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

[happygirl]

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!

you are mistaken, god cares about everything we care and worry about. No need is to small no need is to great

I think it would be hysterical if Christine beat Ozzy and now Cocharan has the idol.

I really wish they would back off all the religious stuff. it's getting old.

Im not religious nor I practice any religion, however i respect their believes, this just goes to show that some people would use religion and prayer well knowing that they're lying and backstabbing all in the name of 'god', its just sick.

Ozzy's ego is wayyy bigger than even Russel's. Battle of the egos.

I agree on the religious stuff specially when they are lying.

I agree. If you want to pray, fine. but pray for the right purposes. It's getting tiring to have it in our faces show after a show. I tune in to watch survivor, not to attend a prayer meeting.

As an Ozzy fan, I hope his strategy works out....can't wait for next week!

I was also turned off by all the praying that Coach and his team were doing.....it was a bit much.....

Couldn't agree with you more!

Thank you.

I am an Ozzy fan and hope his plans work. Can't stand Cochran though.

Its gonna be a looong week.... waiting and waiting. I like Ozzy but he can be a little egomaniac sometimes. I like the old Ozzy better, but I hope it works or he'll be the biggest loser ever, Christina can kick butt too.

Me three.

I do like Coach much more this time around. He's not as bizarre as he was in the past.

 

[bumcat]

This has been the weirdest Survivor. I am not liking Ozzy this time around.
I do not even know who I want to win.

 

[bunkkinsmom]

Uh, I am watching online now. Seems to me that Coach is making a joke of this praying stuff. I work for my church, I am a Christian. This is stupid.

 

[bunkkinsmom]

Also, I was VERY excited to see Ozzy coming back. Not so much now. Kinda getting on my nerves. I'm not even sure I want him to beat Christine?!?! I would almost like to see her win the whole freakin thing!

 

[travelbug24]

OMG - Can't wait until next Wednesday!

 

[damien]

Ozzy's move was stupid for so many reasons, I don't think there's enough space on here to list them all.

 

[Jennasis]

Prayer works. Brandon prayed to find the Idol and it worked. The praying convinced Coach to share it.

As Happygirl said, no need is too small or "beneath" God.

 

[Sorsha]

As I said to DD17 last night, it just goes to show how easily religion can be used to deceive less-informed people.

Coach had the idol, he knew he had it, and he is a shrewd enough judge of character to realize this time around that the way to become very very popular with his tribe is the religion angle. Now I am not saying that Coach isn't a pious, religious guy, he probably is; but he analyzed Brandon and the others and saw how VERY much religion affected them. So he, in a position of knowledge ("I have the idol") used prayer to convince everyone else that the Lord was working miracles for them ("Look, we prayed about it and not 5 minutes later the idol mysteriously appears!") and POOF now the tribe is all united and happy-happy and Coach is The Leader.

I can just as easily visulaize this scenario as it has worked out countless times in history when a slightly corrupt Faith Leader whose followers are uneducated or ill-informed prays about something he already knows will happen, just to achieve the WOW effect when it does, and further cement his position as Leader and Closest to God.

SOOOOO tired of the prayer/Playing The Game for God angle - can't wait to see that tribe get destroyed at the merge.

Prayer works. Brandon prayed to find the Idol and it worked. The praying convinced Coach to share it.

As Happygirl said, no need is too small or "beneath" God.

He didn't share it. They received another idol and he mislead them again by pretending they found the original one.

 

[amid chaos]

I have a different take on Ozzy going to redemption island. I think he is done and wants out. If by chance he changes his mind before the competition then he'll go for it, but I believe he is so sick of his tribe that he just needed out of there.
