Survivor 23–South Pacific: Spoilers/Speculation

[Alexxxx]

Cochran beating Ozzy at RI? Yes, please! That would be survivor gold. Let's see what kind of task they have to do. If it's a completely cerebral one, we'll know the show wants Cochran to win also. I've been impressed so far that the challenges aren't about brute strength, so the male/female duals are more fair. I wonder what a male/Cochran challenge will look like.

I think it would be hysterical too if Cocrhan beat Ozzy at RI. I love Ozzy, but I also don't think he's really cut out to play this game and his ego could use a little deflating, TBH. He takes this way too seriously IMO. Then can you imagine the b*tch-fest at Pondorosa? Ozzy would still probably want to sleep out on the sand!!

I'm thinking maybe an Essay Challenge?

I think he could win because I can see Ozzy getting over confident thinking he could easily beat Cochran. It would be classic.

I could definitely see this happening. It will depend on what kind of challenge it is, physical or puzzle-based. If it is like the one with Jim and Keith, Ozzy definitely takes it. If it is some kind of word puzzle or shuffleboard, Cochran has a good chance.

Cochran hasnt even really thrived in Cerebral challenges. He seems more of a book smarts kind of guy that needs to "study" over thinking on his toes type of smarts.

Right. Cockran isn't a problem solver which is who thrives at the puzzle-type challenges.

Good point

If Cochran does indeed get shipped off, he made one of the worst strategical choices in the history of survivor. Usually going into a merge you can never trust the other tribe. Ever.

The only time it may be smart is when you have the majority of Numbers like 5-2. You have to keep the remainders of the other tribe as a swing vote in case you need the numbers.

While he didnt like the idea of having to pull a rock out, there wasnt much choice. Either way he wasnt winning. His only angle to win was portraying himself as the guy that everyone picks on and getting the pity vote.

I'd be pretty pissed if the girl wins. She hasnt really played the actual game of survivor. She's done well in the challenges but hasnt really used any strategy. But atleast she can pay for her Med school bills!

I agree that Cochran made a mistake. He wanted, desperately, to make a move to go down in Survivor history. His odds of lasting were better with the rock. He was doomed either way really.

We don't know much about Sophie yet, but we will. The filler episode this week shined a bright light on how little we really see. We did see her counseling Albert to back off on a big move so early, smart move. Since we think she is in the final three and may win, we know she did something right. The jury does not vote for anyone who rides coatails.
