S23 EP 8 "Double Agent"
Kiwi Jay:
The thing is Dawn is right, Cochran has been treated very badly by people on Savaii, Keith, Jim and Ozzy especially...and now Whitney is showing her true colours. Imo he made the right move, I wouldn't stay with people who treated me that way at all after 20 days with them!
Jobby:
Cochran played a game based on his own emotions. Technically, the odds of Savaii remaining the Top 6 are high and I have no idea WHY would he flipped if he's indeed a strategist, and that comes down to his emotions. He let his emotions take control of his vote.
With 2 Immunity, 1 Idol.. if they go into a second tie, the chances will be only him or Jim going home (Keith will be immuned)
On the other hand, 5 members on the other tribe has NO IMMUNITY at all. (Rick now has Immunity due to a second tie)
With 2 vs 5, their chances of picking a stone is possible, but almost 2 and a half times lesser than Upolu. Cochran never has a better chance in the game to play with Savaii all the way to the final 6. Joining forces with Upolu.. he's going to make it to 6th or 7th place the most. BUT, I can foresee Upolu bringing him further than that because ultimately, his tribe hates him and he's a great final three candidate, honestly.
I won't blame Cochran for him flipping, because Savaii treated him like dirt, but Dawn is right, what goes around comes around. His chances of winning this game is almost zero. Except from Dawn, I don't see anyone else from Savaii giving him the jury votes if he indeed makes the final three.
I don't mind him telling Upolu that he was a fake double agent, but going to the extend of telling Upolu Savaii's voting plan... that is not honourable and it will come to bite him back.
Enough of strategic talking, I love the Immunity Challenge today, very very refreshing and creative. I just wished Dawn stayed there and see how many more people she could take down before she quit the challenge, even though she win Immunity.
Next week, we see Jim trying to get Upolu members to do some serious flipping. I don't like Albert as he gives me a sneaky feeling. I am still rooting for Dawn, playing this game with her heart, integrity and being completely honest and having a good social game. I really hope Upolu doesn't target her yet, she's the only person I'm probably rooting for right now.. someone tell me why is Edna still around, she still seemed useless. Sigh. Go Edna, be an underdog and start making big moves...
realshowfan:
First of all, I was sad Christine went (but I actually wanted Ozzy to stay over Christine), especially since she was SO close!
Cochran was in that swing vote position. It was either making a move through his emotions or through his promise, and also between the luck with the rock and a betrayal with Savaii. I don't know if he made the best move. Staying true with Savaii in this round and then screwing them by swapping to Upolu would make more sense to me, but the luck of the rock would make betraying Savaii like the more safer choice. Would Cochran make it to the end with Savaii, had none of the Savaii members went home from the rock? Maybe, as Ozzy would be a target (Keith/Whitney/Jim aren't dumb to keep him) and the smartest one of the three would put Dawn/Cochran in their pocket. But all that coming from the risk of not having any Savaii members gone from the rock. If Cochran went with Upolu, there's a chance that before the other Savaii members are gone, someone from Upolu will approach Cochran (knowing his luck with things in this game!). Really so much to consider. :duno:
I'm so happy for Dawn (and Oz I guess) that she won immunity! :wohoo: She has one more thing to talk about as her asset if she gets to the FTC, and it's very unlikely people would target her for anything other than tribal lines (or late-game if someone thinks she's so likeable that she'll get votes).
And ohhhh that's why Whitney's there. For that fail Ozzy Idol. Poor Ozzy, never has luck with the Idol he finds, lucky he didn't find the idol in Cook Islands! It was also nice to see so much of Rick.
OMG the preview of the next eppy was quite interesting. I wonder if anyone else is gonna flip!
tullfan:
There is a greater chance that Cochran will be the next one to go than if he had been eliminated by sticking with Savaii and drawing rocks. Savaii is now royally screwed and the 5 that Cochran betrayed will be a majority of the jury. If a few of the Upolu are willing to vote for Cochran along with the remaining 4 that were betrayed at the next Tribal Council, then sending Cochran's ass to redemption island ahead of them would do a lot to earn their 4 jury votes. I think that what was what Sophie was referring to in the preview when she sais that Albert wants to shake up the game.
Reality_Gal:
Poor little Cochran his feelings were hurt so he went to backstab his entire tribe. I hope Jim, Whitney, Ozzy and his entire tribe give it to him.
Poor Keith :( He was basically blindsided :groan: I hope Cochran is going home and I hope Jim's plan works!
