So, I was hoping that we were being misled by all the shots featuring a presumed-victorious Ozzy on Redemption Island (surveying his domain from the top of a tree, diving for fish, resting in his shanty, expressing his domination of the game, etc...). I was hoping that the producers weren't just teasing us when they hinted at the possibility that Cochran might pull off a win over Ozzy in the RI duel. I was hoping that not only would Cochran win RI, but that Brandon would be either voted out by his tribe or pulled out by his dad. I was hoping last night's episode would essentially be the opposite of what it actually was.

But, hat's off to the 5 Upolus who are still around. They did it. I never expected them to pull it off, what with Brandon's psychosis, Rick's invisibility, and Coach's Kool-Aid, and all. How in the world did such a dysfunctional group make it to this point? Crazy. And now, I don't know who I'm rooting for. I'm leaning toward Coach or Ozzy, but I really would like to see a newbie win the game. Maybe Edna will beat Ozzy and return to the game, just to win it all. I think I'd like to see that. (Although, I've never really been a fan of Edna's so I'm not sure why I'm leaning that way.) This season is strange. So very strange.
