And, the laughing didn’t stop at the painting, I got a good laugh at watching these idiots ramming their faces into the poles! Notice how it was the girls who kept hitting their heads? Some might say that was because they were behind the men, but I say it’s because the ones who are supposed to be such great listeners and direction-followers (women) really aren’t. That is especially true when a man is giving them the directions. I’m only kidding, so please keep the “You’re a sexist a-hole” emails to a minimum…hey, at least I haven’t mentioned any girls in their bikini’s yet, right?!? Score one for me and equal rights!
Anyway, The Coch ends up screwing up big time with the ropes and Savaii loses a bunch of time to Upolu as they go on to win the challenge. My whole thing is how important were those ties to the main rope? It still appeared as if Ozzy and Whitney could walk even with how their ropes were clipped on, so why would Ozzy stop to fix it in the middle of the damn challenge when Jeff is talking about how Upolu is way ahead? I understand you can blame the person who screwed up, but I’d also lay some blame on the person who decided to stop in the middle of the challenge after even with how the ropes were screwed up, they still made up serious time and caught up to Upolu while Skinny Albert struggled untying the knot on the last bag. Just a questionable move by Ozzy, although most blame can be put on The Coch, I guess. I still don’t know what the big deal was with the ropes…
And, again, what’s up with the praying? Coach was praying during the challenge and then ran around gathering his tribe after they had won so they could hold hands and pray again. I’d go along with it if I was on his tribe, but it’s little annoying things like that which might lead me to flip after the merge, only because I’d be worried he might make me a special batch of kool-aid one day for all of us Upolu tribe mates to drink.
Funniest part of the night was Ozzy going on his rampage, jump-kicking the wall, punching it, kicking up sand everywhere, hemming and hawing, all while looking like Pippi Longstocking with his hair braids! Too funny. I don’t know how Probst didn’t crack up watching that or at least point it out to Ozzy in an attempt to break the mood.
Little sidenote here, can someone tell Adam Sandler that he needs to fire his agent. Honestly, who told him that “Jack & Jill” would be a good idea. I’m sure it will have some funny moments in it because Adam Sandler does do some good slapstick comedies, but how can anyone find the previews of that movie appealing enough to go spend $20 on a night out at the movies?!? If people want to throw away $20, I’ll give you my Paypal account number and you can just throw it my way. And, what the hell happened to Katie Holmes’ career that she needed to take this payday?!? Everyone thought marrying Tom Cruise would be a great career move for her, but then he turned batsh*t crazy killing couches and she just seemed to give up. Come on, Joey Potter, I expected more from you, especially after the wonderful topless scenes you gave us in whatever crappy movie that was back in the late 90s/early 00s. I guess your life failed you after you chose Pacey instead of Dawson. Don’t ask me why I know so much about Dawson’s Creek. It’s not a part of my life I’m particularly proud of.
Anyway, back to Survivor. After losing the challenge, Savaii came together with their decision to send The Coch to Redemption Island. This is after Ozzy told Coch that he was going to sacrifice himself if they lost the challenge. If I was Cochran, I would have brought this up at the Kumbaya song-and-dance the tribe put on with the decision to send Cochran to Redemption. I’m starting to think I need to confirm he actually does go to Harvard Law. I feel for anyone who is represented by this meek geek after he inevitably gets his law degree. Although, he’s probably studying to be some tax lawyer or something.
Great post! I felt so bad for Cochran when Probt started ripping on him during the challenge, then even worse when they got back to camp! I am def pulling for him, as an underdog! At the beginning of the season I was a huge Ozzy fan, but by last night I was happy he volunteered himself to be sent to redemption.
After the credits I noticed that Ozzy voted for Coch, are players not allowed to vote for themselves because I was certain they would show him with his own name written down.
And I am surprised by your answer the fav reality show female contesant… I thought for sure Cassi would be in the running! You were obsessed with her!!
Thanks for the great read!
Yeah, I know everyone expected me to go with Cassi, but had I had to write blogs about the shows those other girls were on, you would have seen what obsessed really is like!! 🙂
So Scott you never answered the question above – are you not allowed to vote for yourself at Tribal?
I’m pretty sure that Jeff says you can’t vote for yourself when there is a tie, so that must be the rule. I’m with Scott, I start to question why I am watching the show until I see a real survivor move happening. It’s not happening yet, but I hope it does(usually after merge). I love the blog, love to talk survivor. The first and best reality/game show. Also as good as the biggest loser for weight loss.
