Here's more of Jim and Keith giving Coach credit for flipping Cochran. Also interesting that Cochran supposedly had F3 deals with everyone on his own tribe.Last night Coach talked about "Survivor 101," about how you should always make the lowest person on the totem pole feel the safest. Do you think that's what happened with Cochran, and do you have any regrets on how you may have handled him?
Jim: Pre-merge I would agree that he was definitely the lowest on the totem pole. Post-merge though, it was the opposite...nobody had more Final 3 deals than Cochran. Everybody down to Dawn had Final 3 plans with Cochran. I do think that was a big mistake though, we should have gone into the merge strong like Upolu did.
Keith: Cochran just got put under Coach's Dragon Slayer spell, and for someone who's such a fan of the game, and knows all the strategies, to be so stupid and make such a stupid move, just didn't make sense in my eyes.
