If you haven't watched the horse racing movie Secretariat, you need to go out and rent it and this will give you an idea of what happened last night on Survivor. In the last scene Secretariat is shown sprinting down the home stretch with an enormous lead (Yes he wins the race and I gave away the ending, too bad if you had rented the movie you wouldn't be complaining now) where was I, oh yes the horse has a huge lead and the trainer yells to the jockey, "Don't fall off the horse Ronnie, don't fall off the horse." Last night Brandon fell off the horse.
Tetuna Night 32
The final five of Brandon, Coach, Sophie, Rick and Albert have made it. Brandon and Coach pray which is what Brandon and Coach do. Albert is going after Sophie because he thinks she is well spoken and the smartest person left in the game. DAH AH, I said that a few blogs ago, that proves he reads my blog. The good part of having an alliance of five is you have the numbers to vote others off. The bad part of having an alliance of five is, only one person wins. It is sort of like your wife meeting your girlfriend for the first time. It ain't a bad thing until they figure out who the other person actually is and how they know you. No I'm not talking from experience because I ain't that lucky nor am I that dumb.
Redemption Island Challenge
Edna and Ozzie start with a slide puzzle, which releases a machete, which is used to cut a rope, which then releases puzzle pieces. Ozzie jumps out to a big lead and of course you think he will win. Then Edna comes roaring back and jumps ahead when putting the final puzzle together and you think she has it won.........but wait, she didn't put the puzzle togther correctly and Ozzie wins in a close finish. The five people watching the challenge were cheering for Edna and even offering here advice. Poor Ozzie, nobody wants him in the game but he is still alive.
Tetuna Day 33
Albert doesn't care for the honor and integrity code of the group. He is exactly right, at this point somebody has to lie and cheat. It is sort of like the no texting while driving law. Here is a quote from an article which I just read involving texing and driving, "And what's more, many drivers don't think it's dangerous when they text and drive — only when others do." WTF? Really? That's like saying it isn't a bad thing to have a head on crash with another vehicle, as long as it isn't me. I don't think I can give a better analogy for this part of the game. Basically we are at the stage of the game which says, "I can lie to you, but don't you dare lie to me." Meanwhile, Sophie wants Brandon gone and I think she is right. Whatever he has done in the past is the past. He is actually starting to grow on people. Whenever you mention God as much as he does, you get people's attention. Coach thinks Brandon is turning into a bully. Tony Soprano has his tough guys and God has Brandon. Brandon wants a hug.
Challenge Day 35
Climb a wall and gather what? Bags of puzzle pieces of course. The tough part is climbing the wall part way, holding onto the rope while untying each of the four bags of puzzle pieces, making your way back down the wall and repeating this process. Brandon jumps out to a huge lead and wins easily. Now the other four have a tough decision as it was quite apparent, Brandon was the target to be voted out and now he has immunity. The best thing that could have happened. But................
Pre-Tribal Council
Coach and Sophie are talking about voting off Albert which is the smartest move which is the smartest move for those two. (Yes I did repeat myself there and was going to edit it but thought I would leave it in) Albert has been a loose canon and can't be trusted. Rick spills the beans to Brandon about what Albert said so Brandon runs right to Albert to tell him what Rick said. Then a four person discussion, argument, those pants make your butt look fat, your girlfriend is ugly, OH YEAH I know you are but what am I, finger pointing, let me finish, yadda, yadda, yadda conversation takes place.......... and cut. WOW, I wasn't sure as to most of the conversation other than it sounded like someone's toy got broken on Christmas morning and someone else was to blame. I am fine with it and you know why, because it wasn't my toy that got broken. tttthhhhhhhhhppppppppp Brandon talks about giving the immunity necklace he won, to Albert. He said he is going to pray on it. Coach listens to Brandon and says he is going to pray on it too. At this point as I was watching I was thinking I wanted a beer, so I prayed on it.
Tribal Council
Brandon decides to protect Albert so he gives him his immunity necklace. You work so hard to stay alive for 33 days, win immunity and then give the necklace away, why? This is an individual game and history shows that when someone gives away immunity the odds are, you will lose and look stupid for doing it. I am quite sure when Brandon started watching this season on television, he sooned realized all that he needed to know about Albert. He explained that they were buddies through out the game so this was his way of showing Albert that he had his back. Brandon then goes on about a gang he used to be in when he was younger and how they were brothers and had each other's back with the exception of one time.............zzzzzzzz. Dude, did you not learn anything from that experience? I was waiting for Albert to give the necklace back to Brandon as a sign that he had his back also, didn't happen. Albert kept talking about other things which basically clinched his spot of not being able to win this game as he just completely lost his two most loyal people, Sophie and Rick. Rick spills the beans about Coach having the hidden immunity idol. The deciding vote comes down to Coach who votes his prayer meeting buddy Brandon to Redemption, thus saving Sohpie. I guess God went with Coach and not Brandon. God didn't listen to me either as just as the innkeeper told Mary and Joseph that there was no room at the inn with it being Christmas Eve and all, there was no beer in my fridge.
And now?
I look at the favorites as being Ozzie and Sophie. As in life, people tend to be creatures of habit. When the players are talking about other players, they have been talking about Ozzie and Sophie as being the one's they don't want to be in the final with because of how they have played the game. I think if Sophie makes it to the final she wins. Ozzie can make it to the final, but as being a creature of habit, he will flub his lines at the final tribal council and won't come across very well. At this point I say Sophie wins and Ozzie comes in second and Coach third. I think the impressions of Coach and Ozzie from seasons past come back to haunt them yet again.
