I'm "live blogging" right now, 'cause I missed the show last night (Prince concert!) and am watching on my lunch break! Gah!
Oh my goodness, Albert trying to blindside Sophie. What a jerk! I mean he's probably right... of course you don't want to sit next to her at the end. But... jerk! So Albert tries to go to the end with Coach and Rick. Albert certainly thinks a lot of himself, non?
OK, so the duel. Ozzy vs. Edna....Fun! Puzzle.... good for Edna. Edna getting help from the whole tribe. She almost had it but nope. The Oz man wins again. See? Hate to say I told ya so, but uh, I told ya so. Whenever the clever editors make it look like something's gonna happen, it generally doesn't. Same with the vote at the end. Ask yourself who is it edited to look like will be voted off? It'll be the other person.
Albert: "Ozzy has so many more resources than we do." (Uh... or you could get off your lazy ass and go fishing.)
Sophie: We have to send Brandon to redemption (aka Ozzy's Pleasure Dome! Ha! Good one, Soph!).
So is it team Albert or team Sophie? I thought they were tight. Huh. Now they're opposites. Coach: I think it's because Sophie's smarter than Albert & he knows it. See? Coach is a smarty pants. And Coach is in charge... so I'm guessing right now, it won't be Sophie, it'll be Baby Hantz.
Coach mentioning that Baby's Dad came down & gave Baby a "shot of the Hantz"... Hee hee. Then, explaining it to us, Coach says, "First, it's rude to interrupt someone's conversation." Ha! Yes, now it's all about manners. You can tell that Coach is talking himself into justifying (like he has to!) voting off Loco. "Don't be like Russell," says Coach to Baby, "You're being a bully." Uh, because he said he feels weird about not knowing all the conversations. This one time, I'm with Baby. That was uncalled for. But then, Baby: "Please give me a hug, man." Aaaand it's all good. Or is it? Coach: "The apple never falls far from the tree... I know what I need to do." (All Godfather like) Then, out of nowhere... Baby shows up..."Cheer up, God's got everything under control." Baby seems to sneak up on people like that. He must have soft feet.
Immunity challenge... plus pizza reward. Brandon in the lead? Rick in the lead? What the? OK, well, Rick not doing so well on the puzzle. Baby Hantz wins!! Dang it. Yeah, point to the sky.... (Aside... I hate this trend. They do it in football, baseball... the Grammys... now when you win on Survivor you need to point to the sky? Ugh.) Oh. Now what? Why does he choose Cowboy to eat pizza? What the? Not Coach? Really? Coach, I'm pissed, but I believe in divine intervention and I'm at peace with that. I love Coach. Really. Coach is playing a GREAT game. It's too bad the jury isn't seeing the mastery.
Oh my god. The pizza was just delivered via jet ski. Hilarious. Almost as good as when Jeff took the jet ski to New York (or was it LA?) to deliver the final votes for the finale that time.... Ah, memories....
Now Coach & Sophie want to vote out Albert. Albert is a weasel and would deserve it.
Baby: "You've got a lot of people who don't know how to tell the truth." Ummm... that's because you don't HAVE to tell the truth all the time on Survivor, dummy. Oh, and the finger pointing begins. And the Cowboy speaks!! Cowboy tells Baby that Albert promised him final two. Delightful. And yes, Albert, you have thrown everyone under the bus. Sophie: "It's so gratifying. It's like he's in the toilet bowl and we all get to flush it. He keeps trying to scramble back up, but hopefully Jeff will give it the final flush." Hee. But hey, Brandon is CRAZEEEE-LOCO and doesn't have a clue what to do... he can be completely swayed on a minute-by-minute basis. Baby is going to give Albert the immunity necklace!!! WHAT? It's Loco and not exactly brilliant. And of course he tells Coach. What? OK, now Coach prays for guidance. He's voting for Brandon. Yep... I knew it as soon as he said 'My soul has never grieved as it does in this moment." And ummmm, really? That's a stretch... or else Coach has lived a fairly sheltered existence.
Brandon... first thing out of his mouth at Tribal - Jeff aghast... "I want to give my immunity necklace up." Gives it to Albert. Jeff: "Baby, you seem like you have the weight of the entire planet on your shoulders." Ah, he was in the gang scene. Explains a lot. Baby tells about how he would have "taken a bullet" for anyone in his gang, but when it came down to it, they all left him out to dry. Ah ha. So basically, God is the only thing Baby trusts.... and the dude really.... REALLY... is impressionable. And then proves again how impressionable by saying re: Coach and Albert that "They are my best friends." And at least the jury can see that Albert is full of it. Jeff (clever Jeff) offers up that maybe Albert should give Baby back the necklace.... And, no. Albert's no dummy. Weasel, yes. Dummy, no. GAH!
Rick, as he's voting for Baby - "Dumb move." It's all up to Coach!! I think it'll be Baby... Baby.... Baby.....Hantz.....
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand..... it's................. Baby. Says Coach to Baby: "It's God's will - go win redemption." Right. Wow. And now the jury's seen Albert's craziness.... but, they've also seen Coach turn his back on Baby. And whoever wins out of Baby or Ozzy will re-enter the game! Fun. And really, the whole "Redemption" thing means a lot to Baby, so he could pull it out and beat Ozzy (though, I don't think he will.) It's a good story, though, right? Jesus freak vs. Jesus of the Jungle himself. You can't write this stuff.
Don't forget the finale is on Sunday!
I'm still predicting Ozzy. I want Coach to win, and I think he'll be smarter than Ozzy in the questioning if it comes down to the two of them. Thing is, I don't think the majority of the jury 'gets' Coach. We'll see. Could someone like Sophie get in there as the third and give them a run for it? Possible. She's smart, well-spoken, and well-liked. She hasn't played before. Crazier things have happened. Never forget Natalie.
