Mikayla: It's so much noisier over here. Christine: Oh, yeah. It's crazy. You think New York City's bad. Mikayla: It may not be gunshots, and police sirens, and trains, but... Christine (solo): ...to have Mikayla here this morning, because I was showing her around. I showed her the Polynesian chestnuts, and they were very, very high. Christine: The pure green ones that are ALL THE WAY UP THERE are good. Mikayla: I'll get one down. It might take me a few. This isn't my... <she begins throwing rocks at the tree branches, and finally begins pulling them down to get to the chestnuts> Christine (solo): Mikayla, being the physical person that she is, started pulling down the tree. And we got a few down. Then again, when she pulled down that branch, I thought, yep, she is definitely a physically strong person. If the duel has anything to do with physical strength, I have to dig really deep to bring it. <they debate over which chestnuts to bring back> Mikayla (solo): Coming to Redemption Island has been a bit of a breath of fresh air, I guess you could say. Me and Christine, we did connect. But I'm going into the duel focused. I'm not exactly intimidated by Christine. She has won 4, but I'm younger, and stronger, and I think I'm faster if it's something that's physical. I would think I had the upper hand at this point, but I don't want to be looked at as a failure. <walking back to their shelter> Christine: These are honest-to-goodness delicious when they're boiled. Mikayla: Oh really? The Duel Was Intense Christine reveals how nerve wracking the duel with Mikayla was for her. "The duel was very intense against Mikayla. It was nerve-wracking. I really had to focus. It went to the last second. " (cut) "Not only was the audience cheering for Mikayla, they were helping her. They were telling her which boards to go next. So she just had to run and say, 'OK, the one next to your foot.' She just picked it up and put it on. So..." (cut) "When it was happening, it was a little annoying, but then, when I won, I was kind of happy that even with..." (cut) "...people helping, I still won." (cut) "Albert and Sophie were a lot closer to Mikayla than they were to me. So I almost expected them..." (cut) "...to help her more than myself." (cut) "They clearly did not want me to win at all. So when the merge happens, or when I go back into the game, I'm still a free agent. I'm not going to definitively decide Savaii or Upolo. I have to see where I fit the best, what's the best for me." (cut) "Whichever side will get me further in the game is my strategy. I'm going to go in and just listen to what people have to say, and take with me all the information that the people who have passed through here have given me, take all that into consideration, and then make my decision." Mikayla: The Day After Mikayla reflects on her time in the game the day after she lost the duel on Redemption Island. "What I learned about myself here is I'm a very strong woman, and it definitely intimidates, I think." (cut) "Brandon from the beginning was intimidated by me, didn't think he could trust me. He's definitely not used to having a powerful woman around. He's talked about his wife and she's a very yes, whatever you say, passive woman. Me, nuh-uh. If I don't like the way something sounds...he did not like that. And also Coach. Coach noticed that I had an opinion, just like Christine and Stacey, and he did not want it." (cut) "I wasn't gonna fall for it, and that's definitely a reason why I'm gone." (cut) "From the beginning, the survival aspect was hard for me. Once you get over the hump about not eating, you only get so much at the beginning of the day. You get a banana, you get this and that. Once I got over that, it became the social part. If you talk too much to too many people, and people are looking at you like, 'Oh no, are they trying to figure an alliance out?' Then if you don't talk to too many people, they're like, 'Well, she's not talking to me. She must not be on my side, or not like me.' You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. The social part got to me. At home, if I don't like somebody, I just don't talk to them. Why waste your time with someone you don't like? Being out here, there's people I don't like, and having to talk to them, was like stabbing myself in the eye trying to make conversation." (cut) "My favorite part of the game that I actually remember - there was actually two moments. Our first challenge, the basketball thing. It took me a couple of times to get the hang of it, those coconuts were heavy, and I was trying to shoot them like a basketball. I was like, 'I'm gonna have to throw them.' Once I got to throwing them, our thing was just teetering, and I hit the chain with a coconut. It went down, and I saw a flag go up, and I'm like, holy crap, we just won. We just won the first team challenge. I remember turning around and seeing Stacey in mid-air, come up, and tackle me. We are in it. We are in it. I get chills thinking about that. Just seeing her face, their mouths open, screaming, coming at me. Also, the other challenge when we had to take the surfboards and run down. I remember Coach and Edna were up there and they were placing parts of the mask together, and all the sudden I was pulling the last part, trying to figure which way to go next, and I just hear screaming, and I hear Jeff saying, 'Upolo,' and I'm like, 'We just won.' I had no idea we'd won. Everybody's just coming in and I'm like, 'We won.' I wasn't expecting it, I thought we had more to do. Once I started putting the holes through I was like <screams>. It was great. It was an amazing moment. We did it, we won. Let's go." (cut) "I am so happy with the way I played the game. I never gave in to being a follower. I always stuck to my guns. Obviously I didn't do enough, stay in and kiss people's butts. I don't kiss people's butts, I do not give in, and I'm not a follower. I kept to my morals, I stuck my ground, and love me or hate me, this is who I am. I'm not gonna give into your BS, I'm not gonna believe it, or pretend I do. I just feel..." (cut) "People are intimidated by women who know what they want and what they believe in. We're not stupid. Some of us are, and they want to ride coattails all the way to the end, but nobody's gonna give you a million dollars because you never did anything, you never even stuck to your guns, you never even had a voice. If I didn't like something, I talked about it." (cut) "I know what I want, and coming out of this, I'm so determined. I'm not gonna - if I want something, I'm gonna go for it. If I can get through this, with no food, barely enough even energy to get me by, where if I stand up, I black out. I have all these great tools at home to make something so great. Don't let it fly by. You're only young once, and I'd hate to be older and think why didn't I do that. I'm never going to regret anything I've done, and I'm just so happy that I played the way my family said. 'You're always going to be a leader, don't give into that BS and be a follower.' So I'm very happy.

"The challenge seemed like something right up our alley. We did really well, until the last leg, when calamity struck, and Cochran blew it, basically. Something as simple and elemental as unclipping a couple, pushing them aside, and clipping in Whitney and I, he couldn't handle it. I don't know what the hell happened; obviously I was blindfolded, so I couldn't see what happened, but somehow, he couldn't complete the simplest task, which is unclipping, and reclipping." (cut) "They won the challenge. All because one person couldn't unclip and reclip a stupid clip." (cut) "Because Cochran is like a little child out here when it comes to the challenges. He freezes up. He can't perform. Something happens. It's a mental block. He's doing it in his mind but his body just freezes. He's like <does a frozen imitation> like a fricken' CD skipping. It cost us the challenge, and it's a shame, cause we could have won that challenge very easily. I already had a strategy for how to do the maps. I know how the Survivor game works. Obviously two masks are gonna be in the same pouch. The two masks will go separate. It was almost done. If I had had literally 20 more seconds I would have been able to complete that puzzle. But we didn't have 20 seconds, because somebody blew it for us. It took me an astronomical amount of time to complete that last leg, because I was fighting the rope the whole way there. It was dragging. For me, this is one of the hardest losses we've had, just because we should have been able to do it, and because one person dropped the ball, the whole tribe has to suffer." It Felt Horrible Cochran admits to being ostracized after messing up in the challenge. "At the immunity/reward challenge, I was given the task of clipping and unclipping the blindfolded obstacle course runners when they returned and left the station where the callers were standing, which were Jim and me. At one point in the challenge, Dawn and Keith returned with their puzzle masks, and they were kind of tangled up around the next. Dawn was on one side, Keith was on the other. I was in the weird position of having to first kind of reorient them before I was able to unclip them. But reorienting them meant I had to lift Dawn over the net or lift Keith over the net, and I wasn't confident in my ability to do that. I kind of panicked for a second, gestured Jim to have Jim help me out in untangling them. By that point Dawn and Keith had gotten so tangled, it was really a mess, it was unclear what Dawn and Keith had to do. Dawn and Keith can't see anything because they're blindfolded. It was down to Jim and me." (cut) "There was a lot of anxiety about how to get them untangled from the net. In the process, when they finally were untangled..." (cut) "We had a lead going into that leg of the challenge, but when they came back, we lost, unfortunately. I felt horrible, because it clearly came down to some issue with the rope. Even though I wasn't physically the person who latched on the clip improperly, that was my responsibility, and the blame fell on me. People were cursing at me, they were screaming at me, they turned away from me. I was terrified." (cut) "I went into my flight mode, retreated into my shell, and waited for the whole ordeal to be over." (cut) "I've always felt like an outcast on my tribe, but this was a new level of ostracism. No one would look at me. They were all patting each other on the back, 'Look Dawn, you did a great job.' 'Whitney, you did an awesome job.' 'Keith and Ozzy, fantastic job.' 'Jim, great job calling.' Still kind of angry, but, I didn't even exist at that point. I was standing behind them, clearly upset. It wasn't like I was not remorseful for my actions, or my mistake, but I was nonexistent at that point. It felt horrible. Even though I am kind of a nerdy outcast, I've always prided myself on being able to fit in with everybody and get along with everybody. This was the first time that I felt like I was legitimately hated by everybody on my tribe. They didn't want to look at me or acknowledge my existence. It felt horrible. I really did feel like crying. But I stayed as strong as I could and put up with it." It Was Miserable Dawn reveals how awful she and her tribe felt after losing the challenge. "So we had a challenge for immunity and reward. The reward was the winning tribe would get to have an evening away from the game and see a sneak peek of the movie Jack and Jill, with Adam Sandler, who I love, and have all the movie treats and popcorn and candy and hot dogs that go with it. And not have to go to Tribal Council, which was the best part of the reward." (cut) "We left that challenge, that was probably - I mean, this game is crazy. 12 hours before, highest high I've ever felt. Sliding on rocks and getting to know everybody, I really have a newfound appreciation for Ozzy and how we'd done that last challenge. So high. 12 hours later, the tempers and the frustration, and you could see all the energy we put into winning, being deflated. It's like a champagne bottle, when you win, you just pop. You feel so good. Not only that you won, but to know you're going to be in the game still. It was everything in reverse. It was awful. Everyone. You could see immediately. We almost took steps apart from each other. That's what I felt like. I felt like the group distanced themselves as we were answering questions from Jeff about what happened. We were at least 3 or 4 feet away another tribe member, and trying to regroup. It was miserable, and it meant someone was going home. We lost our lead. We could have won that. We could have gone into, hopefully, a merge, with more numbers than Opulu." (cut) "Walking back into camp after losing was probably the most angry I've felt. I know this was a team loss, like it's a team win when we win, but because I was blindfolded, the whole time I kept hearing Cochran's voice fumbling, so I think I was raging. Normally we're his eyes, because he fumbles a lot when we're in the challenges, like, 'I can't untie the knot.' Usually we're there to talk him through or to step in. And we couldn't. I think that might be why I was more frustrated, because I felt like we were depending on two people's eyes, and that's it." (cut) "We got back to camp, and everybody was still...I would say, probably angry. Cochran went over by the fire; we're always trying to keep that fire going. No one was saying anything. Ozzy started working on the fire, Jim and I started putting kindling on it. That's when Cochran said, I'll take responsibility if someone wants to vent. You can yell at me, tell me what you're mad about. I cried the whole trip home, getting back to camp. I feel horrible, it's all my fault, tell me what you want me to do. Ozzy did vent. He's got a lot of competition in him, and I think for Ozzy, losing is just never really an option. He had a hard time calming down after our loss. He really let Cochran know how frustrated he was and that he held him responsible." (cut) "At that point we started talking about team strategy and where we lie as a tribe. Are we going to try to stay unified and try to kick on, which is what we've been doing every time. It's been so close. Win. Lose. Win. Lose. I think this to me is an example of where the tribe really comes together in a game like this. I realize there's a sole survivor, but this is an example where maybe doing this together and making this decision about who the next to go, that may really benefit us and keep us in the game." Ozzy Better Win Cochran is so grateful to Ozzy for volunteering to go to Redemption Island "If Ozzy does go through with this and really saves me - he would be saving me - I don't see myself backstabbing him anytime soon, unless he does something absolutely insane in the future. I really do sincerely appreciate him doing this. I know it's not for me, I know it's for the tribe, but it does directly benefit me. I'll probably, at least for the next several votes, vote however he wants. I'll feed him any information he wants. I'll be a good guy. I'm not that sinister. I love this game, but I'm not going to play an evil game. When someone respects me and helps me out, I'm more than happy to reciprocate." (cut) "One scenario that's running through my mind and making me worry is that even if Ozzy does go through with this plan and agree to be sent to Redemption Island, in the unlikely event he does lose, I know my tribe's going to hate my guts. Even though I had nothing to do with this plan, I didn't suggest it, I didn't even encourage him that strongly, I know for whatever reason they're going to be furious because they're going to view me as the reason Ozzy was kicked off, because I couldn't fasten the clip properly. So there's only one possible good way this could end, which is Ozzy winning the challenge. If he loses, Savaii's gonna hate my guts. If I get sent to Redemption Island, I'm gonna lose and go home, and Savaii's gonna lose, so that would be horrible. Ozzy better just win tomorrow or else I'm going to feel even more ostracized probably than even after losing that last challenge." I'm Not Happy Keith is disappointed that Cochran is not going to Redemption Island "I'm not happy about today's vote. I think Cochran deserves to go to Redemption Island. I've kind of made my peace with it. I've told everyone that I don't think it's fair Ozzy goes. It's maybe the better move, but to let somebody else fight your battles for me is not the way I live my life, and I think Cochran is kind of backing down from the challenge. I wouldn't want America to see me that way. We'll see how the polls come out on Cochran's favor after backing down and letting someone else basically go to Redemption for him." (cut) "It's a pretty crazy play for Ozzy to go to Redemption Island. It's good because he's got confident himself and he believes he can win. If it came down to it, I would go too. I wouldn't really want to, and I guess he feels the exact same way, that he doesn't really want to, but it's a smart play if he wins. That's the key - if he wins. If he doesn't win, he's out of the game, and loses a million dollars." (cut) "Ozzy stepping up like this is huge. It shows that maybe I did misjudge him a little bit at the start. I thought he was playing definitely a strategic game, and he was going to get me out as soon as he could. But him going to Redemption, it definitely proves that he's a lot more trustworthy than I gave him. I had to play my way because I didn't wanna get blindsided, but for him to step up and say, hey, for the good of the team, I'm going to step up, I'm going to go to Redemption, I"m gonna win, and I'm going to come back for us, shows that I think I can trust him all the way to the end." Fingers Crossed Cochran hopes that Ozzy will be true to his word <Ozzy cooks> Cochran: I want you to be happy with the decision. Ozzy: I am. I came out here to do something special; this is it. Let's face it - I've got a huge target on my back. If I don't do something big, if I don't do something bold, then it's gonna be hard for me to make it to the end, and even if I do, people are gonna have a hard time voting for me. Cochran: I'm 100% committed. Cochran (solo): I'm hoping against hope that Ozzy does what he says he's going to do, and that tonight at Tribal he says to everybody, "Look, I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the tribe because I have a better shot at winning against Christine than Cochran does." If he does that, I don't really care whether he wins and comes back, I just want to survive another night. But it would be fantastic if he did come back, and the Savaii 6 remained strong, and went to the merge, which is hopefully tomorrow or sometime soon, with even numbers. I've just gotta keep my fingers crossed, that all goes as I hope it will.

So when the merge happens, or when I go back into the game, I'm still a free agent. I'm not going to definitively decide Savaii or Upolo. I have to see where I fit the best, what's the best for me." (cut) "Whichever side will get me further in the game is my strategy. I'm going to go in and just listen to what people have to say, and take with me all the information that the people who have passed through here have given me, take all that into consideration, and then make my decision." I think that's our next episode. Hopefully there are scenes coming about the decision to leave the idol with Cochran.

"I have to say that was a really exciting feeling to participate as one of the team members. I think people underestimated me. Yesterday was was my opportunity to say you guys made some mistakes early on, you could have let me participate in the challenges. Now we can't go back and change the events in the past, but moving forward, you know I can perform." (cut) "It was a very proud feeling for me, and it gave me a moment to shine, when everybody else had their moment the first five challenges, this was really an opportunity to be a key team player when this challenge was so close. That feeling Ozzy was saying about it's within your grasp and falls out of your hand, that was probably really hard for them to witness and be a participant of. But this whole entire game, every single challenge has been so close, that little things like Cochran clipping your partner into that rope, every minute and every ounce of pork counts in this game." (cut) "The reward yesterday was amazing. For me, I will state that not having to go to Tribal Council is the reward for me, because I know my position in the tribe; it's pretty close to the bottom. Not going to Tribal Council was reward enough itself." (cut) "Having gone to the movies and having a private screening of a new movie with my Upolu family after winning one of the most amazing challenges, that was really incredible; it felt surreal. We had hot dogs, and pretty much unlimited candy, and that's the last thing we needed to do, eat more candy after we haven't been brushing our teeth for nearly 20 days. <laughs>" (cut) "Having got really down and dirty in the challenge, and then having this reward, was really significant in my participant and a team member in the Upolu tribe. The challenge allowed me to redeem myself as a valuable team member in this tribe." Proud of Edna Coach reveals how Edna surprised them all in the challenge. "I'm so proud of Edna for the way she performed yesterday in the challenge. She's always said to me, all along, 'Coach, I'll surprise you.' In a game like this, what you want is a type A, dominant male, leader. Somebody to say, 'Put me in, Coach. I want this job.' Edna's not that type of personality, so she's been overlooked the whole time. And I've sung her praises, at times. She's always said, 'Coach, I will show you wrong. I just might surprise you, Coach.' And she surprised me yesterday. For her to be such a big part of winning yesterday, that's gotta be a great feeling for her. She's been overlooked in all the challenges, and she performed beautifully yesterday. She did surprise all of us. Then for her to go with us, it's a big difference. When you win a challenge, and you know you helped win that challenge, that's probably one of the best feelings out here on Survivor. When you win a challenge, and you didn't help, because you sat out, it's kind of like awesome, but you don't feel like you did anything. When you hit the home run that wins the World Series, that's the most beautiful feeling in the world. We knew Albert was gonna perform. We knew Sophie was gonna perform. We knew Brandon was gonna perform. Edna outperformed everybody in the fact that our expectations were here <puts hand to about his middle> and she more than exceeded them <puts other hand near his head>. It must be a beautiful feeling for her, and I just want to say it again - I'm so proud of Edna." Upolu All the Way Brandon admits to having one of the best times of his life. "It felt great winning the challenge today. It's weird how everything's happened. Something really rough happened - we had to vote somebody out of our tribe at Tribal Council from losing the last challenge. It was amazing how we all came together. We prayed and we asked God for favor and He showed us some faith, man. The movie and the food, it was a huge morale booster and it brought us closer together, winning this challenge and being over here watching this movie, it was amazing. I love watching movies back home, man. That was a hilarious movie. It felt like I was back home. Going back to camp was like, <drop>. Goodness, I forgot I was playing Survivor, while watching the movie. Now we gotta jump right back into it. Gotta make sure we transition smoothly." (cut) "This ranks as one of the best times ever in my life. One of the craziest moments. I never could imagine this. We were so fortunate and blessed to have an opportunity to come do this. It's crazy. I don't have any words to explain it. It feels great." (cut) "It was really, really intense, winning the challenge. We worked really hard, and then to have a break like this from the game for a little bit, was just icing on the cake." (cut) "Anything can happen in Survivor, but I'd like to think optimistic and say we're just gonna take 'em down one by one. Upolu all the way, merge or no merge, we're gonna stay a team."

Posts: 21425 (10/27/11 06:25 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Praying for the Merge Albert hopes a merge is near since his tribe is ahead in the numbers. "I definitely felt there was a pretty big shift, specifically on day 16, the first day I felt like I wasn't in complete control of this tribe, in terms of being able to execute what move I wanted to. The play that happened that got Mikayla taken out of the game was something I didn't agree with and something I thought was going to lead to a really bad situation for us. Right now, what I feel in the game, I feel I still have really good control over this tribe in terms of my kind of insight and my relationship that I have with Coach. I can still communicate what I want to happen through Coach. He's still kind of the figurehead everyone assumes is pulling the trigger on most decisions. I still have a heavy amount of influence on what those decisions are. I'm still pretty comfortable being right now, but it's definitely shifted from a few days earlier than this. I'm still trying to feel exactly where Edna falls. I'm pretty confident I have Coach and Sophie 100% with me. I feel like I'm in a good position, and that win yesterday was tremendous for us. It gave me a lot more confidence in this game. Right now all I'm doing is praying for the merge. I'm like a basketball team with a lead, late, trying to run out the clock. I'm like merge, come on and get here while we still have this lead." Perfect Challenge Sophie explains why the immunity challenge was a perfect fit for Upolu. "The challenge was awesome. We won partly because people's mindsets going in were this is do or die, and we also had really good pairings. " (cut) "We were just in the right mindset. I felt it." (cut) "This challenge was the most physical challenge yet. Everybody's scraped up. You're blindfolded, going into pits. I was freefalling half the time, Edna was being dragged like she's on water skis. I think the physical aspect of it, because we were all so pumped up, the fact that it wasn't some puzzle or something like that, the fact that we could use the energy, it was a perfect challenge for us. Perfect. (cut) "The other tribe was absolutely devastated. Ozzy looked like he was going to break down and cry. He was shaking. It was such a performance, I thought it couldn't be real, how intense his emotion was after the challenge. It made me think their tribe must be really unified, and kind of on the same mindset as us, like, we gotta go in with 6, or we have no chance. I think it was good to see them so broken down. It makes me think they don't have any other game plan. They were banking on it. I think right now they're way down in the dumps, they just had to vote somebody out, and I think our tribe feeds off their negative energy. Our tribe feeds off this, we're better than everyone, we're the religious tribe, we're family. The more we see them get upset, and angry at each other, I think it just pumps our tribe up." Most Joyous Moment Coach explains how special it was for his tribe to win the challenge "I needed to get the immunity idol out in the open. I wanted to do it for 2 reasons - #1 is that enough is enough. The charade has gone on for too far. My first instincts were to just tell everybody; I should have done that, but Albert was paranoid about Brandon - rightfully so. Anyway, I had to bring it out yesterday. Go to treemail and we got treemail; it's like a double whammy. I wanted the tribe to be unified, that was another reason for bringing out the idol. We were down in the dumps. We got treemail, I needed to get the idol, I ran down and got the idol. It was kind of cool, because at the moment, with treemail, it wasn't just like 20 questions about the idol, how it was found, where it was found, when it was found. It was more, awesome, we got the idol, guys, and also, this is a challenge we have to win." (cut) "As we went into this challenge, with our backs against the wall, thinking and hoping the merge was coming any day now, trying to have that little bit of advantage. I said yesterday, to the six of us, guys, for one of the six of us, that could have very well been a million dollar challenge. That could have been the challenge that puts us ahead at the merge, if we merge. The feeling of pure jubilation and joy at the end of that challenge, when we knew we were one number ahead of them, that we knew we could very well have a small foothold of control over the next step of this game. The movie, great...totally secondary. The absolute joy we felt in that moment of triumph was absolutely euphoric. One of the best moments I've ever felt for myself on Survivor. Absolutely one of the best moments. One of the, if not THE most joyous moments that I've had here, in 75 days."

We get so bored around camp. (cut) That reward was amazing. Sitting in those comfortable chairs. I don't even eat hot dogs, and I had three hot dogs, with relish, and M&M's. It was perfect. Especially since we lost that picnic reward, which was probably the best reward yet, I think losing another of those fantastic rewards would have been absolutely miserable. Our minds were totally out of the game, but I think even beyond that, Edna was kind of feeling on the outs, and yesterday, Edna played such an important role in the challenge, feeling like she made a difference. And then, having that camraderie at the movie when we were all just chilling and relaxing and hanging out, I really think yesterday was a huge day for Edna to to feel like she was a part of this tribe. She keeps squeezing my arm, like, 'We did it, we did it,' she's being very active and vocal about the 6. I think a lot of that has to do with just chilling out at the movie, post-fantastic challenge. It's good for Edna, it's great for Edna. (cut) It's good for me. Anything good for Edna's good for me.

Is Sophie just being empathetic and happy for someone she's spent the past three weeks with, or is there some strategic reason she wants Edna higher in the pecking order?
