11/2 Show Discussion Thread **Spoilers**

I agree with the others - it showed Keith going to RI, so I think there will be at least one more person re-joining the game.

Therefore a jury of 9 and F3.

So the deal is that once the merge happens, everyone left is either a finalist or a jury member?

No, it depends on the number of particpants that start the game. It used to be 16 players, but it really threw the numbers when Osten quit during Pearl Islands. So you will notice after that the producers started playing with the numbers with the idea that if anyone quits it will not mess up the game too much.

Thanks. That's why my confusion - like I said, I watched the early seasons. I think my last season was when Rupert won the million from the fans. So I never got to experience The Troll. Thanks for the info, Bearcata!

My hope is that Brandon and Cochran team-up immediately. I hope Brandon learns of Coach's deception about the HII, and how he was played the fool in the Lord's name. All bets will be off, Coach would never look the same in Brandon's eyes. The remaining Savaii would jump at teaming up with Brandon and Cochran if it would save their butts. Brandon and Cochran could run this thing. One from each tribe, both with enemies and threats. Both with possible alliance members, which they'll need, of course. Throw in Ozzy as the third, and that's a great final TC. If Cochran wins, I'd be happy as a clam, because I love this kid. If Brandon wins, I'll be happy for the Hantz family. If Ozzy wins...well...actually I'm sure I'll get teary eyed. He's one of my all-time favorites.

That's what I love most about Survivor...you never know what might happen.

Who's the other hated player?

I saw a lot about Russell's nephew. I like him as well

I don't hate him at all. I do feel some pity for his naivete and disgust for his lack of understanding of his religion and utter frustration at his lack of any survivor strategy and I do recognize his total stupidity during tribal council, but I don't hate him.

Where did I say you hated him.?????

I see it more as a struggle with his own desires versus his religous beliefs and the kind of person he wants to be rather than a lack of understanding.

Cochran and Brandon are my favorite players this season but neither are playing that well I think.
