"And the winner is?"

Posted by garyc on 12-18-11 at 09:36 AM
My guess is Ozzy makes it back into the game but loses one of the next two challenges and is voted out. Same for Albert and its either Coach or Sophie to win. Coach talks his way to victory at final TC, with help from the perception he was in charge all along.

Ozzy pretty much has it in the bag if he can continue his winning streak all the way to FTC.

Otherwise, it has been Coach's game, they really should have blindsided him before now, though we never saw anyone talk about voting out Coach. He is vulnerable because of his eccentricities.

Rick is a non-entity viewed by other players as having no game.

Albert's game continues to crumble and go nowhere.

Brandon could try holding himself up as a religious paragon of some sort. But he's young, not very smart or well read or thoughtful in any respect, he simply follows the examples he knows from life (or perhaps evangelical TV con artists).

Sophie keeps control of herself and speaks well, and her game is fairly strong heading into the finale, and she has stayed close to Coach and perhaps knows where the chinks are in his dragonslayer armor that she can exploit.

Us for watching such a terrible season where no one played the game.

What's particularly sad is that this season is a step up in that department, compared to what we sat through last season.


I think it's fair to say that this whole returning contestant thing needs to end, pronto.

I guess it's a matter of opinion because I prefered last season. Not much but at least we were shown someone hustling to win not like Sophie who did nothing all season long. Also, we had some cute women making it to the end last time. That always helps.

Ozzy makes his way back into the game and wins the first of two Immunity Challenges, so Rick is voted out.

Then Ozzy loses the final Immunity Challenge, and out he goes as nobody wants to face him at the final Tribal Council.

Nobody really respects Albert much except maybe Brandon, so he gets at most one vote from Brandon and comes in third.

Coach does not have Boston Rob's ability to backstab while still charming people, so he loses to Sophie in the end.

You called it right. I would've voted for Coach though. Even though he exploited the religious angle, it got him to the end. I felt really bad for Brandon at the reunion. Poor kid never stood a chance with that wacko family he was born into. My opinion of Cochran hasnt changed though. He is still a coward to me. I was really rooting for Ozzy ... glad to see he won Fan Fav.

DARN IT COACH! He blew it so bad. It was his game. All he had to do was say, that he was only one vote and he could only do so much. Everyone acted like it was Coach’s fault when they went home. He also should of said that stayed loyal to his alliances as long as he could. He could of said he did not want to vote out Rick, Edna, Cochran, and Brandon, but instead apologized. Him apologizing to everyone…did he not watch Boston Rob last season? You apologize all you are doing is admitting wrong. I so wanted Coach to win, but his jury showing was pathetic.

Also, OZZY’s speech at the end…at the jury…is exactly why I
never liked him. Every season he has gone home, rather than crediting those there he always slams them….acts like he has sour apples….telling them this time that no one on the jury wants to vote for any of them. Then to pat him on the back at the finale…by everyone saying they would of voted for Ozzy instead if he made it to the end. I guess I am in the minority for not liking Ozzy. I do bet that females like him more than males.

I think he did pretty well myself. He probably didn't have a chance so getting 3 votes isn't bad. The one that blew it was Albert. Funny hoiw he said he wouldn't be on the defense yet he kept having to dodge attacks.

I think Coach meant his answer that he tried to play honorably but couldn't pull it off. He lied to Cochran to gain a numbers advantage for Ulong, he lied to Edna and Rick and Brandon to keep their alliance together (and himself safe), he even lied to Ozzy just in case Ozzy kept winning IC's.
But it's not like he actually backstabbed his allies; the original Ulong five outlasted everyone except Ozzy, and the players that were shown doing the most strategizing with Coach during the season made the final three. There were no big surprises in the voting order; if you weren't original Ulong (Cochran) you went before Ulong; if you weren't part of the original alliance of five (Edna) you went before them. And Coach was never shown making a serious effort to use his conversations with Cochran or Edna or Rick or Brandon to vote out Sophie even though she had looked to be his only serious competition for weeks.
Maybe Coach's strategy focused too much on making final TC and not enough on winning the game.

It's easy when you read spoilers.

Very true, Michel. Very true.
