14. "RE: Survivor Recap?"
You, of course, couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The killing the chicken scene could only be considered "bullying" if, in fact, John told the others he was a PETA supporter (and in that case, he should have refused to eat any chicken or fish -- he can't have it both ways). We don't know that he did tell them that as he only told us that he kinda was in a confessional (and not really very forcefully or believably -- I noted his leather belt). Unlike, say, Coach who, after Mikayla told him she was sick from all the pork, fried up some pork fat, ate it & pretended to throw up just to make her sick.

And there was plenty of talk about how much the others liked John -- so even if that "bullying train" hadn't already left the station with the Jim & Keith post-boot interviews, it certainly wasn't revived tonight by any alleged (imagined) "forcing" him to sleep without a blanket (on Survivor! without a blanket! OMFG how could they!) when Ozzy & Jim were both shown, repeatedly, sleeping on the ground without blankets.

And if you missed the irony of Coach naming Ozzy "Narcissus" while he named himself "Zeus," I can't help you. Coach's comment that it was no wonder Ozzy "hadn't won Survivor before" was also dripping with irony. Can you guess how? (hint, in both cases Coach is projecting).

The recap wasn't good for Ozzy if you believe Coach, I mean, ZEUS, who had all the negative things to say about him, because despite all his criticism of Ozzy, Te Tuna is starving without him. Yeah, Ozzy wanted to be selfish about feeding former Upolu, but Dawn talked sense into him & he shared -- his thinking about it isn't the same as his doing it like he did on Cook Islands. Plus, he's going to share with his competitors on RI (the new, improved Ozzy). Brandon calling Ozzy rude? Again, irony.

The whole reminding everyone of "selfish Ozzy" was just throwing doubt on his eventual return from RI (and most likely win) after the OTT positive edit he's gotten the last 2 episodes.* The most significant thing in the recap (besides showing, once & for all, that neither Coach nor John -- he feels the "dragon blood" seeping into his pores & totally bought into Coach naming him Hercules -- is winning this thing) was the shot of the Ozzy stand-in right after the beginning summary of the season so far & right before the opening credits -- the Ozzy stand in (same build, same hair, same swim suit) is on a cliff with a wave crashing around him holding a lit torch over his head.

*Yes, I know the Sophie supporters are going to say the recap was "good" for her, but it was, at best, neutral towards her. Sure, it reminded us she was "there" but the recap didn't show her in anything more than a narrator role still about what other people were doing nor did it even bother to mention her 2 back to back IC wins. She's still the only possible one that can pull an upset win, but she'd still be the worst edited "winner" in the show's history.
