DON'T TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT:  It may be season 23, but there's still a reason to watch Survivor.



There's a few things we know about the show at this point, and I want to focus on two: (1) if you're at the low end of your alliance, they'd better give you a damn good reason to stay loyal; and (2) when in doubt, vote someone else out.

No, John No-E Cochran isn't likely to win this game regardless, and maybe shouldn't have owned his move so quickly, but he had no reason to stay put where he was. Ozzy's awful acting job at Redemption Island doomed the possibility of his harebrained scheme working, so, at that point, why trust a rock that's 40% likely to fall on someone in your tribe and 10% on you? Add to that just how suavely Coach played things, and the result wasn't surprising -- but a hell of a lot of fun.  Yay.
