As the show airs here, I'll update this post with major events. The real fun is in the comments area -- please join us there!
Survivors ready?
Ozzy is on Savaii, Coach on Upolu chosen by ink colors in random eggs pick.
Redemption Island is going to work just like last season.
Hero challenge -- Ozzy against Coach. It's physical, wanna bet who wins? The reward for the winning tribe is "terra" (sp?) -- like potatoes and flint.
Shocker! Ozzy wins and his tribe was a big help. Coach's tribe just confused him on the puzzle.
Christine already put a target on her back by calling Coach and Ozzy "temporary" and then going off immediately to search for the hidden idol.
Meanwhile, the retired NYPD detective is gay. Interesting!
Immunity challenge coming!
Upolu wins immunity and Semhar probably sealed her fate. Very close.
For his own reasons, Ozzy is pushing for Cochran to go instead of Semhar. We'll see.
Tribal Council time ... time to tally the votes:
Cochran
Semhar
Semhar
Semhar
Semhar
Semhar
YAY! Cochran stays!
Even Ozzy voted her out after pushing for her to stay. The vote was unanimous with the exception of her vote for Cochran. Good.
Here we go!
ReplyDeleteHi gang.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think those are two of the creepiest form contestants.
*hugging Margo, she knows why)
ReplyDeleteYAAAYYYYY!!!!!!
I mean I kind of like them both, but there is something a little off about each of them.
ReplyDelete{{{Joe}}}
ReplyDelete*~*~*~*~ cannonball ~*~*~*~
Sorry, Petals, I know Creepy Ozzy is your boy! ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I'm on Coach's team. Eeek! Oh well... gotta go with what your given, so let's go Stacey... Sharon S. I think we have our work cut out for us... well Stacey does anyway.
ReplyDeletePetals got Ozzy! YAAAYYYYY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh no. Joe, you are always "anti" whoever I love. Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteS'ok. More fun.
I am giddy!
I like Jeff. But I still think Cat Deeley is just the best host of any of these shows.
ReplyDeletePetals, I'm not anti-Ozzy. It's not that I don't like him, there is just something a little creepy about him, or just a little off. Like he's got some kind of mild social disorder or something.
ReplyDeleteIf they filmed this after Rob won, that'll make it tougher on Ozzy and Coach.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. --------->
ReplyDeleteI'll be in and out of Survivor. New puppy to take care of. Isn't he a sweetheart? His name is Joey! <3
Brilliant, Little Hantz. You're going to hide your name when it's tatooed all over your body...you'll be the only South Pacific survivor wearing turtle necks
ReplyDeleteOzzy looks funny with hair that long!
ReplyDeletesee, that's stupid. She just makes herself a target for the veteran
ReplyDeleteGood for Cochran. He's a fan boy!
ReplyDeleteSee, something odd about Ozzy.
ReplyDeleteMonty....just adorable!
ReplyDeleteMonty, congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie! And you named him after ME!!! LOL
severe thunderstorms here, hope we dont lose our TV !!!
ReplyDeletethis looks like a cake walk for ozzy
ReplyDeleteomg, This is OZZY's to win!
ReplyDeleteI think I have Christine in the pool (unless there is more thsn one Ed).
ReplyDeleteTrouble is she just shot herself in the foot with calling the vets 'temporary'
I was hoping for Whitney but I guess Christine will have to do.
Monty - that is a cute puppy!!
ReplyDeletethats my boy - he's an effin monkey when it comes to climbing.
ReplyDeleteTerry - I would flip if my power went out during this... Hope you dont lose it. :)
ReplyDelete<~~frantic. screaming.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they were telling Coach there.
ReplyDeleteTemporary players??? She just made a big mistake!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Joe. Not really... he's named after Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds! ;)
ReplyDeleteHe's sound asleep now so maybe I can clean up the kitchen and sit down to watch the show.
What a great start!
ReplyDelete*drink*
wow - smart, Edna!
ReplyDeleteI am on Coach's tribe, but I am pulling for Ozzie. I like his tribe at the challenge better too.
ReplyDeletesee, that's just rude. Why would they dis one of their own that way? It just creates a rift in the tribe.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so "iffy" in the beginning, trying to learn all the new players and their personalities.
ReplyDeleteMonty, is that a Boston?
ReplyDeletemeb - I completely agree! Coach is a liability. I do admit it seems like he might have had a dose of humility before he left home. Is it too much to ask it lasts through his stay?
ReplyDeleteBecky - I can re-dub the boat "OzFest", hehehe
ReplyDelete(kidding, think it will stay Miss chevious)
Ozzy's hair. Not even gonna go there.
that's my Aqua Ozzy. :)
ReplyDeleteOK.. now I feel sorry for Coach. That was mean... whether they like him or not... they were the ones telling him how to do the puzzle.. they should be made at themselves. Hope he can recover.
ReplyDeletepoor Cochran
ReplyDeletemeb, I agree. They were very rude to him, he deserves more respect than that. Makes me cheer for him, too.
ReplyDeleteSharon S.. he's good for some laughs at least... let's root for him to stay and see what he can do... at least he has some experience.. more than anyone else on that team..., and yes, the word was meant to be 'mad' ...
ReplyDeleteThanks Petals.. I'm sure you're rooting for Coach... with I Love Ozzy everywhere to be seen. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the "older" tribemates, like cowboy guy. And that saucy check, that is looking for firewood.
ReplyDeleteAnd ozzy.
Ed in OH - Oh no...you have Christine, and while I admire her savvy, I think she is a bit of a liability.
ReplyDeletesee, Christine's just dumb. She throws down on Coach/Ozzy in the first minute then abandons the tribe to go idol hunting.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Coach's team wins immunity, though. They're using Christine as a red herring.
Mark is OK, but we've already had one "bear" (Hatch) winner.
ReplyDeleteWow Nerd dude is really white, he is going to fry! Why would you not build a tan before you go! I bet the bugs will love him too!
ReplyDeleteCan't say much for Ozzie saying "let's swim" instead of getting a shelter built.
ReplyDeleteBob Marley? Nope,wrong guy - that is your medical grass dealer, LOL
ReplyDeleteCoach's team actually seems more together at this point. Ozzy's crew seems to be partying too much early.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I felt sorry for Coach. There is no excuse for rudeness his team showed him.
ReplyDeleteBecky - that's part of the charm of Ozzy. He is a waterbaby.
ReplyDelete@ everyone - is my avatar too annoying, visually? Seriously...s'ok. I dont want to be annoying.
Looks ok to me!
ReplyDeleteJoe, I agree with you about Coach's team being more together in getting the work done.
ReplyDeleteBack, finally. Yes Petals, he's a Boston Terrier. My s/o has had two of them before this one, and he's always wanted another one. He met him last night, and we brought him home today. :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what is going on, LOL. I'll have to watch it later to catch up on everything.
<~~less in-your-face??
ReplyDeleteCoach is surprising me a bit....
ReplyDeleteMonty - that face (Joey's) is adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwww - *sigh* Ozzy is so sweet.
Ozzie's got that pirate thing going...looking good!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon - yes! I need to calm-down a bit. I am having Ozzy-overload.
ReplyDelete*chilling, composing myself*
~~~~deep breath ~~~~
Do we know if Evel Dick is going to make an appearance tonight?
ReplyDeleteI've taken a dislike to Brandon (Russell's nephew) because he's taken a dislike to Mikayla for being too much of a temptation. Ihave a feeling he'd be comfortable if she were wearing a burka.
ReplyDeleteBrent - My thought exactly!
ReplyDeleteBrent - he inherited his uncle's appreciation for the ladies...LOL
ReplyDeleteBrent, I thought his comment was uncalled for too.
ReplyDeleteCoach has always drove me nuts. I could not stand him before.... now he is my pool pick!
ReplyDeleteThey were rude to him and I kinda felt sorry for him.
LOL, Petals - both avatars are perfect. I kind of like Ozzy's long hair. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMonty - I'll *drink* to that!
ReplyDeleteDonna - Coach is fun to watch, at least you have that....
This is like the Ozzy show (so far)
Brandon has old Southern Baptist ways of thinking! I am one so I can say that!! Although, that is not how I believe!
ReplyDelete"Ozzy releases his coconuts"...sounds like a euphemism, LOL
ReplyDeleteThat bearded bear is goin home.
ReplyDeletePetals - I don't think so. I think Semhar is useless and they probably think so, too.
ReplyDeleteYou think Petals? I think one of the girls is going to go....
ReplyDelete~~Splash~~ Better late than never?? Trying to do this on a patched together system so I might not be here too long
ReplyDeleteSueGee on the left coast
I don't think it will be Papa Bear, I think it will be the one who wanted to be a basket shooter because "that's a big basket" who failed to deliver. Don't SAY you can do something if you are not 100% sure. Say I will give it my all, but not I know I can do that.
ReplyDeleteSo far, Coach hasn't displayed his freaky side that annoyed me so much in other seasons. If he stays like this, I might be able to put up with him.
ReplyDeletePetals - I'm betting on Semhar going home, even though Ozzie likes her and she's got some woodcraft. Jim's right, she needed to contribute more in the area that she specifically stated she wanted to do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jackie - I kinda get that feeling now, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't lose Chochran. He may be good at puzzles...
And Jackie - that tall drink of water is on the red team with Ozzy (eye candy)
Jackie, I think Semhar too!
ReplyDeleteUPALU, UPALU, UPALU!~
ReplyDeletedid the red team hear Jeff say that? they can go ahead & look @ their camp, too.
ReplyDeleteoops - the idol clue, i mean
ReplyDeleteDrama queens are 1st to go. You guys are right - buh bye Semhar.
ReplyDeleteSucking at challenge...bad!
ReplyDeleteCausing drama in the tribe...worse!
She's right... she didn't do well! And she should go home I think, but Dawn, the older lady, is also in jeopardy. I think Ozzy has his work cut out for him with his tribe.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting BB at 9 p.m. EST.
ReplyDelete:<
~~~
hmm. Back to my 1st choice of Papa bear (perfect name, Becky)
ReplyDeletePS - Ozzy is not gonna "snuggle" with anyone ('cept me, maybe - psychokinetically *wink*)
Does Ozzy purposely walk in front of the camera with his junk out?
ReplyDelete~~~
I like the geek, no well suited for Survivor but give him a chance!
ReplyDelete---, BB comes on at 8:30 tonight. At least that is what TV Guide said.
ReplyDeletePetals, they may not have hid the clue at the red camp yet. Although they can look if they want...might find the idol by accident. Sometimes they hide it in the middle of the path! LOL
ReplyDeleteMy player of the week... Mikayla.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Ozzie prefers to keep Semhar. Aaaarrggh!
No fair... I like Cochran... that would stink if he went instead of Semar... Is Ozzy still in a relationship? Or is he looking for one.
ReplyDeletePetals - That "tall drink of water" also has a pacemaker. He has to watch physical contact.
ReplyDelete@ ~~~
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
BB follows Survivor, so it's 9:30 my time... 8:30 your time sounds right Becky.
ReplyDeleteBecky - 9:30 PM ET/PT is the start of Big Brother. You live in that odd time zone! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDang, it is thundering here!!
ReplyDeleteWe better not get a bad one that knocks out the satelite!! Please not tonight!!
Jax - Oh yeah...Hope that won't hurt him later.
ReplyDeleteBB Final is next?? I am nearly spent!
I like Cochran too ... he's like a new age Woody Allen.
ReplyDeleteHa ha Jackie... IMHO, 7-10pm is the best "prime" time!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what Ozzy's deal is. Cochran is not James...but how is he weaker than Samar?
ReplyDeletemeb - Ozzy said in pre-show interviews that he is not going to let a show-mance screw-up his game this time. Good, cuz I don't wanna share.
ReplyDeleteI like Cochrane too! He is quirky-cool.
Bob Marley is a bit mouthy, too early-on in the game. May be his undoing.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I hope this doesn't backfire and they get rid of Ozzie. Yikes, it could happen. :-(
ReplyDeletePenny
Note to self: Send "thank you" card to CBS camera operators. heehee
ReplyDeleteCochran vs Semhar... pretty clear cut
ReplyDeleteoh boy ...I was nervous. Think the editors are just getting better at setting us up?
ReplyDeleteOMG, I cannot believe that!
ReplyDeleteYES ! ! !
ReplyDeleteappears Ozzy is not in control of his tribe
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Cochrane is staying.
ReplyDeleteDonna - I just closely looked at your avatar, and it is lovely!
ReplyDeletePetals - Who is it you're calling Bob Marley? The start and getting used to who is whom is hard already without nicknames thrown in. I know. I'm easily confused.
ReplyDeleteMe too Becky.
ReplyDeleteI think they see Ozzy has more on his agenda than what he tells them with keeping Sehmar...
pumpkin - I noticed that, too. But I refuse to let that thought cloud my mania. :) He will be fine.
ReplyDeleteThanks Petals... I'm diving in each comment!
ReplyDeleteJackie, are you starting a new thread for BB?
ReplyDeleteJackie - someone on the tribe called Ozzy "bob marley". But I am calling the mouthy medical marajuana guy Bob Marley. I dunno - i just associate weed with Marley.
ReplyDeleteBecky - One is set to automatically post at 9:30 ET.
ReplyDeleteGoing to new thread! See you there.
ReplyDeletePetals - That's blasphemy to Bob Marley! The dude is NOTHING like him!
ReplyDeleteMOVE TO BB POST NOW ...
ReplyDeleteOzzy voted for Semhar! ??
ReplyDeleteJackie - I think "Bob Marley" is the medicinal grass guy, square face, dark mien, pretending to be a teacher.
ReplyDelete*respect to Jackie*
ReplyDeleteno more Bob Marley. I'm gonna call that guy Snoopdog until I learn his name, LOL.
~~~

*dog paddling *

Where are we for BB?
That guy's name is Jim. Let's just call him that. It's easier to everyone reading comments.
ReplyDeleteRefresh the blog and you'll see the BB post!
ReplyDeleteJust glad Ozzie didn't go the first week.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of on the edge about Semhar leaving. I like Cochran, but I just don't really know.
We'll see what it does to the team next week.
Penny

margo aka the lifeguard.
Here we go again!
ReplyDeleteMargo, thanks for including me in the pool. Figures I would have to get Brandon. LOL
So far I don't think Brandon has the same arrogant entitlement attitude that his uncle Russell had but it's too soon to tell. I don't think he's going to be able to keep those tattoos hidden for too long. Which player is it that is already suspicious that Brandon is hiding something?
Loved seeing Ozzy back and it will be interesting to see if he keeps his low profile game strategy going. He seems to be much more subdued this season.
Coach is Coach, what else can I say?
Semhar should have known not to protest too much in the very beginning. I know she really did feel badly about loosing the challenge for her tribe but she only called more attention to it. I simple sorry I blew it would have been sufficient. Ozzy must really have had an attraction to her to have tried so hard to keep her in the game. It must have been the poetry she recited. ;) I guess Ozzy didn't know that Semhar would have a lantern on Redemption Island when he quietly commented that he wished he'd taught her how to make fire.
Cochran definitely has a lot to overcome. He may just be bright enough to do it, at least for a couple of weeks. What was he thinking applying for Survivor? I hope he gets some sunscreen soon.
I still don't have all the names down yet. Who was the woman who had an early meltdown? I wonder how long she's going to make it before having another one. Let's face it, Survivor is much more difficult than many fans realize. We're not all cut out for the challenge and most of us know who we are. ;)
Can't wait for the next episode.
Loved the show!
ReplyDeleteJoe, I think they probably got
Ozzy and Coach for that creepy factor you described. It's kinda a perfect pairing of two different forms of creepy. Interesting.
Cochran is going to have sun and bug bite problems with that skin. I was so glad to see he made it through tribal.
Haven't the females usually worn bathing suit tops and bottoms? I don't get why they're in their bras and underwear this year. Anyone?
