For my final thoughts on the season I wanted to make a post without reading anyone else's at first. For in the editing thread there is no right or wrong, and therefore I am not going to defend any of my thoughts or comments, as they are what they are. They are where the editing led me. The way I see this entire season is that it has always been either Ozzy or Coach.

From the very start it was Ozzy that spoke his quest, I need redemption. He is either going to get it or he's not. Coach didn't start off so well, but by the end of the first episode, he had things going quite smoothly.

The editing really had me favor a winner from the Savaii tribe. We all saw it. For that reason, I still feel like against all odds Ozzy may emerge as the winner. He's quite capable of it. His disappearance in the last episode gives me more validation that he may just make it. It lends doubt as to his chances.

So, at this point, I am still thinking Ozzy could pull it out, get redemption and win this season.

If Ozzy loses one duel or challenge, he's likely toast. We heard Sophie and Coach identify him as the most dangerous player left as all jurors must go through Ozzy's Pleasure Dome...but, if Ozzy gets out, then it is indeed Coach's game. Coach defined the game when he bonded with the Stargazer Five. He proved to them that the game could be won by 5 if they vowed to stay together to the end. He accomplished this. He parted with Cochran, Edna, and Brandon quite well....go to RI and win! He was the only one that hugged Brandon on the way out.

It was Coach that saved the Upolu 5 by bringing Cochran over....one can argue about the means, but when the day is done, it was up to Coach and HE delivered. Not Cochran, it was Coach.

So, for me, it's either Ozzy or Coach. I don't see either Albert or Sophie winning this game. I suppose if I had to pick either Albert or Sophie, I might pick Albert. He, in my opinion was far more open to each Savaii, heard their thoughts and ideas, presented those thought and ideas to the group, only to be shot down time and again. I think he was the most sympathetic to the other players in the game. Then, with Brandon, I thought Albert deserved credit for getting Brandon to give him his IN. He was the number one target that night, and he ended up getting the IN. I thought Albert deserved the credit. Brandon also told us he was his best friend in the game. Frankly, I just don't see either one of them winning....I don't think the editing has invested in them must at all.

The one loop hole for me is if all of the jurors just down right refuse to give it to a returning player. Which, I suppose could happen. But, I don't see it happening. So, whichever way it turns out, that's just what I saw through the season. Ozzy or Coach...it was their season, like it or not....
