Didn't want to muck up the Georgianna thread with discussion and speculation, and wasn't sure if it was OK to post this in the episode 7 boot thread as I have been away from the board for a long time until this season. So I started this thread to discuss whatever we wanted to in regard to the Trojan Horse plan and how it plays out/affects the future.

Maxx says: that Christine wins RI challenge, Cochran indeed blows the challenge for the tribe and sends Savaii to TC. Ozzy volunteers to go to RI so that he can beat Christine and will trash Savaii to the Upolu's who watch the duel and say that he already was forced to play his idol and that he finally got booted out. Meanwhile he has left his idol with Cochran for safe keeping.

Isn't everybody invited to the final redemption island duel? If so, then he is saying to every Upolu in front of every Savaii that he has no idol and that he hates Savaii and vows revenge.

But where the plan goes even deeper is in this clue from Maxx:

I leave you with this my reluctant volunteers, does this seem like an overly complicated plan to anyone else? It seems like a lot could go wrong, but I’m not playing and I’m watching from the outside so it’s easy for me to judge. One more thing to throw out there, one of the Savaii has a job. They have to pretend to flip to get information out of Upolu. I leave the identity for you to speculate.

Because Cochran does such a bad job at this week's challenge and has a track record of being weak in challenge's I would say it is him that gets the acting job, and why wouldn't Upolu believe it? He has got to be considered the weakest of Savaii and on the chopping block and it would be believable that they would be looking to flip at merge in much the same way as Upolu is worried about Edna flipping.

This makes the plan even more brilliant. If the Upolu are skeptical of Ozzy at the merge they will be bolstered by the mole Cochran and his ability to gain information while planting seeds in their heads.

This is going to make for some very interesting thunder and lightening at the merge and after!

I'm not sure who came first hosting games, you or Tribe, but you are both nefarious! - CTGirl
