I was glad to see Edna tell people to get over it as they knew what they signed up for. I've never understood the anger and bitterness at the final tribal by the people who are on the jury. After 23 seasons is it not pretty clear that you can't win without lying and backstabbing people along the way? I don't think it is a reflection of most outside the game but in the parameters of the game that is the way you SURVIVE!!

I agree that it was a very good season. One thing that happened more in this season than any other was the "calling people out" during Tribal Council. Brandon gets credit for a lot of it but there were others who called people out at TC, including Ozzie calling out Coach.

 

This year is in the top seasons of me being less sure about who the winner was going to be in the final 3. Usually it is pretty clear who the winner will be and while I felt it was going to be Sophie, I thought it very easily could have been Coach. Also, Coach never had one vote cast against him the entire season and still didn't win the money. I wonder if that has happened before.

 

The final tally was 6-3 in favor of Sophie. Which three Survivors do you think voted for Coach? I know the answer. Just curious to what everyone would guess.

 

Cochran obviously. I'm going to guess Jim and Keith.

I generally agree with you but Coach was very close to pulling it off. If he hadn't backstabbed Brandon and Rick, and he had let Ozzie have his shot in a fire challenge versus Albert, I think he could have played a clean game without backstabbing anyone. Whether he would have won, I don't know for sure but I tend to believe he would have.

The ones I missed, I watched online. I believe I have seen them all.

 

Yeah, I haven't seen them all live, but thanks to CBS putting them online during my college years, I haven't missed any ever.

I figured it was Cochran, Ozzy, and Brandon...

Ozzy, Cochran, Brandon

No one has the three votes for Coach right but I will help you out - the names of the three who voted for Coach have been listed by those who guessed.

Jim, Cochran, Ozzy

I can handle Coach's game play had he not kept using the words 'honor' and 'integrity' and 'my word as a Christian man'. That is what cost him. He came off as hypocritical even saying those things when talking into the camera by himself yet he proved to be just as manipulative and canniving as Russell. That is what cost him. He wasn't true to the image he portrayed and it cost him 1 million dollars. He tried to play Boston Rob's game but he wasn't as good as Boston Rob playing it.

Very well put! He has worn out the bolded phrases so many times over. He should have just been the villain from the beginning. I would have had more respect for him.

Jim, Cochran, Ozzy

 

Nope ... 2 of the 3 correct.

Jim, Brandon, & Cochran

Jim, Brandon, & Cochran

 

Thank you.

 

How about crazy Brandon voting for Coach? If Coach hadn't flat out lied to Rick and had given Ozzie his shot at Albert, I think Coach wins. Yes, even against Ozzie.

Surprised me a little that Jim voted for Coach. But Brandon and Cochran didn't at all.

I think the anger and bitterness arises when people are meek, whiny, and apologetic during the final tribal. Own your game and say you did it because it was part of the game. How do you say on one hand that you want people to vote as it's a game, but on the other hand you are apologizing and trying to humanize your decisions? If it's just a game then you need to act that way at the final. The people who have owned their game (Todd from China, Parvati in Micronesia, etc) and played that way have ended up winning.

 

I'm starting to get more frustrated with that line of thinking than anything about Survivor.

Thank you.

Let's say this happens here is who the jury would have been.

 

Keith - Voting for Ozzy no matter what.

Whitney - See above.

Jim - See above.

Dawn - See above.

All of these guys were rooting Ozzy and especially wanted someone from their tribe to win.

 

Cochran - Probably still votes for Coach.

Brandon - Probably still votes for Coach.

Drinking the Coach Aid.

 

Edna - Wild card for me in this situation. I think she might have respected Coach for his move and it definitely makes him look like less of a hypocrite.

Rick - Wild card for me in this situation. I guess the thinking is, he would still respect Coach and maybe vote for him if he hadn't have been lied to.

 

 

Albert - I think Albert would be mad at Coach and I could actually see him voting for Sophie. Either way I don't see it being Coach.

 

I think at best Coach could get a 4-4-1 tie with Ozzy.
