Does anyone have a mirror?

Here’s my thought in regard to Rick and Edna. Have you ever seen those Fat Head commercials where you can buy life size replicas of your favorite sports personalities and hang them on your wall? They don’t move, they don’t talk, they do nothing, but…..they will cash a check at some point for some amount for just appearing, very much like Rick and Edna. What have these two brought to the game other than they know how to write someone else’s name on a piece of paper? Sad. Maybe next year they should simply recruit people on welfare who don’t move, don’t talk and don’t do anything with the exception of cashing a monthly check for what? For being an American. Everybody now, “GOD Bless the USA”. Okay, I’m done now.
Pre-Redemption Island
Jim thinks the final three will be Coach, Cochran and Edna. I think if this is the case, Cochran would win out. I still don’t think enough people are sold on the new and improved Coach.
Redemption Island
Ozzie beats Jim and Keith in the challenge. Balancing two boards on the back of his hands which supports another board, very creative. Oh yeah and by the way. Before the challenge Whitney openly cheers for Keith while Rick cheers for Jim. Jeff asks the group if anyone is cheering for Ozzie, ………….crickets. Wow I think President Obama has a higher approval rating. No one is hoping for the Oz man to win. While Ozzie is the most physically fit, it is quite apparent that even though this is his third appearance on the show, he still doesn’t know how to play the social game. Oz Man might very well make it to the final but the only way he could win is if he faces Rick and Edna in the final and they both fell over from strokes before the vote.
Redemption Day 26
Ozzie says good things about himself. The group is missing his skills in catching fish and providing. What else is new.
Tetuna
Let me stop here for a second. When you pronounce Te-tuna, doesn’t is sound like a guy who stutters? What do you want for lunch? A t-Tuna sandwich. I know, that was rude.
Challenge
As soon as Jeff started explaining this challenge my first thought, damn it Gumbie, that looks like fun. Fill a bowl with rice, put it on your head, walk across a teeter-totter and dump your rice into another bowl. If I never make it on Survivor I at least want to help design future challenges. Of course my ideas involve blindfolds, lawn jarts, and ex-spouses, just sayin’. Sophie wins when she loads her third bowl of rice to the brim. Oh yeah, remember teeter-totters from when you were in school. One of the most dangerous of all the playground equipment especially when the two people sharing one tttt-teeter-totter, who might have been very close as friends but not very close in actual weight. And while we are on that subject, why was it the fat kid’s best friend was the skinniest kid in class and the girl who slept with everyone was best friends with the girl who ended up being a nun? But I digress.
Pre-Tribal Council
Cochran notes his lack of balance and co-ordination. Yeah dude we know. Millions of people watched your attempt to cross the teeter-totter with a bowl of rice on your head. It was akin to watching Helen Keller attempt to walk across a frozen pond, with two bags of groceries after downing a case of Bud Light. Whitney makes the comment about Cochran and Sophie being lawyers and “For a bunch of smart people they sure are dumb.” I don’t get this quote at all other than sour grapes for being on the short end of the totem pole.
Dawn then notes that she thinks she is going home. However, some moves are being discussed in the background such as Albert, Cochran, Whitney, Dawn and Sophie talking about getting rid of Edna. Why not? At some point you have to whittle the numbers down, why not now? You also take over control of the game with a move like that. However, even with Jeff telling everyone to expect a twist, Dawn gets voted out. This happens even after Whitney and Dawn mention this at Tribal Council prior to the vote. Cochran even pipes in that this would be the best time to make a move. The guy sitting at number 7 of a 7 person tribe agrees with the status, but fails to make a second huge move. Coach and Albert exchange a few friendly, “Who is in charge,” comments. Coach makes the quote, “Information is power,” which I think I have heard on each season. The twist is in the form of a trivia question challenge game about South Pacific and Sophie wins immunity a second time in about five minutes. Whitney gets sent to Redemption Island along with Dawn. The only surprise to me was Cochran getting a vote. Who voted for Cochran?
Next Week.
I am thinking Cochran is the key here. Sophie and Albert have to make a play for him as it breaks down like this. Albert, Sophie, Rick against Coach, Edna and Brandon. Cochran could easily determine who the final four is and these two groups already know this. And my prediction is, I think Dawn upsets Ozzie in the next challenge and eventually makes it back from Redemption Island.
