In a shocking turn of events in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 8, Ozzy’s brilliant plan to get thrown off the island on purpose ended up backfiring and led to Cochran betraying them and voting alongside the other tribe to get rid of Keith.
Ozzy’s somewhat calm about the fact that his plan blew up in his face. Jim, however, calls Cochran a coward and a poor excuse for a man. Whitney continues Jim’s whining ways and says he has a lot to learn and disgusts her. He has what to learn exactly? How to be loyal to a sinking ship that wanted to get rid of him last week?
Ozzy says that his strategy is gone. It was there in the first place?
The immunity challenge starts right off the bat. They will toss coconuts into a ring, then move on to the next round where they will crack coconuts, get the water in their mouths, and spit it into tubes located past the obstacles. Dawn scores in the first round. Whitney, Jim, and Sophie score in the next round, and those four advance to the final stage. Jim and Sophie take the lead. Dawn’s out of it, and Whitney is even more out of it. Jim wins immunity.
With Ozzy not having immunity, the plan is to get rid of him. How many chances do you get to vote him out? Apparently, two. That said, the stupidly vocal Jim would be a good target because he just keeps running his mouth without thinking. He’s safe, though, as long as he holds on to immunity, which he will do in spite of all his talk to the contrary.

With 6 votes, Ozzy has been voted off the island. Whitney and Dawn were at least smart enough to realize that voting against Cochran would accomplish nothing. It’s not over yet, though. He’s going to Redemption Island again. Oh c’mon. Really? This is stupid. If somebody plays this badly, enough chances are enough already.
Time for immunity challenge number two. They will stand on a beam while balancing a ball on a wooden bow. Anyone who thinks they don’t need immunity can feast on pastries and iced coffee instead. Jim, Dawn, and Whitney will compete in the challenge. Upolu and Cochran will eat. That’s certainly a first. Typically somebody bites on this offer but not quite that many. Jim is eliminated to some celebration. Dawn starts talking about how they’re all one tribe. Where was this attitude last week or before the last vote for that matter? Ultimately, I’m not sure how much it matters because Jim and Whitney have been vocal enough to secure their positions as the first to go. Whitney and Dawn survive to move on to the next section. Dawn falls, and Whitney wins immunity.
If Jim could shut the hell up once in a while, he wouldn’t have to worry. Anyway, his plan is to get rid of Edna. Nobody cares.
His potential saving grace is that Albert views Dawn as a bigger threat. She’s the person who could actually integrate into the other group and who nobody would view as a threat, thereby feeling more comfortable keeping her around longer. This sounds like just all talk to me, even if he has a point.
