11/15/12 - Time to get up to date. To be honest there hasn't been anything exciting for a while, very predictable as the final five from Upolu continue to the end. Thanksgiving week they aired one of those "behind the scenes" episodes, so nothing exciting there (I was yawning again).
Last week, despite efforts to preview excitement the predictable happened and Edna was voted to Redemption Island. Afterwards the charming segment with tribe members battling to spend a day with family members from home produced one interesting chapter, as Brandon's father (Russell Hantz's brother remember) tried to bully Coach into taking son Brandon to the end with him. Coach didn't appreciate that at all.
Then more "exciting" previews showed Edna about to beat Ozzie in the Redemption Duel, and she honestly had a chance and made it close, but Ozzie won.
So last night the final five duked it out and Brandon won immunity. Afterwards Albert self-destructed and put himself in the middle when his recent spate of lies came out in a series of tribal discussions.
Then things got a little weird as Brandon decided he would save Albert out of forgiveness by giving him immunity and Coach prayed to find the name of his next vote-out. Well, it was Brandon... after giving his necklace to Albert and getting a swell weird hug (see picture), he was voted off to face Ozzie at Redemption this Sunday night in the season two-hour finale.
So Sunday night will begin with Ozzie and Brandon dueling, and then the winner will join the other four for the last challenges and votes and the eventual winner.
Just because it's about time something totally improbable happened, I'm picking Ozzie... but if he goes down in flames I'll take Sophie. Not sure why.
