After 20+ seasons I cannot see how people fail to realize that. Then again, most people "in" the game feel that the game is getting to the final 3 or "a little further" in the game rather than getting the million or winning the entire thing. i don't think you can say sophie was a coat-tail rider, her winning those immunities was crucial - when coach called her the new dragon slayer it was correct, ozzie definitely would have won the game. she played the single biggest role in getting him out. | ||

Not to mention they can't show everything that actually happens. Apparently rick did alot more than what was shown, but at time throughout the season I forgot he was even there. But there are quite a few survivors who won on there own meritt not riding any coat tails. Like Todd on China, he ran that whole game. Or the love of my life parvati who had to outwit russell hantz to win. | ||

I was rooting for Coach to take the cake, but I'm satisfied with Sophie winning the prize. Let's face it; She's no Natalie, at least. She fought for that win and played a smart game. Her win in the last challenge got either her or Coach the game, because nobody really liked Albert. The moment when she revealed the secret behind when they found the idol, she won herself the game, imo. I love me some Coach, though. Would have loooooved to see him win. I really enjoyed this season. Way better than last year's snorefest. Edit: Better safe than sorry, I guess. | ||

I dont know why so many people think that Sophie is more deserving that coach. She didnt beat Ozzy, he lost the challenge by himself. Dunno, it seemed to me that coach was the driving force and the strategist behind the winning tribe. The only mistake he made was choosing Sophie over Rick. Overall it was "ok" season, but Cochrans move made the game much more boring that it would have been. I felt bad for Brandon at the end, but he cant blame anyone else besides him for his stupid play.

 Hard to see him fight week after week and then fall just one challenge short. And the bitter juries really suck. The majority of them all saw Coach as this big liar and hypocrite (especially Rick) and so wouldn't vote for him. I mean Sophie voted out Rick just as much as Coach did, but Coach was the figurehead so he takes all the heat for it. Lying and manipulating is what happens on survivor.. what did they expect.. I really hope they don't bring back two former players next season. They just end up running the show and while its great strategy for them, its kindof boring to watch. Though I guess it avoids us having another season like Nicaragua. | ||

Coach never should have approached Ozzy about taking him to the end, that was just stupid. | ||

Coach definitely was the entire reason Upolu was so strong. He was pretty much the sole reason Cochran was convinced to switch. He did do a bit poorly towards the end though. Promising Rick that he'd never vote for him and then trying to give Ozzy some sort of promise increased the bitter feelings from the jurors a lot. He should have just told Rick that he might consider voting him out since he saw him as strong, at least that way Rick wouldn't feel as betrayed and Coach could more easily defend his "honor, loyalty, and honesty" mantra. Coach never should have approached Ozzy about taking him to the end, that was just stupid. i think sophie was the reason upolu was so strong Who talked albert out of all his harebrained schemes to break up the 5? sophie who beat whitney to get the last savaii loyalist out? sophie who beat ozzie to ensure upolu final 3? sophie i think she did a lot of the strategy work and had coach as the figurehead leader/diplomat, so he'd take the heat from angry jurors. | ||

Rather have had Sophie win than Coach though, even though I don't believe either one of them deserved it | ||

Hmm yeah very good points. She definitely was an extremely strong player. Great in challenges and good strategically as well. I'd have to question whether she would have been able to convert Cochran as Coach did, which was pretty much instrumental in giving Upolu the game. I think Coach began to screw up a bit towards the end though and that really bit him hard in final tribal. Your point about being the figurehead reminds me of Fabio who basically was liked by everybody because he didn't orchestrate anybody's exit from the game, beating out Sash who was in control of the game for a really long time. | ||
