Cochran could engender sympathy from Brandon that if Ozzy is still in the game after Cochran throws a vote at him, he would be bullied to within an inch of his life. It all depends how good a salesman Cochran is. Given he's had plenty of practice at feeling both bullied and ostracized, I reckon he'll pull it off. Ozzy does a good bully, Cochran does a good victim. Last Edited By: ModestyBlaiser 10/28/11 07:26 AM. Edited 1 times.

Tell him Ozzy and than vote out Whitney(or whoever) - because if he is being honest with them they'd have a 6-5-1 boot and Whitney would go home and they'd have the 6 vs 4 vs Cochran advantage anyways. To tell him who you are targeting and voting for that person is the height of stupidity in this instance. But they're the righteous and God-fearing tribe, remember? It may not be logical but there's a reason we've had all these loyalty and honor spiels - especially relating to Brandon.

At the duel, Ozzy and Cochran will make a scene and pretend that Cochran was targeted at the last TC but played an Immunity Idol which sent Ozzy to Redemption Island. Since Cochran was on the outs with Savaii, he will be able to convince Upolu that he will vote for whomever Upolu decides to target. Now here is where it gets interesting. Because Upolu could always change their target at the last minute, Cochran will still have Ozzy's Immunity Idol at Tribal Council. Also, now that the tribes have merged, Cochran does not want anyone from Upolu by chance seeing him pass on the Immunity Idol back to Ozzy or whomever is targeted. Cochran has 2 viable options: 1. He can stay with the plan and play the Immunity Idol for the person that Upolu is targeting. 2. He can vote with Upolu and keep the Immunity Idol for himself. This option only makes sense if Ozzy is being targeted. Option 2. is very tempting. If Cochran decides to screw over his original tribe then after Ozzy is voted out, he can show Upolu that he has the Immunity Idol, which he could have played, thus further gaining their trust and he can coast to the Final 4. I doubt that Upolu would target Cochran before the idol expires and Upolu will be indebted to him for helping them take control of the game. Can't wait for the next episode. It should be fun to watch. Regardless of whichever alternative Cochran chooses, he will end up pissing off a lot of people. Last Edited By: tullfan3 10/28/11 08:44 AM. Edited 1 times.

Don't see any chance that he'll spill anything to Cockroach.

Aye, especially with John's cover story about how devious he was. I think that Brandon will be very suspicious of him.

He's never subtle.Anyway if it does work I would guess a Rick boot because he has the invisible idol victim type edit. I do wonder what Upolu will do with their idol,however.

I am expecting this to come into play. There is no way Coach can control Brandon, in fact, I would say that Coach actually fears Brandon because he has definitely been pandering to Brandon the entire game. (all the praying and such is definitely being done to make Brandon believe that he is working with "God fearing Christians") That being said, I think that Brandon is really trying to be what he believes is a good Christian. (This is not a judgement, simply my personal observation) I think that Brandon WILL blab to someone on the S's. The obvious person is Cockroach but I can also see him talking to Dawn. If nothing else, Brandon will spill the beans at TC and tell the S's exactly who they are planning to vote out in the name of "honesty" (and because he believes that the U's have Cockroach's vote) which would cause chaos at TC and possibly some last minute scrambling. He did it to his own alliance when they voted out Miki so why wouldn't he do it again? Fun stuff.

How many seasons have we lived through thrilling music, thrilling footage, dramatic VO claiming "most shocking ever" only to watch a big chunk of the humdrum spiced up with a few snakes'n'spiders? I see some other old hands here being hopeful but I swear sometimes I feel like Charlie Brown taking one more run at that darn football, knowing Lucy/EPMB is holding it.
