Survivor South Pacific Vlog/Blog with Remy - Episode 8

[2jgard]

Albert realizes that Coach is in charge of the former Upolu, so he might try to use some strategy to further himself in the game. Albert is also a physical threat. If Ozzy makes it to the final four, and if he wins the final immunity, he can pretty much dictate who leaves and who stays. Still to early to tell, but Ozzy may be Coach's biggest threat to make it to the end. Now Keith is on redemption island mainly because he, Whitney, and Jim allowed Elyse to be voted off.

[Kantong5]

I've also started to like Brandon because he stood up for Cochran.

[Kantong5]

I'm actually really disgusted with Ozzy's tribe, especially the way they have been treating Cochran. It is bullying, and you can see this in the little promo for next week. They all deserve to be voted off, including Dawn because she went back on her word. My opinion of Coach has completly changed after this episode. I want him to win survivor. I don't like Albert because I think he is planning to get some of his tribe members out. I don't know, we'll see.

[ApricotOfLove]

Savaii played what we like to call 'a bad social game'. They told him he was getting voted out, then saved him. That's incredibly stupid because you've just made them feel like crap.

And Dawn? She's the biggest bitch because she treats him like crap too but pretends she doesn't and that she feels sorry for him to the cameras.

[Verity12ful]

Christine would have sided with Ozzys tribe, she made it clear she hhated her former tribe, so the move made no sense

[snlfankevin]

I think the winner on redemption island comes back into the game when there are 4 people left, like last season. I mean, they might be following the same format as last year by merging at 11 + the winner at redemption island (making it 12 total)

[robotchickenwingz]

@yaymeprodutions Coach can see right through Cochran he is a tool now .he

will be used to vote off all of his original tribe ..then when they are all gone he

will be next to go.. Cochran is Judas and he is playing the wrong game he

should be on Jeopardy not Survivor.

[JLKORN27]

great video heres my favrite 5 any thoghts on it 1 cocren coach ozzy dawn than russles nephew

[Remyk13]

@JLKORN27 good picks!

[JLKORN27]

good for cochran sucks for ozzy tho still like dawn wish she woundof sided with the other tribe tho

[RevelationGJS]

cochran picked the wrong time to switch over,he is still on the bottom of the totem pole with the other tribe.

[KirstenRaeW]

Cochran is STUPID. Yes, this is coming from an Ozzy fan, however, it makes no sense at ALL to flip at this point in the game. Cochran knows that he is the "6th wheel" of Savii, which isn't a great position by any means, but why would he choose to flip and become the "7th wheel" of Upolu? If he hadn't of flipped, he would have potentially boosted his life in the game, and once the tribe consisted of all Savaii members, then he and Dawn could have teamed up.

[baalbaki1986]

Cochran is really a coward. Ozzy sacrificed himself to establish a team unity and saved cochran ass by doing so. if ozzy's team will be eliminated they will become the jury and they won't vote for him so he has less chance to win the million then to draw for rocks. Yes he may get to the final but no, he will not get their votes. The harvard student thinks with his emotions, he was bitter of keith bullying him and did not think ahead.

[baalbaki1986]

@baalbaki1986 2/7 for Ozzy's tribe to have numbers. Jim, the poker player, understand odds, the harvard student doesn't play even if its 1/30!!

[baalbaki1986]

Giving keith the idol would've been a stupid move:

1- The obvious "physical" target is keith so logically the other tribe is voting for keith. But if the other tribe is smart they should vote the person which is unlickely to play the idol which is Whitney. This is probably why Ozzy chose Whitney(like when Parvati gave sandra and jerry the idol). I would've like to see why the other tribe chose keith. Is the other tribe so smart or dumb to choose keith?

[baalbaki1986]

2- They can sacrifice keith because he has a big chance of returning from redemption island.

[Remyk13]

@baalbaki1986 I think either way, Cochran told them who to pick, so team coach didn't even have to use their brains. they were lucky for the insider information lol

[cHeEzMaN1]

Picking rocks would have been absolutely stupid. Who leaves a game for a million dollars to chance? Cochran was right in flipping, especially after having suffered abuse from his tribe for over 3 weeks. Action, reaction. Cause and effect. And i was giggling in joy when watching his tribes reaction after the second vote. priceless.

[HelenaBeat7275]

I totally love Cochran for doing what he did. Aside from Dawn, I didn't really like Savaii. And this episode taught me many things:

1. Coach is really smart

2. Brandon can be protective

3. Sophie is tougher than she looks

[EpicTheMonkey]

Here is how it will probaly go next episode; Albert and Sophie will flip with Ozzy. Then you have Ozzy, Whitney, Jim, Albert, Sophie, and Dawn. On the other hand, Dawn might flip and make it. Savaii has 5 and Upolu 7... It is hard to tell what will happen next episode.

[EpicTheMonkey]

I thought it was the best episode yet. I mean, the way ozzy crushed christine, priceless. But on the other hand, cochran is a jerk for flipping. I mean he turned the tables all around. This causes chaos in the tribe. I will be shocked if cochran doesn't get kicked out next. I mean keith at redemtion. If cochran is there, he will get crushed by keith.

[deanobrown2006]

This episode was DEFINITELY "The Cochran Show"!! Love that guy, just a shame he would never get the jury votes to win =[

[Cereghini]

I like your shirt. It's very yellow.

I now officially love Cochran. As much as he's a little snake, I think he had good reason for doing what he did, because he was being treated like crap by Savaii.

Oh my God though, since when was Coach so freaking intelligent? He laid every detail of Ozzy's plan out on the table when he was talking to Cochran, like he was reading his freaking mind. Crazy Coach, I love him!

Brandon is so sweet to Cochran. I like that. Hey, I like Brandon. He's really nice.

[mosenslone]

I like cochran, and enjoy watching him. he is funny and a bit of a character. However i think he is playing the victim card. i just don't see the severe bullying. he has been awful at challenges, don't know how to socialize and not much help at camp. and now he betrays his tribe when they put all of their trust in him. it's fun to watch... but i don't see him as justified as all of you.

[gmanualify]

The difference between Ozzy and Coach has been Offensive vs Defensive game at merge. I just want to say I think the rocks rule is perfect for #survivor, because it forces a game dynamic. Second, time and time again deadlocked merged have almost always come down to the one player who is trying to game both sides, and Ozzy should have picked up on this. They don't show this in the editing but I'm guessing Coach had a much more solid strong 6 and did some smart shit regarding voting for Keith.

[RevelationGJS]

I hope cochran gets voted out,he's a nerd

[KirstenRaeW]

@RevelationGJS I agree. I cannot stand Cochran.

[dixiemeow]

I am loving Coach this season! Alas, I think his tribemates are too smart to keep him in the end. I am not a Cochran fan but I"m glad he flipped, it's good tv & Hantz was dead on - that's what you get when you treat somebody like they have treated Cochran. On second thought, Coach's tribe are not so smart if they try to turn the tables this early.

[CourtMariie08]

They did a double RI last season as well. Remember, Matt got back in and then his tribe sent him back. I don't think Cochran made a smart choice at all. Especially when he lied to their faces, twice, when Ozzy asked if everyone was okay with choosing rocks. Cochran IS a coward, he makes a ballsy move, and then retreats at the ending telling his tribe he can explain?! No, I don't think so. He knows his ass is on fire now, and is going to do anything he can save it.

[NotSoEvilBilly]

@CourtMariie08 Well maybe if his tribe was nice to him he would have stayed with them and pulled rocks.

[CourtMariie08]

@NotSoEvilBilly well maybe is he wasn't such a bad physical player, and actually DID something for his tribe .. he's dead weight. He alone, lost it for his tribe last week! You're only as strong as your weakest link .. and Cochran wasn't/isn't at all strong, and can't carry his tribe like everyone else could. I mean Keith was playing with a pace maker for crying out loud and still managed to do better that Cochran. I hope he's sent home next week! He's an easy out.

[tocofool]

I felt so bad for Cochran and i still fell bad for him since the Ozzy fanboys in real life will make Cochran's life hell now :(

[LovableViewer]

that was a freaking great episode!

[wschmrdr]

If Upolu picks off the rest of the Savaii tribe and an Upolu returns from Redemption, they should keep Cochran because he won't get 5 jury votes.

[Remyk13]

@wschmrdr I think if he gets down to the end, he could prob defend himself and def get some votes

[Vicodeez]

Its been a long time since we have seen someone actually make a move. Last season was boring.

[004Daniel]

Thats what they get for voting out elyse and christine would have been more loyal to them than cochran. Dawn never agreed to flip so she didnt go back on her word and at the end of the day you will always be at the bottom of the totem pole on the other tribe. I think jim is going to work something with sophie and albert since they kind of look like theyre trying to show theyre their own players not coachs, but I really hope edna steps it up and makes more alliances or manages to sandra her way

[CarlD2]

It's easy for Brandon to feel superior to Cochran. Otherwise Brandon would treat him as he treated MIkayla.

[KirstenRaeW]

@CarlD2 Thank you! Somebody who realizes that Brandon ain't all what he is cracked up to be. Can't stand "Little Hanz". Russel is going to have to come back to redeem himself after this season.

[juanito1975]

yes kudos to little hantz for standing up for the cock-train. I been ragging on little hantz all season, but bonus points to little hantz. I am pulling for Cochran because they treat him like shit.

[KirstenRaeW]

@juanito1975 It's his fault that they are treating him this way. Can you not see that Ozzy saved Cochran's ass? And Cochran is the one doing the betraying.

[johncrab67]

Very good points. I really like Coach more than I ever had before. I also like Cochran and Dawn.

[mel1408]

i think it was a stupid move because christine would have flipped. she hated her tribe. if she got back in the game she would have worked with them

[cstutor89]

Hey Remy, great review! Today's episode was the best episode so far.

I'm kind of mixed (more positive) on whether it was a good move by Cochran or not. I agree with flipping if the tribe you're on is mean/bullying/voted for in prior tribals. Downside is he's now 7th instead of 6th, but 6/7th place seems pretty much the same. Only time will tell if it was a good move. Dawn wanted Cochran to decide it. Keith/Jim really should have used the idol instead of Whitney and Ozzy's acting was bad.

[MrPsyxxx]

@cstutor89

Totally - Ozzy seems rather foolish for not using the idol for Keith. They even said to tell the other tribe that Whitney will get the idol. Like, what a waste of the idol!!!

[cstutor89]

@MrPsyxxx Exactly. Ozzy, Jim, Keith, and Whitney made so many mistakes tonight. They should have told Cochran to tell them Whitney and then Ozzy gives the idol to Keith/Jim instead. Keith having it would have not brought the tribal to a tie therefore Cochran doesn't flip. I wouldn't want to be Cochran going back to camp after tonight's tribal. o_O

[yaymeproductions]

Great review Remy!

I don't like the way Savaii has treated Cochran (minus Dawn). I don't like name-calling, I don't like bullying, I don't like it. Kudos to Brandon for standing up for him, he shot up one notch in my book for coming to his defense. Cochran is one of the nicest, wittiest, most intelligent people I've ever seen (based on his tweets and how he's been on the show), and I think he made a good move by flipping because he was on the outs on his original tribe.

[Remyk13]

@yaymeproductions well said!

[KirstenRaeW]

@yaymeproductions Cochran isn't smart at all. If he was, he would have stuck with Savaii until there were none of the Upolu members left. Then he and Dawn could have formed an alliance. Instead, he had to betray his team, especially Ozzy. Ozzy saved Cochran's ass. And what does Cochran do? Treat him like crap.

[MrTheamazingrace]

Kinda over Cochran now. He reminds me of how sugar played in Gabon post merge. They both had terrible games but always managed to be swing votes and never be the target. It annoys me. Cochran and Dawn should have agreed to flip when there were 9 people left so it guaranteed them f5 and they could get 1 spot farther and than try flip one Upolu member like dumbass Brandon to get to the f3

[Remyk13]

@MrTheamazingrace big similarities between redemption island and Gabon (which I'm rewatching now) I think dawn, brandon and cochran will make a move, maybe edna too

[MrTheamazingrace]

@Remyk13 cochran has already screwed over his game. Brandon is really dumb and won't make a move. Hoping Dawn will go with Upolu and her and cochran can team up with albert and sophie
