Another night of double eviction showed the end of a dumb tribe that played badly, as both Dawn and Whitney met their demise in Survivor: South Pacific Episode 10.
Sophie’s mad because Cochran’s getting along with her tribe better than she is.
Cochran pulls his tribe aside to ask for them to save him for just one tribal council. The entire rest of the tribe, even Rick, other than Edna, is there to weigh in (well, Rick doesn’t so much weigh in as just sit there). Coach and Albert support the move. Sophie does not.
Ozzy, Dawn, and Whitney are the competitors for today’s duel. They will balance ceramic dishes on the end of a long wobbly arm. With 11 dishes, Dawn is the first to fall. Had she chosen an alternate course, rather than siding with her doomed tribe, she may have had a good shot at winning this game, but now she is out. Whitney is the next to drop, and now she can head to Ponderosa to continue making babies with Keith, not to be confused with the guy she’s married to. Ozzy wins the duel and stays alive.
Ozzy continues to talk about how well suited he is to Redemption Island. He sure isn’t very well suited to being a castaway with the others.
Albert doesn’t care about camp life. The housework is not his problem. Rick refers to him as Prince Albert.
Coach is trying to make a choice. Does he stick with “the five”, or does he keep Edna and Cochran, who will never vote against him?
In the first stage of the immunity challenge, they will toss sandbags on crates. The first three will move on to slingshot coconuts at targets. Everybody gets on the board with Coach in the lead with two. Albert is the first to land his third and final bag. Rick, who we have seen three whole times tonight, is next. Cochran and Sophie have managed to hit their second targets. Sophie is the third person to head to the finals. Albert scores first. Then Rick. Then Rick again. Albert ties is at 2. Albert wins immunity and reward, a massage and an island shower. He chooses Coach to go with him. Because he can’t choose a third person to go and wants food for next time, Albert gives his reward to Cochran. This is a nice birthday present for Cochran, even if his birthday is not really in two days but rather in six months.
A new plan has formed. Edna, like Cochran, is on the bottom of the totem pole. If they can join with Albert and Coach to vote out some guy named Rick, that would save them and potentially get them to rise to the top. Albert gets wind of Rick talking about how he doesn’t do anything and calling him Princess Albert. Now it’s just time to convince Coach to flip.
Brandon opens his mouth at tribal council. That’s never good. Tonight, he’s voting out Cochran. Next time, he’s getting rid of Edna. He doesn’t plan to change.

With 4 votes, Cochran has been voted off the island. I don’t think this was as foregone a conclusion as his old tribe had hoped, but unlike the other tribe and their big stupid move, nobody around here wants to do anything, instead just coasting with the status quo.
