While we're on the subject of a social game...I hate to say this, but Coach is actually doing a pretty impressive job when it comes to social/persuasive skills this season -- especially when you consider his less than warm welcome in Ep. 1 vs. all the good will that Ozzy had at the start. Just a few examples: Getting his enemies voted out first...Convincing Rick to side with him on the Mikayla vote.....making Edna feel she's invaluable....managing Brandon....manipulating Cochran's intellectual ego and finding his hot button this past episode. I also think that Sophie's doing a masterful job of managing all the various personalities on her team. Right now, you have to like those two's chances to go far....which I guess supports the argument that a good social game typically trumps challenge strength.

Re the Ozzy and Cochran discussion: Can't we all agree to disagree? I think there's room here for everyone's opinions.

In hindsight, the scene where Ozzy was hanging in the hammock with his girlfriend and mockingly asked Cochran how to spell his name (implying he was going to vote him out next) should have been a tipoff how their 2 fates were intertwined. It's almost Shakespearean in the way it's worked out.

That's why I love KOB's spec that the two meet up again on RI... I think the majority of fans out there are hoping that Ozzy kicks the weasel's butt!
