Ozzy I think you played an amazing physical game. You just were phenomenol and I admire your competitiveness and I think that you underestimated yourself as far as how you outwitted and used strategy, but I admire you if for every aspect for in how you outlasted this game, good luck to you in the future.

Adam (votes Yul): I think Ozzy pleaded his case the best tonight at Tribal Council but I made a promise with Yul that I would vote for him in this situation if it arise for voting Jonathan ahead of me, so I haven't broken any promises yet and I'm not going to start now.

Parvati (votes Oscar): The ultimate competitor, um the intensity and the passion, and the fire that you've brought to this game completely captivated me and I feel so lucky and so blessed to play side by side with you for as long as I did. I really appreciate getting to know you and everything you did out here, I think you played your heart out and you totally deserve to win this game.
