Survivor: South Pacific

[bgill]

Hahahahahaha! When will these guys learn? Never, ever give away your advantage. As if God really cares about the outcome of a tv show. Let God give the million to Coach as he's the only one who might give some of it back to the community. Oh, to have known what Jeff was thinking through that TC, lol. This following up on Brandon's dad trying to twist Coach's arm is pure justice.

Another lesson these guys haven't learned is not pulling out the idol. They've written the check out to Coach (or Ozzy) and are now only playing for that little extra in their consolation pay. Christine was prophetic. Coach should have been the first one out.

I'm sure Brandon got a few head slaps from his Dad and uncle Russell last night as they sat watching things unfold on TV. That was such a dumb move on his part!

I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer, but God's answer is not always the answer we want.

Let God give the million to Coach as he's the only one who might give some of it back to the community.

Yea, right, I'm sure that's gonna happen.....Coach's sole resume' history was "soccer coach", thus the nickname "coach".

I was disappointed in the other players when he was first on Survivor. I was desperately hoping that he'd be invited on a beachcombing safari and when way out of sight of cameras, somebody would bash his head in then drag him out to sea and let the sharks or crabs feed of his dead body............alas, it never happened.

But there's still hope for this season.......

[girlscout]

You forgot he was also a conductor for some symphony.

[MomwithHope]

At tis point I’m rooting for Ozzy. Coach has them all drinking the koolaid, they seem resigned to have him win the million. Not seeing much fight in them. Still sure that if Ozzy is in the final 3 he will win it all. most of the jury will vote for him. If coach had any sense of self sacrifice he would volunteer for redemption to knock Ozzy out of the game.
Brandon what a nutjob, his uncle Russell must have shot a hole through the tv when he saw Brandon give away the immunity necklace.

[Hot Tabasco]

You forgot he was also a conductor for some symphony.

Yep, I forgot that......LOL!

What a F'n phoney that guy is.........forget the game, I'm talking about his life.

[EveningStar]

You forgot he was also a conductor for some symphony.

He still is.

[EveningStar]

At tis point I’m rooting for Ozzy.

I've always appreciated excellence, so I should be rooting for Ozzy. But there's something about him that's always annoyed me.

[MomwithHope]

He can be a little arrogant but he’s better than the others that are left. IMO

[Hot Tabasco]

He still is.

Well I'll be darned......he is

It’s rat killin’ time.

We’ll see who has the stick and who’s the rat.

[PeteB570]

Woulda’ and shoulda’ don’t count so we’ll have to go with the three we were given for the final three.

Al? Buddy, all that jumping around and almost making a move didn’t win you any votes from the jury.

Coach? You tried so hard to be a Boston Rob but came off more like a Russell to the jury.

Sophie? You were in the key alliance fom the start, kept things on the right track from the sidelines and did better in the challenges than Coach or Albert. You almost beat Ozzy at the 1st challenge and then you spanked him in the second.

Oh well, on to season 24.

[girlscout]

And so it's done. Congrats to Sophie who was the more deserving in the end. I think it's sad that Brandon's family is so mad at him that no one bothered to come to the reunion show (Russell had to and is also paid to attend). Speaks volumes about the Hantz family.

The next season should be interesting with them all living on the same island but yet as 2 tribes. I wonder if they'll be playing I Spy between the two tribes with bush lurking. I didn't catch where this One World will be.

[bgill]

The only saving grace is in the end the jury didn’t drink the koolaid. Coach was proven the liar he is. Edna tried to sway the jury but his swearing on his Christian faith was more evil than even Russell could hope to be.

Geez, did we really have to hear from Russell? He sat there toad frowning for the camera the whole time. Brandon’s manic highs and lows were disturbing. That Hantz clan is weird and scary bunch.

We also didn’t need a long commentary from Cochran and Ozzy at the expense of not letting others have some time. I’m fine with Ozzy getting the fan fav a he deserved it for his challenge wins. Not for his social game because as has been said there’s something just off setting about his more so than just arrogance.

It wasn’t so much that Sophie beat Ozzy but that he beat himself. He froze. Here hoping she has the good sense to invest the money wisely and not blow it all in six months.

As for next season, I like the new twist but can see where there would be lots of backstabbing and eventually them ending up as one tribe or breaking into third subtribe.

[bgill]

Thanks so much for handling the ping list. See y'all in February.

According to this, it will be in the same location, Samoa. So 4 of the last 6 will have been in Samoa. I'm sure that cuts down on production costs.

Thanks for the info, Samoa is a pretty place. The players don’t seem to be eaten up by as many bugs as other locations have shown.
