John Cochran may be out of the running for Sole Survivor, but if most of you get your way, this will not be the last we see of him. Quite a few of you are already calling for his return. The appearance of Brandon's dad in this episode prompted much discussion about the Hantz family legacy. Is it too soon to wonder if we might see Shawn Hantz in a future season? Many theories were offered as to how this season will conclude. We are down to the final episodes. A week from now and it will all be over. For each new episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Eleven die hard fans shared their thoughts on episode 13 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. We want to especially thank all of you that got your responses in early! This week we heard from: Michal, Brian, Samantha, Brad, Brandon, EMP, DrewG, Lil' Russ, Anna, Carolyn and MikeK.

This week we interviewed John Cochran. He left the game in episode 13 of Survivor South Pacific. John made one of the most talked about strategic moves of the season and surprised a lot of us when he came extremely close to dethroning challenge master Ozzy at the Redemption duel. Listen to this interview to hear which previous Survivor he had planned to emulate going into the game, what he was promised to flip, how he will decide his vote at final tribal and lots more!

Time for the family visit episode! What do you think Ozzy's motivation was for choosing Albert, Coach and Brandon, and was there any signifigance to that order?Do you think Brandon's dad succeeded in getting him to refocus on winning the game? Looking back at Cochran's overall performance, do you think he earned the honor of being referred to by only his last name as he requested in the first episode? The time has arrived for the final five Upolu to have to turn on each other. How do you think it will play out from here? What's your final order? Ozzy continues to hang on and managed to squeek out another victory. Who wins at Redemption Beach? How would you feel if Edna managed to upset Ozzy and win her way back into the game? Do you think she would stand a chance to make it to final 3?

Here is the merged tribe after episode 13. Te Tuna:Albert, Brandon, Coach, Rick and Sophie Redemption Beach: Ozzy vs. Edna

We both think that Silent Rick will be the next arrival at Redemption Beach. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

Survivor was back this week and even though some folks find watching the execution of Upolu's disciplined game plan a bit too predictable, there was still plenty of action to get us talking! Coach continues to make significant progress in the game, but many folks acknowledge it begrudgingly. His hyperbolic explanations and supposedly learned, but often incorrect references which are crafted with the intent of impressing us continue to backfire. It often seems like he is so busy patting himself on the back that there is little room left for us to cheer for him. Sophie continues to be a front runner too when it comes to predicting who will make it to the final tribal council, but there is not a lot of hard data one can point to by way of explanation. Unlike Coach, we are left with the impression that she is intelligent and coldly logical, but the comparisons to Andrea and Ashley from last season that a couple fans made this week may be closer to the mark than we would like to believe. A few folks are forcibly optimistic for John Cochran's future, but most believe that Ozzy has already crossed him off his hit list. For each new episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty fans shared their thoughts on episode 12 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. We want to especially thank all of you that got your responses in early! This week we heard from: Samantha, EMP, Dave, Sandi, Lil' Russ, John, Griffin, Brad, DrewG, Carolyn, Brian, Evan, Donald, Brandon, Michal, Michael, Julia, Jeremiah, MikeK and Paul.

This week we interviewed Dawn Meehan and Whitney Duncan. They left the game in episode 12 of Survivor South Pacific. Both women proved they were worthy competitors in the challenges, but they were not quite up to the task of unseating challenge master Ozzy in a Redemption duel. Listen to this interview to hear their perspective on how John was treated by Savaii, how they responded to Coach's demand that they ration food, who they think is practicing psychological warfare and lots more!

There is still a chance for an original Savaii member to make it back into the game, but Upolu succeeded in eliminating them all from the Te Tuna camp for now. How do you think the god powered family will turn on each other now they have no obvious enemies left to target? Does poor little worker bee Edna stand a chance against the black and white vote out order that the Upolu five established at the beginning of the game? How do you score Cochran's gameplay? Do you think given everything you know now that he made one of the most "idiotic moves in Survivor history"? Who wins at Redemption Beach? Is there any skill John possesses that would give him an advantage over Ozzy?

Here is the merged tribe after episode 12. Te Tuna:Albert, Brandon, Coach, Edna, Rick, and Sophie Redemption Beach: Ozzy vs. Cochran

We are playing it safe and thinking that "the family" will stick to their plan and send Edna to Redemption Beach. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

This week we interviewed Jim Rice and Keith Tollefson. They left the game in episode 10 of Survivor South Pacific. Both men were done in by the vicious one two punch of Cochran's betrayal of his tribe and having to face Ozzy in a Redemption duel. Listen to this interview to hear who in Savaii had a final 3 alliance with Cochran, what really happened to Jim's plan to give Ozzy immunity, details on the biggest shark catch in Survivor history that we never got to see and lots more!

Double eliminations: They are a great response to a long drawn out Pagonging with the potential to allow for surprise power shifts too. Is Redemption Beach the ideal environment for challenge monster/survival skills expert Ozzy? Who do you think is the most dangerous person still in the game? If Ozzy manages to dispatch Dawn and Whitney and win his way to final 3, he is likely sitting on 4 jury votes with Cochran as a possible fifth for the win. Does anyone on Upolu have a lock on that many votes? Are you buying what Coach is selling? Is it all equal when it comes to decisions for the Upolu family? Did Sophie and Albert just miss their best chance to take control of their own destinies in the game? Does Cochran stand any chance of finishing above seventh? Who wins at Redemption Beach?

Here is the merged tribe after episode 10. Te Tuna:Cochran, Albert, Brandon, Coach, Edna, Rick, and Sophie Redemption Beach: Ozzy vs. Dawn vs. Whitney

We think John has reached his usefulness to Upolu and will be voted out in seventh place just as Albert described. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

There is always the possibility of predictability when one alliance or tribe gains the upper hand after the merge, but that does not stop Survivor fans from finding interesting points to ponder for each episode. That is because we like to consider all the possibilities and the impact that different strategies might have. The Listener Feedback show this week, while shorter than normal, covers a lot of territory. Savaii's choices leading up to Cochran's flip and their post merge behavior continue to be hot topics. Upolu gets their fair share of scrutiny too. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Fourteen shared their thoughts on episode 9 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. We want to especially thank all of you that got your responses in early! This week we heard from: Jeremiah, KathyS, Katie, Samantha, Stephanie, Brandon, MikeK, DrewG, Brian, Anna, Michele, Christy, Dale and Paul.
