12/18 Finale Show Discussion **Spoilers**

[Tilden]

Guess I called that one. No way is Rick going to vote for Coach now--and he does have every reason to vote for Ozzy, since Ozzy was the person who didn't vote for him. Plus Ozzy has really excelled at the outplay portion of the competition.

[Tilden]

Right, they know Sophie's strong and has won challenges, that she's not one to cry on a whim...she picked up some jury votes there, in my opinion.

I think it's that combined with the way Coach is acting. He's sold out too many of them, and he didn't exactly leap to Sophie's defense while still going on about how they're all a "family" still. Loved the jury's reaction to that.

I wish Rick had gotten more screen time. These last two episodes, he's shown that he might have been at least as interesting as watching all those prayer circles.

[dagwood]

Anyone else want to smack Sophie for demanding Albert drop his stack and go pick her tiles up?

[Bearcata]

Rick is going to vote for Ozzy, that's his big strategic move? Seriously what has Ozzy ever done for him?

[SugarMama]

Coach not playing the idol was classic....

Talk about teasing...

Did he not play it or was it just not shown? (they're fitting final 6 into two hours this time, whiz-bang footage)

I'm praying that Coach doesn't win this, he turns my stomach.

Coach has lied at least 3 times and it's only 30 minutes into the final show. That word as a "Christian Man" - I'm so glad Ozzy brought that up at TC so everyone on the jury could hear it.

Loved how Rick told him to "have a seat" when Coach wanted to hug it out. Ugh.

Sorry to see Sophie break down but Jeff was right to call her on being upset about something she was doing as well.

Coach calling Ozzy out for being deceptive and stabbing someone in the back??? OMG, I cannot believe how this man can convince himself of anything, no matter how ridiculous!! He was planning to vote Ozzy out at the first opportunity. Now Coach and Ozzy hug it out and Coach is back on board with them going to the end together....is Coach going to flip on this idea yet again??

Probst asked him and he sat there smugly and didnt give it to him.

No, I didn't see it that way. I felt she desperately wanted to beat Ozzy and thought Albert was far behind (after all, Jeff had indicated that).

[sweetpea]

Interesting that Ozzy would rather see Sophie and Albert go to a tie rather than vote one of them out.
