[purbeast0]

has anyone ever applied before to get on the show? i applied a couple years back and last night after the finale i told my wife i'm going to apply again. i just don't know what they want in these 3 minute videos, that is the golden question.

The fact is she was the only one that beat him in that challenge and he was a somewhat close 2nd and no one else was close so without her ozzy would had won it as brandon was not that good at them also.

You can say someone could had beat him but by what we saw it wouldn't had happened.

Brandon did win an immunity challenge, neither of us can say for sure he wouldn't win another. Once again, the chick that won would not be there, so that makes it possible that Coach wins. Ozzy was always the possible spoiler.

I hate the fact Sophie won, total coat-tail rider. It should have been Coach or Albert. They really need to change how the endgame is voted. While it is a game of personal relationships, its also a game about surviving, and the final vote can be brutal to someone who has done what they need to survive.

Her little outbreak trying to 'command' albert to pick her dropped pieces during the immunity challenge made me hate her even more...I am disgusted that she won after that little stunt she pulled...

The $64,000 question is whether "total coat-tail rider" is a weak player or a brilliant one. That's what the game is devolved to, the players that get voted out get hurt feelings and become crybabies and automatically turn against the person they see as the instrument of their own failures. The "leader" is not respected for leading, for forging alliances or for orchestrating strategies. They're just blamed by most of their victims for being better at the game than the victim was. So the weak "total coat-tail rider" wins by default. We've seen it happen many times from Tina back in season 2, Sandra twice, and again here with several more in between. Latch onto a stronger player, let them do the dirty work and make enemies and you collect the votes they lose. It's a valid strategy and an effective one. So can you really look down on somebody that adopts it and wins with it? Maybe Sophie and Sandra are great players by simply recognizing that the leaders will eventually screw themselves and maybe they're playing that sort of game intentionally rather than because they lack the ability to make bigger, bolder moves. Blame the game, not the player.

Yul/Becky/Ozzy is an exception. Yul had a hand in every jury member's exit and Becky rode his coat tails. She got 0 votes. Ozzy was 2nd place.

Sophie was the only one capable of winning that puzzle as the others were not good at them and without her as it showed ozzy would had won the million.

Sure anything could had happened but with how slow brandon is he would not had won the puzzle.

And as I said had he gave up the idol then he would had been voted out the next time.
