‘Survivor: South Pacific’: and the winner is…
It’s been a long journey on “Survivor: South Pacific,” but Sunday night finally brought us to a conclusion that was in some ways satisfying.
Before we get to the final results, let’s look at some of the reasons this episode really shined:
1. The final duel – Brandon vs. Ozzy was incredible, mainly because we have never seen a guy so young (in Brandon) have so much resolve. He seriously gave the guy a run for his money.
2. Rick not wanting a hug – Why does Coach always try to hug the people he votes out? For one, after 35+ days it’s hard to see anyone wanting a hug — to go along with that, you just voted the guy out!
3. Sophie’s meltdown – For the first time all season, we were moved by what Sophie had to say at the final five tribal council. She really was hurt by being called a “brat,” and it goes to show just how tough this game has been.
4. Ozzy’s ultimate demise – Who would have thought earlier this season that Sophie would have been the one to defeat Ozzy? It’s strange, but it happened — and while Coach thought briefly (as in very briefly) about bringing him, he made the right move.
5. Albert thinking he’s played the best game – This may have been the best line of the night. Why? It was so delusional that we are now thinking about a new meme — “other irrational things Albert believes.”
6. God talk – During the jury phase, Albert got completely and totally roasted — mostly because he acted as if Brandon was not going home when he kept the immunity necklace.
7. Cochran’s line about Coach – Hearing Albert talk about underpants and Coach-chi may go down as one of our favorite jury speeches ever.
At the end of this show, we saw a 6 – 3 vote in favor of Sophie to win. Is she a worthy winner? Definitely. She won three immunity challenges, but we didn’t necessarily likely that so many people seemed to go against Coach because they were bitter.
