Remove this ad Won't Sell My Soul Semhar is upset with her Savaii tribe and vows not to stoop to their level. "Being alone on Redemption Island has its ups and has its downs. It has its positive and it has its negatives. But anything is better than people who deceive you and people who lie to you and people who pretend to be your friend when they're not." (cut) "I decided to wear my buff inside out, because I don't feel so Savaii and I don't feel so team red. For now, I'm just gonna wear it inside out." (cut) "At the end of the day, if I'm the first to go home, or the last, no matter what, I will feel confident in how I played, because my soul's not for sale. I'm not going to lie for a million dollars and I'm not going to let a million dollars change who I am. A million dollars might make me do some crazy stuff like come out here <laughs>, but it's not gonna make me change who I am. I don't believe it's making anyone else change who they are. I think this game makes you reveal who you are, and I'm not a liar, and I'm not about to become one. I'm going to be confident no matter if I stay or leave, because my soul's not for sale. Not even for a million dollars." We Lost the Challenge Christine is not happy about losing the immunity/reward challenge. "Challenge started out well, but ended somewhat poorly. The guys tried and tried, I just didn't think they had quick enough feet. I don't think they <snaps fingers> moved quick enough. They were walking <rolls eyes> and I think they could've had quicker feet." (cut) "It looked like slow and steady, but slow and steady lost." (cut) "We lost the challenge today, and the reward. The reward was pillows and blankets and a mat so you could sleep on the bamboo. That was a big letdown. Now tonight we have to go to Tribal and vote somebody out, which is never good." What's For Dinner? Elyse reveals what's on the menu for the Savaii tribe's next meal. <scraping with machete> "So this piece of deliciousness is a taro root. You'll see I'm lovingly peeling it. We cook it in the pot with water and it turns into this really creepy looking purple stew, but it doesn't taste bad. In fact, we all kind of like it. And it lasts overnight, so it has some staying power. <looks at root> They kind of look like dolls. <laughs> Chop 'em up. But we were so thankful to have this this morning; we were so hungry. We're lucky to have it. It may not be filet mignon, but I'm happy now." (cut) "Ozzy went out and speared like half-a-dozen fish, and we've got them stored away in the icebox, AKA the banana leaves. I'm gonna cut up some more taro. It should be pretty satisfying." (cut) "We're gonna eat really good. It's gonna be a feast. We're gonna go back and tell the blue tribe we caught fish THIS big <extends hands> Liars." This is the Real Deal Brandon admits Survivor is tougher than he expected. "The fish that we caught sucked, to be honest with you. I'd much rather have had a burger, pizza. I'm not used to this stuff. I'm trying to pull through it. Everybody likes the fish to a certain extent, because we're hungry. I like to gnaw on this banana thing we found. It's got pretty good juice, and it's sweet. Other than that I'm starving." (cut) "Survivor definitely looks easier on TV, when you're eating a burrito or drinking a Coke. It does not look like it would be this intense. You don't get any more hungry than this unless you're in a bad - it makes me think about how much I have at home. It really does. It makes me realize what we take for granted for America on a daily basis. Somebody's having a little fish for their fricken' food, not even with the equipment we have. We have good equipment - we have a spear. I couldn't imagine killing a fish with a stick and then just eatin' it. This stuff sucks. It's beautiful but it's deadly out here, man. It just really sucks. Survivor's really hard. I enjoy the intense part about it, and I enjoy the feeling it gives you after knowing you have to go through 39 days of pain, because after that you get to go home. Realizing people don't always have that option after that 39th day, years and months that go by, it makes you look at what we have back home as a blessing." Tribal Council Magic Coach admits to both looking forward to and dreading Tribal Council "Not only am I a glutton for punishment - at the end of the challenge today, I was smiling. Not because we lost - I hate losing; as soon as we left, I was gutted inside. I know it sounds crazy, but I love going to Tribal Council, because that's where the magic happens. I don't want to go over and over again, but I love getting to Tribal, it's another segment of time where my mind is stimulated. Jeff likes to fence with me verbally. The last two times, Jeff's called on my because he knows I'm gonna tell him the truth. I'm excited because I like the verbal fencing, which is what I call it. But then reality set on me that we lost a challenge, and I was pissed off. But you gotta look on every defeat as something positive in it, and you've gotta look at every victory as there's something to improve." (cut) "This camp is full of amateurs. They'll be scrambling this way, talking this way, come over and make a private deal with me. It's just crazy. There's no need for that. Everybody needs to settle down. My alliance of six, as soon as I get back to camp, in front of everybody, I'm gonna get all the remaining five of my alliance, get 'em together, sit 'em down, and say, 'You're voting for this person,' 'You're voting for this person,' split the vote, and then revote and take somebody out in the counter-alliance. It's either gonna be Mikayla, Stacey, or Christine. One of those three." Savaii Treemail Savaii recast to news of the upcoming challenge. <Cochran begins reading treemail as everyone gathers around> Running in circles is a key part of this game It will have you thinking outside the box The only way to keep your tribe intact Is to be first to open the locks Cochran: So it's immunity. Mark: Oh God, again? It's so cool! Ozzy (solo): It looks like an immunity challenge today. We've already been to Tribal once. To go a second time in as many days would really put a damper on the spirit around here. I hope we win today. I hope we have a resounding win, and beat the socks off them. <they do a group chant of Savaii> Ozzy: We gotta put our game faces on. Get into game mode. Drink water if you need it. <Dawn gives Whitney some water she'd been drinking> Whitney (solo): The pressure is on. I'm excited about a challenge, because we could win immunity. I was doing some pushups. I don't know why. I guess it kind of gets the adrenaline going, ready for the challenge. It's good to be ready. <they head to the challenge>

(cut) "We came back to camp and everyone's spirits were so down and low." (cut) "I felt like absolute crap." (cut) "I guess this is my wake-up. Here I am, day 5, I've been grooving through this whole thing..." (cut) "And now it's like the game of Survivor just slaps me in the face, like, dude, man, I'm running the show, not you. It's kind of humbling." (cut) "Basically we get back to camp and it's time to scramble to see what we're gonna do for the vote tonight. I was working all types of scenarios in my head, trying to devise the best alternative for myself and my core 6 of Coach, Rick, Brandon, Sophie, Edna, and yours truly. " (cut) "The 6 of us right now are definitely controlling this tribe, and controlling the vote." (cut) "The outcome of the vote tonight is dependent on who we think is the biggest liability from a trust standpoint and who we think is gonna be the biggest benefit from a challenge standpoint." (cut) "The reason we can't just pick off who we want right now is the fear of the hidden immunity idol." (cut) "Because of that Idol factor, we have to split the vote, and we have to split the vote in a way where their 3 votes can't affect our core 6." (cut) "The way we think is this. If Stacey, Christine, and Mikayla try to throw their votes at one of the people in my core 6, we're gonna use our votes collectively to spread it to them. The way it's gonna work is Brandon, Coach, myself are going to be voting for one of them. That's 3. Sophie, Edna, and Rick will be voting for the other one. Their 3 will just get canceled out in the mix. When we re-vote, the 6 of us will just pick the person who doesn't have an idol, and we want out the most." Not Putting Up a Fuss Edna admits she was disappointed when she was chosen to sit out the challenge. "We're going to Tribal Council tonight because we lost the challenge today." (cut) "My tribe definitely perceives me as the weakest, because they automatically select me to sit out on the challenge. I'm not going to put up a fuss. If they think that will make the tribe stronger, I will do that." (cut) "Sitting out on a challenge is not where you wanna be, because you wanna be where the tribe is. You want to show them you can perform. Sitting out on the challenge is definitely not what I wanted, but Coach wanted me to sit out and I'll sit out for the team. It's a team sport at this point, a team game, and I'll do what's best for the team." (cut) "I feel terrible about going to the first Tribal Council. Obviously it would have been ideal if we'd won that challenge. We had a lead at the beginning and then we lost it." (cut) "I felt totally powerless on the side. (laughs) I was like, 'Go! Go!' That's not useful in any way." (cut) "I'm just being a good soldier, keeping my mouth shut, doing what I'm told, and hopefully I'll find one more day out here. <smiles>" Now It Gets Ugly Rick is not looking forward to his first Tribal Council "The rumor is that Christine's got the immunity idol. The bad part is we're kind of shooting for her. The bad part about that is Christine's a great person. She's the one that keeps the fire going; every night she's out with the fire. She's a hand; she's way handy. Now the sad part about losing, now the game starts. Now it starts to get ugly. We've all been friends for the last 5 days and we've all worked together, we've all helped each other. Now, yeah, now the bad part comes." (cut) "5 of us got together at the very first. Coach, Albert, Brandon, Sophie and myself got together. We were hooked up good, and it just fell together that we would try to be the 5." (cut) "I'm just hoping my alliance is good. I think it's good. I'm not too worried. I'm kind of worried, but not too worried, that they'll stab me in the back right off the bat. If they stab me in the back I WILL come back. When you go to Redemption, that's a wake-up call. A big hand slaps you in the head and says you better get it on." I'm Used to Leading Dawn reveals she has a strained relationship with Ozzy "I have 6 kids, and I work. I teach. I'm used to having almost every minute of my day spent busy. So it's really hard for me, because I want to keep doing something like the fishing or the shelter, but I think I'll step on Ozzy's toes. I don't know how to do that. I'm used to leading. This is really different. Bringing in the returning player, I don't see how I can be the leader. We're on a tribe where, in my opinion, they're aligned with Ozzy. He's gonna get them there, he's told them he will. I think most of them trust him, with a Plan B, but most of them are going with Ozzy as the Plan A. We'll stick with Ozzy. He's the strength and he knows so much about the game, I can see where that makes sense, even if you're planning on cutting him later, letting him go loose. I can see staying with him. I'm not sure why I'm not trying to, you know, 'OK, me too!' There's a part of me that really thinks Ozzy knows I'm more skeptical of how he's playing." (cut) "I would say my relationship with Ozzy is strained. I really appreciate how he helped me when I was struggling day 1, day 2. I think he's been honest with me as far as saying, 'You're not going home,' and he really meant it. 'You don't have to worry, you're strong, you're a part of the tribe'. I think he's mindful of me, too. I don't think he sees me as someone he'll be able to carry along and say, 'Do this, do that.' So he's not talking strategy with me. I tried to, to get a sense of how do you play, how are you playing? But from his perspective, I think he's thinking, 'If we can keep Dawn, great. If not, let's let her go,' because I think I probably stir the pot for him."

Posts: 21305 (09/23/11 08:04 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts	New Era for Cochran Cochran is working hard to change his image in the tribe. "After last night's Tribal Council, I think I earned the reputation as somehow somebody who doesn't work around camp or at least somebody who doesn't take the initiative in terms of working around camp. I'm trying to really change that reputation, even if it means schlepping out to the far end of the forest to get bamboo, or going to the watering hole a million times. I think people generally liked me even before last night's Tribal Council, but I didn't like the image somehow fostered at last night's Tribal Council. I really want this to be a new era for Cochran, one where I'm not viewed simply as a funny guy who says endearing, self-deprecating things. I want to be seen as a true asset to the tribe." (cut) "Theoretically, going out away from the camp and searching for bamboo and collecting water gives me the chance to search for the hidden immunity idol. At this point I'm not worried about it, because I don't need more suspicion cast on me. With my neurotic behavior at last night's Tribal Council, I already created a very suspicious persona. The last thing I need is people thinking I'm running around scrambling to look for the hidden immunity idol. All that shows is I'm concerned about being kicked off. I don't need that image of somebody who's always concerned they're going to be kicked off. Why would you want to be in an alliance with somebody who thinks they're gonna be kicked off all the time? I'm avoiding the hidden immunity idol. I don't care if somebody else gets it - I hope nobody else gets it, but it's not really on my priority list right now." Enjoying the Reward Papa Bear is sleeping much better since Savaii won the reward "Sleeping the first few nights, the first two nights, were miserable for me. Missing my family, missing my loved one. You don't know these people. There was one shelter first, and I couldn't sleep with them. Even though they're having a bonding period, I couldn't." (cut) "When we got back from the challenge..." (cut) "The reward we got, the mat, pillows, we put that down, and believe it or not..." (cut) "Now, with the pillow..." (cut) "I'm gonna go to sleep like a baby." (cut) "I've been sleeping with a coconut on the back of my head. Without realizing what a pillow can be like, I was in heaven with that coconut. Well, my friend, that coconut got thrown, I fell in love with a pillow. I asked everybody around me first, I didn't want them to think I was taking it. Everybody's feelings are at the edge. You don't wanna mess anybody up. They said, 'No, Papa Bear. Go to sleep.' I said thank you, put it there (back of head); within seconds - seconds - I was out. Felt good. Felt like a piece of home." Five Person Alliance Sophie gives details on her five person alliance with Coach, Albert, Rick, and Brandon "There's a 5-person group in the tribe, which involves all the guys and me." (cut) "You gotta work at each one separately, because since there's 5 people, you gotta make sure no one feels at the bottom. Albert and I feel pretty comfortable; we have like this little two-pact going on. Coach, I have a good bond with him. I didn't say explicitly, but he did say to me explicitly he'd like to me with me at the end. I'm good with Coach. Rick, he warmed up to me; in the beginning he wasn't really talking to me much, he was uneasy; it was Albert who threw him into the mix. Now every so often he'll come up to me and say, 'How are things going? Things looking good?' So Rick is totally in. He keeps saying, 'I'll be true to the end.' And who knows, but for now I think he's under wraps. Brandon I'm a little more worried about, only because as a person in general, he feels he needs to have a pair in the group. I feel like nobody's quite a pair yet. Then again, he's 19 years old, he's having a blast, so I'm not sure he's worried about it. I think I wanna tell Rick or somebody to make him feel like he's a top dog. We have a 5-person thing going on, and then I've been kind of branching out a bit, just cause I remember what happened with Shambo, when people made her so pissed, and she flopped when the merge came over. I talk to Edna a lot, not to get her in any alliance, but to make her feel comfortable with everybody. I've been lying to her a bit; I haven't told her that it's her and I, but I've been lying to her about the state of the tribe, as have a lot of people. I love Edna; she's hilarious." (cut) "She's also really serious about things. She seems pretty easy to manipulate. I don't know why, but I get this read on her that she believes everything you're telling her. She'll be great. Out of the 4 girls, other than me, we trust her the most." (cut) "I'm not too worried about keeping Stacey and Christine happy; I think they'll be the first 2 to go. Come the merge, I think Mikayla and Edna will be our best bets not to flip at first. I think they're the best bets to believe we're really all a group, and not just that we're all a group, but Mikayla thinks she's in with me and Albert, Edna thinks she's in with me. So long as they think they're up there, you can keep 'em around for a bit, and then toss 'em. I think we're in a good position." Best & Worst at Challenge Ozzy analyzes his tribe's performance at the immunity/reward challenge "I thought everyone did really well in the challenge. I was more surprised in Elyse than anyone." (cut) "Elyse was able to sort of step into a key position, literally. She was the one who operated the lock and key. She did it with poise and did it with grace. She did impress me. She impressed me that she actually stepped in and she wasn't worried about her ability.I thought that was pretty cool." (cut) "For me the challenge was great because I saw my tribe, the strong part of my tribe, come together really well. It also gave me an opportunity to see how people were working together, and who really is strong. Two things to say about that - Cochran is still our weakest link." (cut) "Cochran was able to pull through, but all he had to do was sort of run around a pole with his loop. You have to criss-cross over and under, over and under.It's not that difficult. I know he's nervous and he loves the game, but his own worst enemy is himself." (cut) "The bottom line is that in challenges so far, he hasn't been able to perform. It's the way it goes sometimes." Day 4 at Upolu Stacey provides an update on the status of her tribe. "Day 4. Today has been going well with the tribe. Everybody's kind of getting along. Everybody gets up early and it's hustle time. Feeding, looking for wood, fishing, gathering a lot of things together to keep ourself replenished and nourished for another challenge." (cut) "Eating for us in the tribe has been kind of little but slow, but we're eating.It's not a whole bunch. We get what we can get. We're eating it and drinking it. Water-wise and coconut-wise, we'll keeping ourselves electrolyed up with the coconuts." (cut) "Just the crabs we're eating. Everybody's not saying they're that hungry. That's good. You can fast without getting that hungry, hungry. You just keep yourself with water. Coconut drink, with water. So far we are doing very well. Sleeping-wise, personally for myself, I don't care for being inside. It's uncomfortable for me. I go outside by the fireside. It's very comfortable. I'm willing to keep up sticks to keep the fire going at night. I was comfortable. Someone else came out. Maybe tonight some others will try to come out tonight. The sand soothes you." (cut) "Everybody's getting along." (cut) "Everybody's been discussing what we need to do to pull our weight. We discuss a challenge who can do what, before we get there. You can do puzzles, you can swim, you can crawl, you can climb, you can tussle, that's for you. Step up to it. Don't get there and get all <stammers and fidgets>. We already discussed it. If we gonna stay strong that way, stay strong that way. If one gotta go, you can say what you can do, but we get here, and all the sudden you can't put up."

They make Brandon out to be a raving nutter on the show - whereas that little spiel would have made him some what redeeming. Means he doesn't win. Sophie is pretty damn strategic in her moves - again not being shown tells me she's not winning the game. Sophie is basically explaining my alliance strategy(and I'm sure most others) - how I would try to play it. Make sure nobody feels the bottom of the totem pole in the alliance. Make sure everybody thinks they're in an alliance within the alliance to keep them loyal. You have to look at the game assuming everybody will make the best decision for them personally based solely on their self-interest. If anybody feels excluded or first to go, then they're much more likely to bail first chance they see any potential for a better chance. In an alliance of five, you need to have two separate F3's and within the F3's you need to have F2's with everybody. Everybody needs to feel secure and that they have a path to the finals to keep them loyal. Also you need to be weak enough that they think they can beat you otherwise later in the game they'll start looking for other options.

It seems like she's simply on the outs of the alliance, doesn't know it, and is going to get booted 3rd from her tribe. But they're going to "blame" it, editing-wise, on creepy Brandon.

She's such a strong girl and she seems far more pleasant than I would have expected. I really think it will be shown as an Upolu mistake getting rid of her. All we've had to substantiate her boot is Brandon's justification - which seems like some bizarre fundamentalist tirade.

She's all second guessing that Ozzy won't talk strategy with her, and he's all "Now that Semhar is gone, Elyse is kind of cute." Albert thinks he has a six alliance, Wade thinks he has a six alliance, both counting Edna, presumably. Sophie thinks she has a five alliance, and is working Edna on the side.

We get back to camp, we lost the challenge, and we got a frickin' shark right here in the net. We find bananas, we find plantains. The best thing after a defeat is to get the team morale up. Our nets that were out allowed us to get shark and 2 crabs; we're feelin' pretty good right now. (cut) We're out in the middle of nowhere, it's like we're eating at the finest restaurant. If Coach were to go to a restaurant, mahi-mahi (a few other fish names), forget about it. This guy right here, shark, is my favorite meat. This is gonna be a feast tonight. This is the best thing - if youre out here in the wild, if you're savvy, if you got enough people that want to work. We're gonna have shark, we're gonna have crabs, we're gonna have plantains. It's the high life. It's like living the high life out here. I love it. This is my favorite kind of meat. I love shark. (cut) <Coach in the water> I think I'm gonna catch me another shark. Put this in the net - no sense in wasting good bait - put this over in the net. <kisses the shark's head> Hopefully another one of these guys will surface.
