I meant "mad" as in angry, not "mad" as in insane. (chuckles a bit.) And I think we were both frustrated with what we perceived as unfair prejudice against someone else.

I just read an article on Reality News Online which might help explain the problem here: Keith, Ozzy, Jim, Whitney and even Dawn indeed might have been perfectly pleasant to Cochran. But people aren't great actors when it comes to controlling their emotions, and it was clear to Cochran that they didn't like him. Regardless of their efforts to pretend to be nice, the true feelings of most of Savaii were clear to him.

The basic problem seems to be a personality or values clash. Most of Savaii are challenge junkies. Cochran ... isn't. He's more of a strategy junkie. It's kind of like what happened on Sook Jai with Shii Ann. Most of the people might have been perfectly nice to her but Shii Ann was probably different from people like Penny and Erin and Penny might have been unable to conceal the fact that she didn't like Shii Ann. This made Shii Ann vulnerable to offers from Chuay Gahn, whom she probably felt closer to. Sook Jai paid the price there, aided in part by a fake merge, and the same thing will happen here.
