PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Well, Dawn thought he was treated badly by the tribe. Cochran thought he was treated badly. There were there; we weren't. I'll go with their assessments of the situation over yours.
My question was "What did he do to deserve bullying?" Your answer seems to indicate it's okay to bully someone who loses a challenge for the team. I disagree. As for flipping, a) it wasn't a perfectly good plan - it was one that could have lead to Cochran getting booted and b) he did that after so it doesn't relate to my question anyway.
It wasn't an easy move at all. He knew the fall out would be pretty bad, but he made a courageous move to get further in the game.
From the Insider, we learn that he made a final four deal with Albert, Sophie and Coach. No one on his tribe made him such a deal. Will they stick to the deal? Who knows? But why risk going out in 12th place and at best ending up 6th place when you can ensure that you stick around for three more days and potentially get 4th place?
He's not a hero or a villain - I agree with that. But I don't need my Survivor winners to be one of those two things. I want them to be good game players. Cochran hasn't always made the best moves, but this was definitely the best move he had at this stage of the game.
