Survivor 23--South Pacific--No Spoilers**Wed 9/14**

I believe they did that so they wouldn't be going against Ozzie. They didn't go with him but they also weren't against him either.

I'm really hoping that Cochran stays around a while - he's pretty funny.

But in voting for Dawn, I think they actually did go against Ozzy. I think he will be just as upset with them as he would have been had they voted for Elise.

I'm so tired of Benjamin. Saying he would "go crazy" if someone called him by his given name, oh good grief grow up!!! I wish they would vote him off and he'd lose at Redemption Island so he'd go home, and do it before he gets to be on the jury, please!

There are a few players I wish we could get to know better, like the guy in the hat. I don't even know his name because they show so little of him.

The meat challenge was gross. I did watch it, but DH couldn't watch it with me so I watched it again with him last night and I took a potty break during the challenge. I didn't care to see that again, yuck!!

Dalton Ross' blog here... and a bit of recap/analyzing of the whole Savaii voting process...

"Personally, I don’t get this gray area at all. You’re either with Ozzy or you’re not. Voting for Dawn is still sending his biggest ally and island snuggle bunny home, so whatever grand gesture you think you’re making by not driving the blade deeper into his back by throwing your vote out the window on Dawn instead, the fact is you still are allowing him to get stabbed. The end result is the same. Elyse is gone because you decided to let her go. If I were Ozzy, I would be much more pissed at Keith and Whitney for that flawed logic than at Jim for making a legitimate and bold game move. And make no mistake, it was bold. I love gamers who are fearless in shaking things up. They turn the good seasons into great ones. Jim has already earned his casting cred with this move. But the person who could potentially be sitting pretty in this whole scenario is John. Not only would be he long gone if Jim didn’t organize this coup, but now he can sit back while Ozzy bickers at everyone else but him. Jim, Keith, and Whitney will have to take the heat, while John can plot out his next move. Unless he sucks again in the next challenge, of course, in which case he could be right back on the chopping block."

A good point, Cochrane could really be in a good position to get some leverage, he's going to be the only person Ozzy ISN'T po'd at!

I wondered at the wisdom of Benjamin sharing that he had found the HII. Of course, it was too big of a brag to keep quiet, but I think I would have laid low.

I didn't understand Keith and Whitney ( I think) voting for Dawn. It doesn't seem to do anything for them with Ozzie or the other new group.

I agree! Morons!

I believe they did that so they wouldn't be going against Ozzie. They didn't go with him but they also weren't against him either.

Keith and Whitney voting for Dawn was an idiotic move! Effectively they showed that they not only went against their alliance and can't be trusted, but that they are an alliance of two themselves. Just like they did with Ozzy and Elyse, there should be a target on Keith and Whitney to break them up. If Keith and Whitney were smart, they should have aligned with Jim, Cochran and Dawn. They are stronger and can run circles around the other 3 who would suck at individual immunity when it comes time to merge. If Ozzy makes it to the merge, they are all in trouble.

Dear Coach Benjamin,
I watched you in the immunity challenge last night and witnessed your growing frustration with Mikayla not wanting to sit out and let someone else launch a coconut. You felt she should move aside because she wasn't hitting a target. Can I ask why you didn't sit your own *** out? What I saw was you launching coconuts and all you hit was DIRT. Mikayla was at least hitting the base of the targets. She came much close to knocking something over than you ever did. Oh, but it was Mikayla that lost the challenge.Sorry, that's right, you said you lost the challenge because you didn't force Mikayla to sit down. You make me laugh Benjamin. Typical tough guy..it's the girl that loses the challenge. One day you are going to wake up and realize you are not a dragon slayer. You are just a weird man that is not even very athletic.

Signed,
A survivor fan who can't stand you.

I was thinking the same thing!

The only reason Coach wanted to keep Edith is because she will do anything he wants. I really hope she is playing them all and when they really need her, she blindsides them.

Well said, and your photo fits perfectly! Love it.

Coach wants Edna to the end, so she will vote for him, Coach is just starting to take out the stronger players who he knows will not vote for him.

and the "I love you man" "love you too" eww on so many levels.

 

[travelbug24]

Albert is another one who is disappointing me. He's such a follower. MAJOR turn off.

He did take some initiative this week. When did Coach get the II? Brandon did look like a little Russell looking for it.

Agreed! Coach is playing a better game than he has in previous times, though.

When Brandon raised his hand at tribal council I just braced myself... I knew it would be some weird comment! He does make things more interesting!

And speaking of weird comments... I guess when Ozzy goes off, he really goes off. It was bad enough he told Keith about his idol, but then he told the whole tribe in a fit of rage AND said he was just going to look out for himself and not care about alliances! Yikes. I know he tried to redeem himself later on, but did they really buy it? Dawn certainly didn't, based on her facial expressions.

I loved their immunity/reward challenge. Really creative!

What a comeback for Savii!

I think Coach is finally playing a good game!

I found it amusing how they showed a past clip of Russell walking on the beach just like Brandon was. They really do walk the same. And I LOVED Coach's rendition of the Hanz walk, lol.

What is wrong with me... I'm actually LIKING Coach right now.

Rooting for Cochran though to win it all. I'd like to see more of him.

This is the dumbest thing I have seen in Survivor the only thing that might beat it is, When Earl went home with two immunity idols in his pocket

 

[aprilgail2]

I can not stomach coach or the hanz kid--all that praying about idols, praying about challenges-- now I am not religious but I think god might have a little more on his list of things to do than an immunity idol!

 

[Kirby]

I don't mind the praying except for when they were praying to find the idol when Coach already had it.

 

[Angelhalo]

I don't mind the praying except for when they were praying to find the idol when Coach already had it.

We used rewind to double check and Coach never prayed to find the idol, he just said that they needed a win.
