Anybody but Coach. They know Coach was the brains behind the Corcoran defection and they won't reward him for it. Besides if questioned by the jury Coach WILL get long winded and talk about honor and integrity and those people will know he's blowing smoke.

Am I the only one hardcore pulling for Ozzy to win now? I dont feel like I want anyone else to win. I really dont care for of any of the Upolo tribe.

 

If the final three is all Coach's tribe who are they going to vote for over him? I think Coach will win over any member in his tribe.

 

I don't really care for Ozzy and his arrogance personally and haven't for most of the season.

 

I'm pulling for Coach, but I would like to see Albert too. Sophie woudln't bother me and if she makes it in the final three, I bet the other tribe throws there votes to her.

Let me ask you this though...how is he blowing smoke? He has stuck by his word and stayed with the people he originally set his alliance with this whole time? I know they won't vote for him, but to say he hasn't played with honor and intergrity is wrong. Just because they weren't in the group that he was honorable and full of integrity with, doesn't mean he hasn't been true to his word.

I disagree that they won't vote for him. I think they will recognize he was the leader of the tribe from day one and was the person who facilitated the only big move so far. I think Coach only has to worry about Ozzy or Sophie. Albert will come off sounding arrogant, Rick spoke for the first time last night, Edna is Coach's leech, and Brandon needs a padded room. Barring a fairly probable run of immunity/RI wins from Ozzy I think this is Coach's game to lose. I guess there is the remote possibility that Edna, Rick, and Brandon wake up and start playing this game btu I don't see it happening. The only real move he has left now is to make sure Sophie doesn't make the final three with him. I believe Sophie is the only player of his tribe that poses a real threat at the final tribal council. Not much he can do to stop Ozzy but hope a challenge comes that isn't in Ozzy's wheelhouse.

I want to see Ozzy or Albert win, however the more this plays out I'm thinking the final 3 is going to end up something like Coach, Sophie, and someone like Brandon or Edna (a person that is there because the other two know there's no chance they get votes).

 

Albert is going to be #5 on the pecking order IMO, due to his ability in the physical challenges. I just don't see Coach keeping a guy like him, who has also played a very good social and strategic game. He can beat coach in the physical stuff, and is smart enough to see through some of the garbage he's spewing. JMO.

I disagree, the whole thing with the geek was one big lie. My perception of him may be clouded, however, because I haven't been able to stomach him since his first appearance. The one thing that could salvage this season for me if he indeed makes the final would be seeing him lose. If he makes the final and wins I would rank this right up there with Thailand as the most disappointing season of Survivor ever.

Do you really believe that the people that he basically took out of competition for the million will reward him by giving it to him? I don't. If Russell proved anything it's that you can't be a master manipulator and still expect to win a million. All he's done is insure a majority on the jury that he directly eliminated. IMVHO the only way he stood a chance was if he took Cochran and Brandon to the finals with him.

 

And FWIW since the previews for next week showed Ozzy saying that the geek had no chance, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kind of trivia or knowledge duel that the geek wins. They've never shown a preview from RI before.

^Sure worked last season for Rob. He's the puppet master and idiots like Brandon and Cochran have man-crushes on him. Outside of Coach, Albert and Sophie, no one else left in the game (assuming Ozzy doesn't win every single immunity challenge the rest of the way) has a prayer of winning IMO.

I see Brandon getting to the untolerable point very soon. He may be next

^He reached that point week 2 IMO. :lol:

What thing with the geek? He never promised Cochran anything. They kept him around until all that was left was his original tribe and Cochran. What are you referring to?

It definitely worked for Rob, and could work for Coach if Sophie isn't still around.

 

The different between Rob and Coach as compared to Russell is that Russell was very malicious about it all, in my opinion. Rob and Coach just control their paws underneath them. Big difference in their styles when comparing them to Russell, in my opinion.

Yes, I do. It's happened often and Coach didn't backstab, lie, or cheat them out of any money. It came down to two even tribes and Coach was the one who made someone switch. I feel in a final three with anyone but Sophie or Ozzy, Coach will get every Ozzy tribe member's vote with the exception of maybe Cochran.

 

Since you said the only way Coach stood a chance was taking Brandon or Cochran to the finals, let me ask you this, do you honestly think anyone will vote for Edna or Rick? Coach can still take two of Brandon, Edna, and Rick and probably win unanimously. I know some people are, but I'm also not sold on Albert being able to garner jury votes.

Albert can make virtually all the same arguments for votes that Coach will make and jury members will much rather vote for him than Coach IMO.

Coach facilitated the biggest move in the game and Albert didn't seem to be anywhere around in persuading Cochran to come over. If this week showed us anything, it's that Albert's tribe doesn't think much of him at all, but conversely they all worship Coach. From the comments they've made it seems like Ozzy's tribe thinks Coach is the leader and I see them rewarding him for that.
