Ozzy is arguably one of the best providers in Survivor History.  His outdoor skills, fishing abiltiy as well as his tree climbing is legendary.  He also has two good finishes and was also fooled by the Girl's alliance on Micronesia.

In his first appearance on Cook Islands, on a five person tribe, he intentionally threw an immunity challenge to get rid of one of his tribemates.   After a tribe realignment, two more of his tribe mates were voted out.  But his new tribe was strong and despite the mutiny of  Penner and Candace to the other tribe when it was 6-6 making it 4-8, they continued to win making it 4-5 at the merge.   Using an Idol threat, Yul then pulled Penner back onto their side to blindside Nate then Candice which allowed the four to run to the end.  But Ozzy lost out to Yul in the final vote by one vote.

In Micronesia, Ozzy trusted his Favorite's tribe a little too long and became the first victim of the "Girl's Alliance" and a move engineered by Cirie going out in 9th place.

In South Pacific, after Boston Rob made a run the season before from end to end.  Ozzy tried to do the same thing.  This also had a Redemption Island element to it.  On the last tribal before he suspected the merge was coming, he had himself voted out to take on Christine and return to the game.  He succeeded.  He was then voted out again and returned again beating out Brandon Hantz.  He was finally voted out in the last tribal council.  He was the first person voted out of the game three times.

In Cook Islands, he benefitted from Yul turning Penner over to their side, in South Pacific, he was hurt by Cochran turning to the other side.

In Game Changers, he will be paired with Cirie initially who aided his demise in Micronesia.   I would expect him to team up with her, whether she will go along is questionable, but I would expect many of the rest of his tribe to not trust him.

Survivor 44--Final Seven

Although I am enjoying the cast of Survivor 44, I can't say I'm enjoying the season.  In the opening episode, a blunt force head trauma at 8:20 into the episode eliminating one promising character on Tika--Bruce and a rock climbing injury at 41:30, that had a lingering effect on Matthew on Ratu led to the first immunity challenge requiring the ridiculous strength of  six people being played with five and eventually four on Ratu as Brandon who had performed the Sweat challenge with Matthew who had to sit out the challenge because of his arm. Ratu unsurprisingly lost the challenge, and Soka at full strength won, which led to the first of four straight women being voted off, prior to the merge.  Matthew and Bruce were the only men to leave before going to the combined beach.   The abundance of advantages/losses, idols and fake advantages were overdone this season, and the tribe "swap" was too fixed. In the first journey, Matt, Lauren, and Sara all had to risk a vot...

37--R13--Redemption Island

Rank: Returnee #13 Season # 22 Title:  Survivor: Redemption Island Location: San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua Broadcast: Spring, 2011 New Players:  16 Returning Players: 2 Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz Winner:  Rob Mariano Final Tribal Council:  3 Players 9 Jury Initial Tribes: Ometepe and Zapatera Merge: at 12 Murlonio Jury: at 12 Loser of Duel 7 on Redemption Island Premise:  Players voted out would not leave the game and would have a second chance at "Redemption" through a series of Duels on Redemption Island Players returned at the Merge (Matt Elrod) and with 4 remaining Players on Day 37 (Andrea Boehlke) The Redemption Island idea was used in foreign versions of Survivor prior to coming to the US version, and seemed benign enough.  It might have worked better had it been all new players than with two returning players with a feud to settle.  Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz faced off and challenged each other at the Season 20 Heroes vs. Villa...

Episode 4 "Dirty Deed" Preview

One postscript from last week's episode.  The end result was not  unlike the rock draw in other seasons and someone deserving to stay, like Jessica last season was lost from the game.    As painful as it was to watch Malcolm leave, it's part of the game.  If J.T. hadn't done what he did, then perhaps it would have been Sierra that left the game. Tonight, Debbie appears to go berserk and get crazy with Brad and Tai, which usually means she stays.  After the twists of the first three weeks, who knows what this week's twist will be and how it will affect the game. So rather than guessing what's going to happen, let's get right to the rankings.  Awful week as my #2 left the game because of the extra twist. 20. Ciera (14) 19. Tony (19)  18. Caleb (15) 17. Malcolm (2) Total:  50 16. Hali (17)-- Still think Hali is at risk unless the women go against Brad or Tai.  Mana has been to every tribal so far, why not this week.  Not s...
