This is a thread called "Survivor the social game aspect - the Fall of the Savaii" so it fits in here.

You say Ozzy can stay calm and perform under pressure and that he's loyal to his tribe. He completely went ballistic at the end of that challenge a week ago. Nobody else did. He behaved as a jerk in Cook Islands during the second episode challenge and petulantly dumped Billy into the water just because he didn't like him. THAT is bullying. Ozzy intentionally threw the challenge rather than to keep Billy around, which isn't being completely loyal to his tribe (yes I know most of the others agreed to the plan, but Ozzy pushed it).

Ozzy bullied Cochran. It wasn't "vague" - it was clearly out in the open when Ozzy continued to rail against Cochran's performance in last week's IC later on at TC and again at Redemption Island. You say that Ozzy "saved" Cochran and volunteered to go to RI. Who in their right mind would willingly go to RI, tell me? I wouldn't. If sending Cochran to RI was the better game play for the tribe, then do it whether Cochran likes it or not. Keith didn't think it was a good move for Ozzy to go there.

Fine, I agree Cochran is the weakest player in the game, physically. So? Boot him, or keep him around to help with the votes. But that doesn't mean he deserves to be treated poorly or dumped on all the time. Plenty of useless challenge players have been kept around long into the game but never treated like a whipping boy. Thong Granny (Kim J) was useless in the challenges (at least until the final two ICs) and she didn't do much strategic-wise, but still made F2 in Africa.

And for what (little, I'm sure in your mind) it's worth, I don't like Cochran either. I don't think he's a good game player and I never thought he might be a winner of the game. I never thought of Ozzy as a winner either.
