Survivor South Pacific episode 5

After a somewhat heartfelt apology from Brandon to Mikayla last week on Survivor South Pacific, the episode begins with him saying she has no class for not trusting him since he is a Hantz.  I thought he was embarrassed by the Hantz name and wanted to show it in a new light and perhaps he is with all the crying and whining he does about it in every episode.  With that one little clip at the beginning of the show, Brandon is surprisingly absent while some of the others on Upolu tribe get a little face time.

Over at Redemption Island, Albert and Mikayla watch from Upolu and Whitney and Dawn from Savaii.  Stacey, who knows she has no chance against her bff Christine proceeds to call out her tribe and let Savaii in on all their secrets.  She refuses to call Coach, Coach but insteads goes for his actual real name of Benjamin which hits a strong nerve when Albert relays this back at camp.  I know she called out Albert and Sophie as well but without the subtitles showing us what was actually said, I couldn’t understand a word of it.  For the actual duel, the girls will drop a ball into a twisting shoot and catch it when it comes down.  Every so often they add another ball making it a little harder to catch each time.  Stacey, with all her wisdom drops her balls in without even thinking of strategy or spacing them out but Christine does and once again to everyone’s chagrin she wins and remains alive to fight another day.  I can’t stand this chick and root against her every week but she’s fierce in the comps.  I’ve got to respect her a little for that.

Back at the camps, both tribes get to hear all about Stacey’s rant and Ozzy makes a comment that if Coach was smart he would get rid of Albert soon.  Paranoid Jim takes this and runs with it.  He realizes if Ozzy thinks Coach should get rid of one of the best competitors that Ozzy feels the same way.  He wants to break up the Ozzy and Elyse alliance and has Cochran still on board to do just that.  Cochran decides to help Ozzy fish and goes off in the boat.  Ozzy rocks and catching fish and brings back 11 for his tribe but then says he needs a nap.  Cochran, in his confessional says Ozzy has turned into a middle aged lazy ass lol.  You’ve got to love the nerd in the group speaking his mind.

Albert is searching for the clue and idol relentlessly and finds the clue which leads him to looking in the top of trees along the beach.  He enlists the help of Coach and Sophie and after saying a little prayer, Coach finds the HII.  He is pretty pleased with himself.  In fact, with the exception of having to hear about Stacey, Coach is in one of his better moods of the season.

In what is one of the most disgusting Immunity Challenges ever, the teams arrive to see two roasted pigs on a spit.  With their hands tied behind their backs they race to the pig and bite off as much as they can and spit it out in a basket.  After ten minutes, the teams with the most weight wins Immunity and a reward of veggies, bread and spices.  They are getting huge pieces of meat stuck in their teeth and the others have to bite it out and spit it in the basket for him.  It’s really gross.  Both teams are giving it their all.  In the end, Upolu wins by only two ounces and Jeff announces they also get to take their meat back with them to eat, spit and all.  Yuck!

Back at Savaii the plan to backdoor Elyse is underway.  Ozzy wants Cochran out and everyone is on board with that except Jim, Dawn and Cochran.  They need one more person and Jim has a serious talk with Keith who turns to Whitney.  In the end, Keith and Whitney both for Dawn knowing Elyse would have the three votes to evict and we have our first blindside of the season.  Ozzy is blown away and by the looks of the next episode, things will take a dramatic turn for the members of Savaii.  Awesome Tribal Council.  I love when the whole team doesn’t vote the same way.  Makes things much more fun for us at home.

What did you think of last night’s episode?  Did Savaii do the right thing in voting out Elyse?

  2. well disgusting challenge for sure and to be offered to eat it is even more urkh
    anyway, now we can hate Christine all we want but this lady is a GOOD reason why maybe they need to send a strong player to RI to be MAYBE able to send her home???
    that Jim guy i don’t like him at all, since day one i found him suspicious and not to be trusted
    Cochran, not bad for a nerd :p lol
    Ozzy i think he’s gonna be sent next to RI cos in the next episode clip someone shouted to Cochran to help but he wasn’t which made me think maybe he will do it on purpose to make the team loose and vote Ozzy out???

    @ Sparky, everybody’s doing nothing in Savaii and laying in the hammocks minus Cochran who’s plotting and trying to stay alive week after week, good for him but the rest were confident about themselves and i think that’s why they’re not on high alert, just my thought on things…

  3. cochran… nerdy … yesssss… but hes trying… im beginning to like him… i followed him for a while on twitter… and yes… hes a nerd there too… lol

  4. i just had this thought and i think i may be right
    well stupid and paranoid Jim didn’t really get what Ozzy meant by saying that Coach should get rid of Albert next; well i think the reason Ozzy said that and what he really meant by it is just so Coach takes away all that Stacey and Christine said about him running Upolu tribe and Albert being his right hand so by voting Albert out he rids himself of being a target and the rumor those 2 woman have spread to Savaii; not that he (Ozzy) will go next to vote one of the 2 guys out cos he just been voting out the weak to keep the strong ones for the merge
    but it seems Jim and keith are not that clever to understand what he meant!!!
    all that being said, i think Ozzy is next on the list to go specially with wanting evreyone to play their game alone… things are not looking good for him!

  8. If I was Ozzy I’d fry me a big pan of fish and let them watch me eat, Cochran said ozzy is lazy well I guess getting a few twigs of firewood and spliting a coconut makes him a man, My man Coach was on a mission climbing and finding the Idol have to say really enjoyed the show between him and Albert,They do need to get Mikayla into there alliance, as for Ozzy’s tribe there just a bunch of how do I put this, well Whit and Keith were weak not to vote with ozzy, and Dawn jim cochran deserve each other,Looks like Ozzy is gonna tell them next week but what I saw on the previews about playing himself or something???? usually after fourth challenge they let the person on RI go back into the game thought anyway that’s how they did with Matty last year and he was voted out.back to RI then two tribels and he competed against 2 other player’s.

  9. That Meat challenge was GRoss about as GRoss as them on survivor 1 eating the rat..then taking it with them and eating it, goes to show when your hungry you’ll eat anything.Brandon was cooking up a storm indeed!!! glad we got to get a look at other players after the crying stopped..I think Brandon would be alright if he’s just keep his mouth shut, alway’s saying he want’s to do good of the Hantz name, well in my opinion Russell was one of the best players of survivor. and i seen them all..nothing to be ashamed of he played the game and america voted for him twice to win the 100’gs..

  10. @ crazy….. Mikayla? shes not even on my radar… that was a nice save… i meant the flame thrower to sanatize the meat… not take out Mikayla… roflmao

  13. Exactly my thoughts, when Jeff said they won by 2oz.

    Now about that meat…. to go. Did you see all of the human fluids coming out of their mouths with that meat? Far beyond saliva, that was gag reflex mucus that some of them spewed… and maybe more. So very NASTY.

  18. @ Anthony, I didn’t know that saliva did that.

    I do know that if you had Chicken Pox….. Herpes Zoster resides in your body and is likely to return as Shingles in older years or when your immune system is down. So the Red Menace could have made his point with a lot more eloquence or kept those thoughts to himself. Yup, the second is less gross.
    In his defense…. his Herpes rant must have made his tribe feel better about not winning the abc meat.

  19. Russell was amazing too in getting second runner up in both back to back seasons…he just misjudged the jury vote process…and he refused to acknowledge that Sandra and Natalie White DID understand the jury AND the tribal voting, they are VERY different…

  20. jury votes are based on REVENGE, not bitterness, the difference between jury and tribal is strong players like Russell who outwitted only himself, cannot outlast the jury, only the tribal votes measure outlast, Russell never outwitted anyone, he outplayed and outlasted but he could not BULLY a jury because there is no tomorrow on the jury, [at least not in that season] but tribal votes especially after merge and now RI can come back to haunt the halloweeners :) which i am sure we will see some of this season…

  21. Outwit, Outlast, Outplay…. that is the premise. Hard times cause people to bond or break… that is a fact. So if Ozzy feeds only himself… he might as well eat that idol. It will do him little good as the hungry bond and rally against him, but if he feeds all but the blindsiding 3, he would be making a clear statement. They haven’t even tried to feed themselves and they had better learn.
    It is risky, but what isn’t on Survivor?

    Voting out the weak to RI is a good move. If they do return they are still weak. The return of a strong player could bite them. I would have voted Cochran.

    Ozzy did do 2 things that made him look like a bully. He asked Cochran how to spell his name…. then voted Coch – Train so it would be obvious that that was HIS vote. Kinda dumb… huh?

  22. Liz yes i had chicken pox at age 14 and shingles vaccine at 72 :)

    however herpes simplex or any virus i think MUST reach an internal cell i think called endothelial in order to reproduce, and the EYE is the entry area of most viruses in humans, but the trip to an endothelial cell is like many many miles for a virus, so there is PLENTY of time to do it yourself anti viral activity, primarily for me is standard extracts of shiitake and or reishi and or maitake mushrooms, available at GNC or anywhere high quality herbals are sold…for myself it has TOTALLY wiped out ALL herpes simplex for at LEAST twenty years now, and i got a herpes type outbreak BEFORE 1990 EVERY time i ate chocolate !! go figure…the lentinan in these mushrooms was used with AZT to cut the treatment time for AIDS by HALF the time !!

  23. Liz a simple logical analysis would define OUTPLAY by BOTH physical strength and mental agility, OUTWIT by getting JURY and TRIBAL votes, and OUTLAST by either physical endurance or under the radar or under the bus or strategic alliances, or ??, of course they all work together and overlap like the olympic rings, however when they all light up at the same time its called BOSTON ROBBERY :)

  24. the reason i say BITTERNESS is NOT in the jury is because it was so OBVIOUSLY in Russell himself, HE was bitter toward the juries and tribals that whacked him, THEY were not BITTER they were getting revenge which only happens once, except to Matty on RI :) bitterness lasts forever, like Russells unrelenting stupidity of blaming every one EXCEPT himself for his failure to win the jury…and i doubt he will ever get that right…

  28. @ Anthony, I am allergic to so much….. mushrooms, sesame, soy, molds, pork….. or the steroids or antibiotics they pump swine full of.
    Nothing is safe for me….. sniff… sniff. ;P
    I had chicken pox when I was 6. There were 6 pox. My sister was covered with them inside and out at the same time that I had 6.

  29. I went way off topic there. Sorry guys.

    I hope Ozzy and Benjiman make it to the merge and secretly team up. If Ozzy doesn’t win..after all of this exposure… I hope hegets work from it. I would watch a movie just because he was in it, and I am not much of a movie person.

  32. Liz, we had three of my sisters grandchildren living in our home in the 1990s from say 4 to 9 years old, the middle girl about 6 got the pox first then the two boys her bro older, my blood kin youngest boy later had intestinal health problems however we found that the VERY old water heater in that home was contaminated, the timing was so close it had to be the primary cause although kids do such bizarre things who knows ?? i have memory of eating peanut butter at age 14 same age of my pox which were MANY the PB was purple and brown in the jar in the frig, i thought oh wow mom got that new PB and GRAPE JELLY from our grocery shelf inside our little home we sold groceries in a store front, NOT JELLY but aspergillis fungus so i am allergic to this day to peanut butter BUT STILL binge once in a while, swollen eye lids, hives up the gazoo, but NO MORE PB, this was the worst ever, and takes so long to heal…

  33. Sparky my sister and i were just talking about actors like Charlise Theron who BECOMES her character so much in MONSTER i never knew it was her !! but then others only play people who are CLONES of themselves , and everything in between, some can act some can just be there :) Boston Rob can act, Russell could only be there, every one else in between, Coach is just there, Ozzy is just there, maybe why we are bored :) NOT me the armchair astronaut i am never bored, just borING :)

  34. Liz i would not worry about Ozzy or Coach or any of the major players, they have cashed in no doubt many times from their 15 months of fame, sorry Andy Worhal but you have about 15 seconds of TALENT oh my sorry to diss the dead :) sadly Oz already was in the movies P O R N :( dumb and dumber Oz and Benjy

  35. Liz, given Ozzys p o r n history i think Coch Train was not bullying but Ozzy being the ALPHA MALE who gives all the foxiest women their babies while Cochran was probably the victim of peer pressure preadolescent playing with the other boys ??

  36. whats in a name ??? ‘Oscar “Ozzie” Lusth appeared in an episode of Playboy TV’s Foursome, Star reported earlier this fall.’ yes Oz was on camera AS HIMSELF :) serviced two women and used his real name !! so Sparky you see if Survivor SHOWED Oz knocking boots with Elyse Survivor would have to pay Oz a ton of money from the Actors Guild guidelines :)

  39. I had no idea Ozzy did porn. I am not a prude or anti porn, but for some reason, I am grossed out by that.

    Aspergillis < scary stuff.

    When I lived in Williiamsport PA (circa 1983) there was an outbreak of Giardiasis…. so glad I eascped that one. They blamed it on the beavers and life went back to normal.

    In the late 90's my Bio professor and I put in some after hours work to develop a strain of Ecoli that was antibiotic resistant.

    In 2002 my immune system was down and Igot a raging case of Salmonella… caused heart damage. Ironic Justice.

  40. wow Ozzy in porn,@Crazy LOL..about Cochran playing with the other boy’s.yes Indeed..Myself I dont care for Cochran he to me is very creepy, more so than Brandon. Meat may be meat but I do believe I would of stayed on rice myself..Funny Brandon ate Mkaylia’s spit.LOL

  42. OK, so I googled the Ozzy porn thing and watched it. I had no idea porn could be so boring. Keep your day job Oz. Yawn.

  43. Yes Liz we were nutty to allow ourselves to be living guinea pigs :) maybe there are rewards in hospital heaven :) my biological buddy was staph, and it had three YEARS to eat all the other microscopic species inside the injection tube from which i got hypodermic needle injections for three years, which was SUPPOSED to inhibit my immune system from allergic responses to ALL the little critters but there were none left after staph ate them, but i guess i got immunity to staph anyway, i would like to see that doctor suffering on Survivor :) he KNEW about the staph and after the three years his nurse ratted on him, what a psycho !!

    i use live yogurt cultures now, grreek yogurt or capsules of live acidophilus, especially when taking the triple mushroom antiviral capsules…Best of Luck and i hope you have a healthy and prosperous old age :)

  44. After years of trouble and averaging 3000 PVC’s a day, a stranger in a store told me about co enzyme Q10. I was skeptical and tried the lowest dose. 3 months later it was time for my holter monitor. I went through a full 24 hours with 0 PVC’s. I am doing so much better now.

  46. You should teach me stuff.

    I have a health secret told to me by a russian doctor (you might already know it, but not many do). Walnuts are recommended by the Arthritis Foundation for arthritis pain. They also work work for other types of pain. I don’t know why the walnut industry doesn’t advertise that.

  47. I have almost resigned myself to the fact that it appears like Ozzy will not necessarily get as far in the game as I had hoped, if the previews are any indication at all. What is he thinking? He should NOT have told ANYONE else about the hidden idol. He should NOT have gotten romantic with any other survivor. He should NOT have made that comment about Coach being wise to get rid of his closest ally because obviously Ozzy’s allies would have taken it out of context. And Ozzy should try to NOT act as arrogant as he seems to do at times. I think Ozzy is trying too hard…and I am concerned about Cochran “Cockroach” turning the tide against Ozzy, though I have to admit Ozzy is giving him plenty of ammunition. As I feel like Ozzy had been kind of cheated before, I would like to think that he will straighten up and not be so laid back and just FIGHT to stay in the game, he is still very strong in challenges and he still does a lot as far as providing food around camp. Cochran doesn’t do much of anything other than taking forever opening a coconut and gathering a few twigs it appears like (from what we are able to see). I commend the 90-lb weakling in having a strategy such as it is since it is obvious he cannot win any challenges and cannot stand on his own merit. As many can guess, of course, I do not like Cochran, I didn’t really like him from day 1, he reminds me of Todd from Survivor China who had to get rid of any physically strong players because he was such a wimpy thing himself.

  49. do too Liz :) been eating walnuts ALL my life, my moms dad always had a ton of them when i was a child…

    i never heard the PVC acronym, i was a chem major so i thot POLYVINYL CHLORIDE ? :)

    A PVC may be perceived as a “skipped beat” or felt as palpitations in the chest…

    here was the stupid crap they claimed i had before my heart surgeon did a catheter and said my heart was fine :) so i have been walking up seven flights of stairs just to scare my PCP :)

    01) Normal left ventricular size with severe hypertrophy. The left ventricle
    has normal systolic function.
    02) Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy of the elderly.
    03) Findings consistent with resting left ventricular outflow tract
    obstruction.
    04) Thickened aortic valve with severe stenosis.
    05) Moderate mitral regurgitation.
    06) Mitral annular calcification.
    07) Systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
    08) Mild tricuspid regurgitation.
    09) Borderline pulmonary hypertension.
    10) Borderline aortic root dilation..
    11) There is a pseudonormal pattern consistent with stage 2 diastolic
    dysfunction.

  50. excellent comments Doug !! Cochran is no Todd Herzog :) they are both probably preferenced to the same gender but Todd was a MASTER PLAYER right from the start, Todd just had a slight tremor early in the game but he wiped out every barrier to the million$ with amazing confidence, i would like to see Cochran assert himself as well as Todd did, however, John has apparently been isolated by immaturity for a long time :(

  54. You make a good point about Todd, at least he did not seem to be sneaking around quite as much as Cochran, not to say he didn’t back-stab anyone, but I realize that would be very difficult not to do. I was a bit miffed at Todd because I really liked who I believe might be the youngest player of all time?-FROSTI ZERNOW , and I thought Todd threw him under the bus. Frosti was only 20 and almost seemed like a younger version of Ozzy as he did really well in the physical competitions. I believe Cochran would not make a move against Ozzy to his face, he has to do it behind his back for fear of Ozzy squashing him like the little cockroach he is…

  55. Doug :) poor Cochran has probably been severely abused his whole life :) anyway YES indeed when Todd got his Hatch personality on it was about as vicious as it gets, SORRY my memory has always been a little wonky, i cannot recall Frosti however i will look up the videos or recaps soon and get back to you, thanks for the clue…

  56. I think it is great how Coch is going after Ozzy to take him down. Ozzy is a jerk and a big baby the way he is acting about Elyse being sent to RI. I think Coach is much better at keeping his team cohesive. Although, little Russ is not to be trusted. Crocodile tears from the little Hantz. Coach is great. Ozzy is a jerk.
