Survivor: South Pacific

[Host Lex]

For discussion!

Whats everyones thoughts on the new season? I loved the latest episode. Cochran's move/the fallout of that will be great to watch.

[Elyse Mmmmemoto]

uggh I was cheering for savaii (even though they booted me) so I was really mad that he flipped. i hope he goes next...

[John Carroll]

I am rooting for Keith and Whitney those are my 2 favorites but then there was thaat little bit of hope in me wanting the plan of Cochran to work cause I wanted to see how Savaii would react but I dont like it that Keith is now out

[Judd Sergeant]

Jim

I mean yes, it was a good move, but he played it at the wrong time. You'd think as a watcher of the show he should realize 2 things:

1. He will not make the end and will get 6th unless he goes on an immunity run which he is not capable of. He is lucky people like Coach and Brandon will stick him to their word and make him the last remaining Savaii because if they weren't like that Cochran would definitely be leaving next haha (Remember Candice on HvsV, Cochran??)

2. Even if he makes the end, which won't happen, he screwed over all his former tribe mates who would not vote for him.

But Savaii was stupid, especially Keith, for being so rude to him especially knowing they'd need him in the future of the game. But I guess that's what they get but I would have liked Cochran to wait for a more opportune moment because I think he could have done it and not come out to his fellow cast members as a huge villain.

[Mikayla Wingle]

I agree with Judd it was the right move. Just a few rounds to soon. I'd of waited a while. Cause had he waited Dawn would of joined him I'm sure and then they could of possibly found the bottom of upolu and made a f4 deal or something. Also had Ozzy been smart he would of given the idol to Cochran to make him feel safe and avoid his flipping. I feel that could of potentially helped keep Cochran on their side that round

[Judd Sergeant]

I think they thought no one would flip and even though they kept pressuring Cochran and when they would ask "Are we good?" they aimed it at Cochran and Cochran only...so they didn't trust him not to flip. They just gave bad signs.
But they were hoping to pick the right person with the idol and if they didn't get it they would just increase their odds. They know Upolu wanted Cochran with them and wouldn't vote for him so they thought it would be a waste of an idol. Which makes sense because no one wants to throw away an idol like that and use it simply to keep someone loyal who you think might flip later anyways.

It was just a mess.

[Brandon Johnson]

I am proud of Brandon Johnson has been playing

[Mikayla Wingle]

Yeah I have to say even though I like Ozzys tribe. The guys on that team were so rude to Cochran they had it coming.

[Alex "Graham Cracker" Bell]

I agree with everything Judd said.

He probably wouldn't have flipped, but they have been rude to him for the first half of the game. Was it too soon? Absolutely. However, sometimes the emotions get the best of you and I think that's what happened.

On the same note, I thought it was INCREDIBLY dumb for Ozzy to play the idol. Yes, it was a gamble no matter what but now the idol is going to go back in hiding and old Upolu has a chance to have 2 idols on their side, to further fuck up old Savaii's plan.

I think it's a little unfair to compare Candice and Cochran because the situations are different. First off, Candice was playing with people who she has played with before. More importantly though, that really was the best time for her to flip, especially with her sinking ship of an alliance. She just did it really poorly, lol. Not to say Cochran necessarily did it better, he just did it too soon.

I'm hoping that like Brandon, Edna, Cochran and Dawn pull out some magic and make it to the end, though I still do hope Jim wins, lol

[Judd Sergeant]

Brandon won't flip.
He'll go down with his alliance.
Won't think they will vote him out, even if it's a better move for him he will be held by his word and won't flop. Especially on Coach I wouldn't think.

[Alex "Graham Cracker" Bell]

He absolutely will. And even if Brandon did make a side alliance, he'd just go right back to Coach and tell him everything he did. It seems that he's trying to play so far away from Russell's game, which he is, that's he just playing poorly.

I don't mind Coach and I like Sophie, but I really hate Albert. I don't know why.... I just do.

[Judd Sergeant]

I'm actually surprised by coach this season...but overall I'm not a very big Upolu fan.

Rick, who was the fan favorite, has gotten like ONE confessional.
I was excited for Brandon to come on, he talked about how he isn't against backstabbing and how it's part of the game....then he comes on the show and just cries and like you said plays absolutely poorly. He's been a let down.
I don't like Albert and I really don't like Sophie too much either.

I think Coach thinks he has the game in the bag but there's no way he's making it to the end haha

[Candice Woodcock]

I know this is the unpopular opinion, but I think Cochran kinda inflicted the nastiness on himself. He's just so socially awkward and so unbearable that I don't think I'll particularly be too nice to him if I were stuck on an island. I think him flipping was kinda stupid, and it will lead to much deserved nastiness. I'm kind of excited to see Whitney, Jim, and Ozzy trash him.

Is that awful?

[Host Lex]

If Coach/Albert/Sophie make the F5 with Cochran/Dawn then I'll be extremely happy. Though I love Jim too.

That scene between Dawn and Cochran last week was great, the one where Dawn broke down about not sticking up for Cochran. Made me feel bad for Cochran quite a bit. I wanna see him and Dawn work together real bad

[Andrea Boehlke]

I don't know, I love the season, I think it's better then last and it's so unpredictable, however, I'm too fond of the cast. I wish last season's cast were in this season. (Well last season's cast with Ozzy and Coach, I mean. lol)
