Hitler's Nephew, Coconutball and Cocharan

Okay, before we start rolling here. Tell me that you had a Cocharan in your class in high school? Yes you did, he was the guy with the pocket protector, carried 17 books around with him at all times and pulled his belt way too tight to keep his pants up. He got A's in the smart classes, knew how to fix the PA system and when it came to being athletic.......well let's just say he got A's in the smart classes. Guys loved to make fun of him after copying off his homework, girls would pinch him on the cheek but never date him and well, he got A's in the smart classes. More on him later.
First impressions.
Um, did anyone else get the impression that people love Ozzie and not so much love for Coach? Everyone clapped when Ozzie went on his team and by the time Coach reached his team all but one of them had left for camp. (Sound of crickets) That was a rude entry. He looked like the dog who crapped on the carpet and got banished to the garage for a week. Hey, quick question. One lady was wearing a suit jacket outfit. Who the hell packs a suit jacket outfit for Survivor?
Bold Statements
Kristine the school teacher made a comment about Ozzie and Coach, "Good to see them, they are temporary players." Ouch John wants to be known as Cocharan ala Ozzie, Coach and Rob. Yup dorko, we can do that.
First Challenge
Climb a pole, retrieve a turtle and do a puzzle. Okay folks, in all the previews we see Ozzie climbing trees, Ozzie climbing ropes, Ozzie climbing the Empire State Building so the producers make Coach go against Ozzie doing what? Climbing. No favorites there. The puzzle on the other hand stumped Ozzie. I sort of got how it worked about half way through. Ozzie did the good thing and asked for help and won. After the challenge Coach was basically shunned by his tribe.
Savaii Tribe
It will take me a few weeks to remember tribe names right off but everyone has a Ozzzie-love-fest back at camp. He pipes up, "Best tribe ever." They decide to have a group bath and put off making shelter per Ozzie's "I don't think we need to worry about the weather today." That's the same thing that Noah's neighbor said a few years back as he leaned down to pick up his Sunday paper from his driveway and waved as he watched Noah close the door to the Arc. Jim was telling people whatever he was telling them and laughing at the camera, "I'm not going to tell people what I actually do." And this will be to your advantage because? People are going to vote you out because you legally sell marijuana? Dude, you'll be the most popular player EVER. After the bath Ozzie says we need to start a fire. Yeah, no shelter but a fire should keep you warm during the rain. He says he wants to keep a strong tribe. DAH
Upolu Tribe
Coach tells everybody he isn't a threat. Um, everyone who has a vote is a threat. Christine says she is going to gather wood and then starts looking for the idol.
Which brings us to Brandon. First of all he tells he is Russel's nephew and then takes the next hour to continue to tell us that he doesn't want to be like Russel. He used to be like Russel but no more. Then we see he is infatuated with Mikayla. Weird? Yeah, this boy is out there.
Coconut ball
Zig zag through coconuts, climb a wall, cut the rope and shoot coconuts. Two things about this challenge stood out. Did anyone see that frickin' Albert pull Hitler's nephew over the wall? I am guessing Brandon weighs close to 200 and Albert pulls him up and over the wall. Dude is strong. Then Samher begged to shoot the coconuts and wanted to quit after a few throws. Upolo wins.
Tribal Council
Cocharan and Samher have one of the most polite arguements ever at tribal council. It was a pillow fight with apologies. I'm sorry I will wait until you are done calling me a twit. Oh sorry, I didn't know you weren't finished calling me lazy, I aplogize. I wonder if this is how two Amish guys fight over the last chicken leg at dinner? Anyhow, Samher goes to Exile Island and cries about people lying to her.
Next Week
Cocharan learns how to run around the may pole and how to give a wedgie to a monkey.
