Starts tonight! 8)
Good! As much as I love these magic bra infomercials on the broadcast channels I get here at the cabin, I'm ready for a change of scenery. Well, at least a change in venue. ;D

I know one of the Magic Bra models! Buffalo Girl transplanted here. 8) Great Cook!
One of the new Contestants Mikayla lives in Tampa. She plays semi pro football, linebacker.... I watched one of her games.

Russell's nephew! 8)
This should be exciting!
I liked the kickoff show. This could be a good series. :)
My favorite part was when that cowboy from Utah, Rick, chopped through that rope with that machete faster than the young buff Ozzy. :D
Good start I think. Wonder how long Russell's Nephew will be able to keep his secret hiding shirt on. Hope he doesn't get on a get rid of Mikayla kick, seems he has issues regarding her.
Also think that was a good choice to get voted off as she reminded me of the girl 2 shows ago that whined all the time plus I think it will be interesting to see how she does on redemption island all alone with no woodsy skills.
Roxie I too liked the Cowboy's chopping skills :D

What in the world is a "magic bra" .Perhaps an undergarment that makes mountains out of mole hills or something of that nature ???

Yep it's majic! :D :D From my point of view it's false advertising ;) :o
Maybe it's on Google,let me see 8) Never heard of such a thing .
You guys keep trying to drag "Magic"man into this, and I didn't do it. ;D
Some Gal named Victoria seems to have all of the Secrets. :o
My mistake, my friend models for Chicshaper. Same thing different name. Still amounts to false advertising on the consumer level. ;D
Well depends on how you look at it I suppose .I'd rather think the whole idea is to give the ladys sort of an uplifting experiance in a manner of speaking .
With things the way they are with a somewhat sagging economy it would do the ladys a great service to know they are not a part of it .I'll take a poll amongst the women at work and see how that stacks up so to speak .
Hey now come to think of it I might have hit on a second career .Imagine that an official pollster for womens under garments .Wow that would be great . 8)
Well if you think your getting a LT-40 Hydraulic but end up in reality with a LT-10........
Oh it's like mag wheels on a 78 Ford pick me up truck . Just eye candy . ;)
Side note here : I've got a terrible ornery streak and must hold the line on puplic forums with mixed audiances .I think I was born that way but a lifetime of working construction ,riding those old bone shaker Harleys plus being an ex u-boat sailor has taken it's toll . :D

:D Yeah the mind is still 20 but the bod is passed 60, the only saving grace .Mothers don't have to lock their daughters up any more, I only talk a good story now . :) Dang though it was a party while it lasted
You should apply to be on Survivor!
I'd much more rather be the pollster . ;D
That could work!
I've got some catching up to do. Hopefully the DVR picked it up.
I do remember wanting to record it but don't remember if I set it up to. ::)
Oh well, if it didn't I think they put it on their website sometime before the next show. :)
I got to see the first show on the CBS site this afternoon. :)
Looks like it will be a good season. Russell's nephew seems to have issues.
Ozzie is awesome but I think the red team may struggle a lot with the challenges.
Coach? :-X
I've made a horrible mistake in calling it the magic bra. I watched the show several more times to learn it is actually called the "genie' bra. There is a joke hiding in there somewhere. Bill, be careful.... ;) :D :D
I am sure that a girl friend of mine at one time must of had one of those genie bras , as it did appear to do magic. :o :-X
ARRRGG!! Hantz confessed to Coach!! I don't want to believe it!! Why, oh WHY do they always seem to confess to the worst guy? That just happened last time when the guy confessed to Boston Rob! Geeez, already! If Hantz had a chance, he blew it by putting Mr. Ego in the top dog position. It's the first show of the new season and already I'm wound up against not only coach (I think that's a forever issue with me...) and now against Russell's nephew. How lame....

My lips are sealed......
But I still say it promotes false advertising......
:) :) :)
I'll second that Bill, As soon as the genie was gone , so was the magic it promoted . :-\ :'(
Boys boys boys...... :)
I must be so out of the loop, here I am still looking for the Wonder Bra!
I know this is going to be waaaay off the topic of this thread, but.....that Hantz guy! He was soooo ashamed of himself not telling the truth about his 'heritage' that he had to confess to Coach. Then, because if his personal hangups, he wants the female gone! (Can't remember her name..) He calls her Parvoti after the Eye-Flasher from past Survivors. So, .... he out-and-out lies to Coach about two others wanting to vote this woman out! WHAT??? This Hantz guy was embarrassed of his name and being associated with Uncle Russel, but instead, HE'S the embarrassment! Geees, what a weenie!
More than one needs needed to learn how to keep their mouths shut. They seal their own fate by talking too much.
That guy is a real nut case with big problems. Luckily, his plan did not hatch. He needs a shrink. His Uncle is most likely embarrassed.
And then after all of that he didn't even vote for Mikayla himself.
Seems like the whole Hantz family has issues. This one doesn't seem to be as smart as his uncle Russell or at least as devious. It is just a matter of time before he spills the beans to everyone. IMO he's just another wackoo hiding behind religion as it applies to his own thinking.
Is it me or has Coach calmed down some? I suppose after losing twice before he would learn and maybe he did.
Coach does seem to be a better person or not as whacked as before.
It's early though. :D
The youngster Hantz has some demons. ::)
I get the impression from his actions that Hantz finds Mikayla very attractive and is fighting some urges that are not compatible with the Christian he professes to be. Thus, shame and anger at himself which he translates to Mikayla being a hussy. Granted, she is hot and she knows it, but I haven't seen any evidence of undue flirting on her part. Physically she is stronger and more capable than most of the guys.
I concur that little Hantz has just taken the first steps to self destruction and will very quickly follow with more steps.
For Ozzie's sake, I hope he can keep secrets better than past competitors. Don't know what it is about these people that drives them to confess things they shouldn't.
Little Russel confessed. Big surprise. ::) Papa bear didn't fit because he didn't try. Why on earth would Ozzie tell anybody about the idol? What makes him feel that other people knowing gives him more power? I have never understood the dynamics that make these people bare their souls. Notice that the rancher has not said much at all. Just watches. He could be a real sleeper.
They seem to open their mouths, tell all, and then blame it on honesty. I have no idea what they are thinking.
I have yet to figure out why people think it is a lie or dishonesty to not tell what they know. They sure seem to be dishonest to the person they are voting out.
I wouldn't tell a soul about the idol. Brandon has issues IMHO.
Right person go voted out again IMHO.
Coach ain't the old coach so far!
Great drama so far! ;)
This lil' Hantz won't be winning a million either.
It's hard to believe some people don't think this is real. :D
Little Russell is a real head case!
And it will be interesting to see how quickly they "head" him out of there.
They could blindside Ozzie and move him out. Strategy ???
I hope that they get rid of Little Russell quick. He is a pain to watch.
Being unlikeable, but good in challenges helps the team. You take the unlikeable character to the finals so that you win. Better to be 2nd or 3d place than first to go. Think Brandon is on that track?
WDH, you are so right. I hate to watch Brandon too.
Ratings folks, ratings! Given a choice between a plain old generic person and a somewhat psychotic one, which one is going to generate the most discussion amongst viewers? The thing that really ticks me off is they keep bring the same old people back when there are thousands of people out there trying to get in. >:(
Those thousands of wannabe's are not good actors, and they need good actors. ;)
I thought last nights episode was rather lame.
That "old" girl, I think that her name is Dawn, did a great job in the challenge. She is tenacious. I had underestimated her. The Cowboy is so low on the radar that you cannot see him. That must be some type of plot by CBS to keep him in the closet.
Brandon is an embarrassment to Russel. He keeps invoking Russel's name, but he's far worse....Russel was up front about what he was. And as far as being 'devious', (this is my opinion...) he paled in comparison to Rob. And speaking of which...Rob found the idol and KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT! So what is with these people finding an idol and having to 'share' it??! How lame.
That effort Dawn put forth with the challenge was a win for her personally, as well as for her team.
Russell's nephew needs therapy IMHO. I don't know how many voices are talking in his head!
More than one I bet :D
Oh, THAT was a brilliant move! What is wrong with Ozzie?!!!! And yep...I'll still vote Coach as weirdo of the year....praying to God with a lie on his lips. Now that must really be galling Junior Hantz while he's watching the program with the rest of us.
I was waiting for the lightning bolt.
Sure seemed phony. Ozzy may pull it off, but that was a bad move on his behalf.
What a maroon. :D
Christine may well beat him as the Redemption Island challenges tend to be more skill based and less physical up to this point.
Reaching out with a pole to get the key takes good arm strength. That is what I got from the clip for next week. We'll see if they rigged it to be more physical than usual.
Cochran is like a cat with nine lives and has used up a bunch of them.
Enjoyable season so far.
Coach shows how con men ply their trade.
This is shaping up to be pretty interesting. 8) I gotta pull for the geek. :D
At this point the geek has a bigger set than anybody else. Curious to see how he spins this because he hastened to add "I can explain this" after he fessed up. I kinda got to agree with him, seems pretty unfair to trust your fate to drawing a rock out of a bag when you may have played hard to get where you are.
I think Geek is going to have to pull a pretty good rabbit out of his hat to make this work. The old Blue team is pretty tight and will hold to the pact they made. I think they will vote the Geek off first available chance. The red team is down a man now that Geek flipped But if they get a chance pay backs going to hurt him. Blue could take them all out Geek included.
I think it's funny nobody bought Ozzie or the Geeks act.
Cochran's biggest problem is that he is completely incapable of winning a challenge, so the personal immunity is out of the question.
I kinda disagree on having the team he flipped to eat him. It was very obvious from the reactions at tribal council that Chocrans tribe were pthed and piithed big time. That makes him the perfect person to keep along side of you to the finals when the jury votes.

That's a good point. Nobody likes a traitor.
Cochran would be good to take to the finals, that is for sure.
If I was Ozzie, I might want a tete a tete with coach and suggest that Cochran gets the big vote next. Ozzie can tell Coach that he has the numbers and obviously can pick them off one by one. But then again would Ozzie want to take Cochran to the finals if he can run the immunity challenges.

BUT...... Coach screwed Ozzie before so I don't think he would trust him enough to put him in position do it again. This might just end up a numbers game till it's time to start eating their own.
If Coach was smart, he'd pick the other team off one-by-one. Last one to be picked off would be Cochran to repay for his vote.
Cochran could try to make another alliance with Dawn, Rick, Brandon and Edna. 3 teams with a 5-3-3 ratio. I doubt it would happen, but it could prove interesting.
A guy at the mill brought up a point in one of the upcoming shows. Usually, they have an episode where the survivors have one of their relatives come to the island. I want to see Coach's face when Brandon has Uncle Russel stop by. :D
I hadn't opened this thread yet because I just got to watch last night's episode. :o
Cochran might have just sealed his former team's fate. He'll be the seven to last person voted off because I don't see him winning an immunity. Maybe, just maybe if Brandon has another meltdown he may get on everybody's last nerve enough for a vote.
Cochran had no chance if he stayed with his old tribe. They would get rid of him first when the time came, so at least this way, he might worm his way around and hang on longer. Plus, they had open disdain for him. They treated him poorly, and they got what they deserved. You reap what you sow.
If coach is smart he will get rid of Cochran immediately. Cochran will do to Coach what he did to his team. He will convince others to get rid of Coach as soon as he can.
Kinda hard to like anyone but the Cowboy on Coach's tribe.
With 3 people on redemption, does that mean 1 or 2 will be going home at their next challenge?
If only one of them goes home per week and Whitney or Dawn win with Immunity that would open the door for a major play by Ozzy at some point. It'll be a longshot though.
Our favorite moment last night was when Ozzy said, "I'll just have to win all the immunity challenges," and he was so sure that he could! :D
Redemption Islands challenge next week will be very interesting with the three big-headed mean guys going at it!
My dislike for Coach has made this season hard to watch. I sure do wish the remaining folks would mutiny and send him packing.
With the weasel still there ,maybe Coach will be next!!
I wouldn't be hurt if someone knocked the nerd and coaches noggins together.... smiley_smash
Russell Hantz must be so embarrassed! Cochran sure did a fine job in making that choice in controlling his future! I'm kind'a hoping it goes to either the Cowboy or Ozzie....Cowboy just doesn't alienate ANYbody. Ozzie....sure does work hard....
Even if Cochran had not flipped, this is about as far as he would have made it anyway. He did good to last this long without adding any value or skills.
Albert said that Cowboy was about as "sharp as a bowling ball". Albert will be gunning for him now.
Coach's original "click" is tight. We will just have to see if someone stumbles and cuts their own throats.
Edna should be next and then the fun begins. Competition for immunity will be fierce. Who will get the first backstabbing or blindsiding?
A couple of survival rules in my survival book.
1) Never throw a challenge to get rid of a tribe member.
2) Never be a traitor to your own tribe to join another
3) Never talk bad about another survivor
4) Keep your mouth shut when you have the immunity idol
Cochran's gone, Cochran's gone, yeah rah, Cochran's gone. 8) 8) 8)
Take Albert to the finals. No way will the judges vote for him. Judges normally don't like lazy.
Now that Cochrans gone I'd like to see little Russell and Coach go next or maybe have an affair. :D
I like Ozzy's attitude about being on the island.
I'm hoping Ozzie or Cowboy will pull it off. I think most of tribe would also like to bring Brandon to the finals because no one will give him the million dollars.
Cowboy will have to win immunity after they vote off Edna or he'll be gone also because he would win the Jury over.

I agree Cowboy Rick had better pick up the pace...
Not a chance of it happening, but what if Coach, Ozzie and Cowboy made the final 3?
I am liking the finish of this season.
If Ozzie made it to the end, who could not vote for him? He is the ultimate survivor. I don't think he will make it, though. It would be a shame if Cochran beats him in the next Redemption island duel :-X.
Lets see what kind of challenge the duel is. This will tell a lot of how the producers manipulate things.
My thoughts exactly. Cochran beating Ozzie would create a stir, something the Producers would like.
Cochran won't beat Ozzy. There isn't a challenge they could rig to Cochran's advantage. Even if all they had to do was stand in front of a table with a puzzle, my money would be on Ozzy.
Unless they select the winner by the paleness of his skin, it just ain't gonna happen. :)
When he ends up on the Jury with his ex tribe mates the beatings will continue.

I can't believe you guys are dissin a geeky harvard law student. Poor guy....... :D :D
Cochran lied about his birthday. You can lie about your grandmother dying, but not your birthday. Some things are just over the limit.
Well, Ozzie strikes again! But....does Edna give him a run next week? Sure looks iffy.
What was Ozzie thinking with those choices???
Even Brandon's dad tried to explain proper thinking....to no avail. But I think Dad screwed things up with Coach....
And only a few more episodes.....then the horrid dry spell 'till February!
I could not believe that Brandon's Dad was trying to play the game himself. Looks like they picked the wrong Hantz to play this time. Should have picked Brandon's Dad. I did not respect that at all.
Well, Cochran came within a hair of winning the duel with Ozzie. Ozzie was really lucky this time. How many lives does he have? At least one more as Coach says that he will take Ozzie to the finals. Also, Coach has the idol, so he should make the final four at least unless he gets blindsided. Of course, they know that he has the idol and will probably be gunning for him. Brandon is the obvious choice next unless they turn on Coach.
If Brandon went to the end, could he win? I would never vote for him. Never.
Ozzie is being so slow and deliberate with his movements during the challenges. That almost cost him a win last night. Even though he is a good player, that tendency could cost him a shot at the win.
Bad choices for the reward IMO..
It appears the entire Hantz family is whacked. Shave Dad's head and that was Russell. I really enjoy it when they Kick in religion to justify what they do :(........ NOT
Still don't like Coach.
I liked Ozzy's comments, " You have a chance Cochran"
Then "he doesn't have a chance" ....
The tease made it look like Edna wins. If the Boob Tube runs true to form Ozzie pulls it off and wins again.
Cochran had the win.
Ozzie bragged about Cochran not having a chance. Usually the kiss of death. (Karma and all that stuff).
Captain, withdrawel is tough. :D :D
Looks like fun next episode.
I'm afraid everyone will want to bring Brandon to the end because they know the Jury will not give him the million. If that is the case, hopefully the producers will not bring that whack job back into my living room ever again in another season. :D
Whack job is right. That boy is disturbed. He is the type that scares me.
So.....it's coach, and Edna at the end.....and maybe one other....does it matter who? I'd vote for Edna. For no other reason than to NOT vote for coach. But....Coach did make his (supposed) honor promise to the Wizzard (called Ozzie). But he also made an 'honor' promise to Brandon. Although that was to bring him to the Final Four, I believe. Coach would do well to make sure Brandon is beside him. But NEVER the Wizzard! Ozzie has most of his tribe, and just might be able to convince enough from the other tribe to swing things his way. If it was the three of them, the votes would be between Wizzard and coach. Too bad for Ozzie....if only he were as good at strategy as he is at the day-to-day physical stuff, and challenges! The only way he can make it to the end is if he wins every challenge from now on....
You gotta be kiddin' me. ??? ???
Finally, the lunatic is gone. And by his own hand. Oh wait. He could still beat Ozzie!
Forrest Gump got it right. Stupid is as stupid does. :o
What ??? ??? ???
Hopefully he is done for by his own hand. That Immunity Necklace was stuck on Albert like glue :).
GEEEZ! How many times has it happened??!! EVERYtime that immunity is given away, that person is immediately voted off! Russel must be very embarrassed by now. But, of coarse, there IS the chance that Brandon might (dare I say it?) win and Ozzie lose the challenge. Interesting display in the whole Survivor series of the human psyche.
I had picked Sophie to win, but actually, I believe that if Ozzie makes it back, he deserves it because he is the best competitor and survivor.
It will be ok, God speaks to him..... Jeesch. He and coach really play the religion card, pretty disgusting even to me.
I liked the part when he said he would be the only gang member to show up to the big rumbles and would take a bullet or knife for other members..... Heck if he's the only one there who else they going to shoot....... Must have been a real hard core gang.
I would have not voted him off nobody would vote him the money, should have targeted Sophie or Rick.
Just to mess up everyone's plans, it would be interesting if Brandon beats Ozzie and Brandon wins the next immunity challenge. Just want to stir the pot and watch the bees buzz.

This comment is likely to stir the pot more than bit.
I have watched one episode of survivor in the First season. I have never ever experienced a stupider show. It is actually more entertaining to watch the people watching it.
Never has there been a more ridiculously stupid farce of a show on TV in human history. The single most accurate depiction of the condition to which American society has decayed.
I dont think there is a more effective method to insult ones intelligence than Survivor does.
One person walks away with a million bucks. The rest walk away with a "very expensive, all inclusive, LONGGGG, PAID Vacation, (including compensation equal to their monthly pay) AND when they are not filming they are in a minimum 5 ***** resort."
Takes about 6 months of working time (4 to 5 Days a week) to get the footage to cut out a seasons worth of the show and filming is generally done about 3 months+/- before it airs.
And that is REALITY TV. Or should we just call it show biz like it really is?
Hope I didn't burst your bubble.

All the above is pretty much true but I still like it. Heck most things I do are probably dumb. I bet I can find things you do I think is dumb but everyone's different.
I'm just a decaying dummy. ;D ;D ;D
Yes raiderbill you are 100% correct. We all do dumb things for sure. I just like to do "dumb" thing that cause me pain in later years of life. We call it "Shinny" here in this part of the world or "Pond hockey" and in my day we actually played on a pond even if it was -40. Equipment consisted of a stick, a pair of dull skates, a puck and 2 pair of rubber boots to mark the goal posts. No timer, no score keeper, and when it got too dark to see from day light the vehicle lights would work till we quit. I am still paying for that stupidity.
Now that is the cold reality of life on the prairies.
No, it is not Reality, it's just entertaining to watch what stupid things that they will do or say next. It's about the only TV that I watch. Most times, the Weather Channel is better.
Now just what is wrong with pure escapist entertainment? At times, I would rather watch "regular" folk rather than paid actors :D :D :D.
There are a lot of people that go to baseball, football, basketball, soccer etc and even Profession Wrestling games and matches.
Just leave me to my vice. :D :D :D

We used to do the same thing but instead of a pond we turned on a fire hydrant and let it flow all night or until someone called the Cops to shut it off. The next day we had a skate rink but nobody really had skates always turned into a "tackle hockey" game with sticks ;D. Good bruising fun!
Now a days I'm riding the bike or going to the Tennessee house to build or work in the woods for pleasure when time allows. Week nights I tend to have simple pleasures, I tinker on my bikes, or putz around the shop/house. Stopped a lot of the everyday hard riding, too banged up and fuzzy. .
Wednesday's I watch Survivor ;D
IMO I actually watch much dumber TV shows. The nightly news comes to mind.
Simple pleasures.
Looking back If Survivor is the worse I'm doing I maybe finally starting to grow up. :)
That's life on the Florida Suncoast. 8)

Exactly. Butt out.
I think Brandon is the only one that has a chance of beating Ozzy in a challenge. The way he handled that puzzle the other night, to win immunity, was amazing.
Having said that, Ozzy has really worked hard to stay in the game, and Brandon has been off putting to say the least.
I'm sorry I don't share ya'lls enthusiasm. I just don't like any reality type of show. Wife was into them for a while. The one she was watching had the guy running around in his birthday suite and some gal was spazing cause of him. I'd much rather spend my time on something like "Chip-Wrecked" with my Gdaughter.
I hope they do away with bringing in these former players into the game and have them head a team. They're at a distinct advantage and it just seems like they are going to be rewarded for their experience. Bring back the time when they were either all experienced (all stars) or all novices.
I'm still waiting for Survivor....Baffin Island.
I think they should have an episode of all the first ones voted off.

I did not mean to insult any one on here. Having said that i will say that my comment was intended as a push back on the insult that survivor is to all of us on here and to all the other people that live in north america.
I said, Butt OUT. No one asked you to read this thread. No one here insulted you, and you are telling us, because we are discussing something you dont like it is an insult? We enjoy the show, We could care less if you do or not.
There is a lot of great informative TV right now. :)
Survivor is one of my favorites even though some of the people on each series get on my nerves like Howard Cosell used to do. You run the gammit of suspense, scenerios, and drama. The real world is a whole lot similiar to Survivor than most may admit. The so called reality shows kinda get grouped all together unfairly with the Jersey Shore crowd. That's too bad.
What some consider Reality shows is more of an educational exposure to the real world for me.
Here are a few series where I learned about other businesses that I would have never had any knowledge of before. I hope this trend continues because in my opinion the decades of Police Shows were not any better.
Here is what is on my DVR.
SwampPeople, Gold Rush, Big Shrimpin', Mobsters, Moonshiners, Alaska State Troopers, Air Alaska, Weed Wars, How it's Made, Aerial America, BBQ Pit Masters, How The States Got Their Shapes, American Hoggers, Lizard Lick and Bear Swamp Recovery.
There are some more but my point is.
I learn something and get entertainment from all these so called reality shows.
You can't make up the characters on these shows. They are natural. :)
Air Alaska, I love that show. That Ariel Tweto's personality is great!

The single most accurate depiction of the condition to which American society has decayed.
Hope I didn't burst your bubble.
My bubble has been bursted :).

Bandmill Bandit, insults aren't necessary, and this thread was started for those people that enjoy Survivor and follow the program. If it offends you, please feel free to ignore it, as I will your opinion.
Well Said!
Anyone guessing the final 3? I am still for Ozzie, Coach and Cowboy. Probably not cowboy though. Most likely Sophie.
Soap operas I don't care for much , but this here is about as good as it gets. It does not air here so I need to go hunting on the net to get any info, you guys are better then that by a long shot, a bunch of hens in a coop. :D :D ;D
Coach [don't like him] Ozzie [got to give the guy credit] Cowboy/,Sophie that's a toss up but I think Sophie.
Tonight is the marathon conclusion of this season, and is on from 8 to 11!
My guess at the final three begins with Brandon beating Ozzy at the Redemption challenge. Brandon goes back in and he, Albert and Cowboy Rick form a majority and knock out Coach and Sophie. Based on these three remaining, Cowboy Rick wins. Ozzy will win the fans favorite reward.
Let the games begin! 8)
The final 3 are in. Didn't figure Albert at all.
Coach has played a masterful game. He gets my vote. The editors and producers have done a masterful job of setting out all kinds of red herrings, but Coach's body language gave it all away.
Time for the final arguments. A winner is not long in coming.
I watched only the last hour of the whole series thank goodness! Some girl won it; the coach got beat and put down as a double-crosser by most. Coach reminded me of one of my sargeants that would play us [our section crew] against one another so as he would always look good. Not good for comraderie. I'll stay with my old highschool football coach's motto, he, a Marine WW11 vet, survivor of Tarawa and other beaches, also he was a three-time purple heart recipient.....his motto.."All for one...and one for all! "

I had picked Sophie to win, but actually, I believe that if Ozzie makes it back, he deserves it because he is the best competitor and survivor.
Ozzie was the best, but he made some early mistakes that put him in the minority.
Sophie did good, played smart, stuck to her alliance like glue, never faltered, stayed the course doggedly, and was good in individual immunity challenges, winning three. She kept it simple and reneged on fewer promises.
Coach played a masterful game. He simply made too many promises that he could not keep.
Albert did not even deserve to be there. If was only because of a Brandon "moment".
Good going Sophie.
Russell Hantz is a real jerk the way he behaved last night.
