CONGRATULATIONS COCHRAN on your million dollar SURVIVOR WIN.CONFIDENCE was KEY.

SURVIVOR ONE WORLD CAST INCLUDES A LITTLE PERSON AND A GAY REPUBLICAN

CAN WE SAY JAY BYARS and SURVIVOR NEXT SEASON

I APPLAUD COCHRAN FOR HAVING THE GUTS TO JUMP SHIP.I HAVE ROOTED FOR HIS TRIBE SINCE THE BEGINNING BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY HE WAS TREATED EITHER

I never felt Cochran had a shot at winning the million dollars in his position on his old tribe.He managed to stay around till the merge but the truth is he was always in the bottom of the tribe rankings.His tribe mates just never gave him any respect.Cochran made it to the merge and jumped ship.It really was a smart move.He probably still isn't going to win and I think he knows that , but I think he can go to sleep at night knowing that people who treated him like shit the first half of the game aren't going to win either.

OZZY LUSTH MAKES HIS BIG MOVE

Brandon to the right with full painted face and painted boobies.

The last time I spoke of Survivor was the Season Opener and I had mentioned how a few cast members had caught my eye.I purposely haven't blogged about Survivor since because the first few episodes pretty much focused on Brandon Hantz and his Christian Beliefs and his "Creepy Nature".I didn't want to talk about Brandon in that respect.I am friends with Brandon on Facebook and get a much different take on who he is.It really came down to I was really disappointed in CBS for his edit and the character they made him out to be.We are now a few episodes in and we seem to have at least moved past the Creepy part anyways.I liked Brandon in his painted bra this week though and I'm sticking to the being past the Creepy part ... lol.

Ozzy The Tree Climber

A very confident looking Cochran.

Now on to Ozzy and his Big Move or as I may call it Cochran and his Big Move.Everyone in Survivor land is all a buzz about Ozzy having his tribe vote him out just so that he can possibly beat Christine at Redemption Island and come back to the game helping his tribe in the number game as the merge approaches.As a hardcore Survivor fan and analyzer I Love me some Ozzy but you all know how I feel about returning players.They shouldn't be returning.So ... Why do I find myself wanting Ozzy to beat Christine and Return to the game.Well ... Because The move is so out there that I want to see it work and I want to see the drama that might result which leads me to another one of my favorite Characters from this season Cochran.Ozzy left his Hidden Immunity Idol in the hands of Cochran.Will Cochran give it back if Ozzy does return?I want to know and to know this Ozzy must return.Stephen Fishbach awarded Ozzy the fishy for his Big Move but I think Cochran came away the Big Winner.He not only has the Idol but also has Ozzy's trust.Ozzy would never have given him the Idol if he didn't trust him more than any of the others on their tribe.I knew the moment I saw Cochran that their was something.He is awkward and weak and doesn't fit in but their he is half way into the season holding the Idol as the merge is about to happen.I have noticed with Cochran he is more comfortable walking around with his shirt off as the pic I posted of him shows.No shirt and Confident.I remember my first post of season where he was afraid to disrobe to his undies in front of the others.He has come a long way.Just how far we have yet to learn.

SURVIVOR CONTESTANT JOHN COCHRAN OVERCOMES FEARS ON LAST NIGHTS SEASON OPENER

I wasn't sure if I would blog much this Survivor Season.I never know it just sorta hits me or doesn't.I watched the first eppy last night and was delighted they spent so much time letting us get to know so many of the contestants.It looks like a great season ahead and I am hooked.Ozzy ended up on the tribe I wanted him on but I am now thinking after seeing the opening that he should have been on the other tribe to have a shot at the big money.He has played before not once but twice so getting the big bucks wouldn't be right anyways.

My heart tugged for Cochran last night.He really is out of his comfort zone and I can say this in the kindest way He will not win.I do hope he sticks around.I'm not through watching him yet.It was exciting to watch him disrobe and squirm about the other contestants seeing him in his translucent state.Some people wear "Pale" well and Cochran is one of them.He was the last one out of his clothes and his tribemates cheered him on as he entered the water.Cochran grew from this experience I have no doubt.Cochran is already a winner as he shot down one of his biggest fears.Then the immunity challenge rolls along and Cochran again shows a weakness in strength.We are learning he is Nerdy , he is Pale and he is not that Strong Physically.Cochran gets another big fear out of way.It can only get better from here.I am rooting for him to grow and overcome.

MARK CARUSO : He’s an openly gay “bear” and has retired from his New York morgue detective duties to become a male nurse and now a CONTESTANT ON SURVIVOR

I MENTIONED THIS CAST HAD A STRONG SLATE OF FEMALE CONTESTANTS and THESE 2 ... ELYSE and SOPHIE are SURVIVOR STRONG

Sophie Clark

Elyse Umemoto

A SNEEK PEEK OF SHIRTLESS OZZY WEARING NOTHING BUT HIS UNDIES ON THIS SEASON OF SURVIVOR WHICH STARTS TONIGHT

SURVIVOR SOUTH PACIFIC season 23 starts this coming WEDNESDAY sept 14

John Cochran

Keith Tollefson

Brandon Hantz

Albert Destrade

Ozzy and Coach are the returnees.You know how I feel about returnees they have an unfair advantage since they are Survivor Careerest.That being said ... I love OZZY.It's just as a Survivor Purist I feel everyone should be equal when the game starts.Fresh Newbies.So while you survivor fans are watching Ozzy and Coach I will have my eyes on ...........John , Keith , Brandon and Albert.I think John and Keith start out as tribemates on Team Savaii and then Brandon and Albert are together on Team Upolu.I'm hoping Ozzy is on the Savaii Tribe.We will find out Wednesday.I think it's going to be a great season.Oh this season seems to have one of the strongest female grouping in a while.Their are a couple of girls that I am excited for as players.I will let you know about them before Wednesday most likely.

... and the cast of Survivor 23 is

From left to right: Front row: John Cochran, Elyse Umemoto, Mikayla Wingle, Albert Destrade Back row: Dawn Meehan, Keith Tollefson, Semhar Tadesse, Mark Caruso, Whitney Duncan, Jim Rice, Sophie Clarke, Edna Ma, Rick Nelson, Christine Shields Markoski, Stacey Powell and Brandon Hantz.Survivor Photo: Montry Brinton/CBS© 2011 CBS Broadcasting Inc. ©2011 CBS Broadcasting Inc. The cast is also rumored to have 2 players that have played before Coach Wade and Ozzy.

CBS WILL ANNOUNCE THE CAST FOR SURVIVOR 23 IN THE NEXT DAY OR TWO BUT IF IT'S TRUE THAT KEITH TOLLEFSON IS ONE OF THEM I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO ROOT FOR HIM TO WIN AT LEAST UNTIL HE GETS HIS TORCH SNUFFED OUT OR HIS BUFF TOSSED IN THE FIRE

I'm also liking this Alberto Destrade now going by Albert and John Cockran and of course what Survivor Fan doesn't love some Ozzy.

CONGRATULATIONS ROB MARIANO for winning SURVIVOR REDEMPTION ISLAND with added shirtless pics of him and Matt Elrod

I didn't talk about Survivor much this past season which Rob Mariano just won.I had wanted him to win in his first outing on Survivor.This was his fourth time playing.It is no secret that I am totally against players returning for a second chance or a third or a fourth so please Jeff lose Russell Hantz"s phone number.If you watched last nights finale you will understand.Anyways I am happy Rob finally won and I have always enjoyed watching him play even though I would prefer fresh faces each and every time.Matt Elrod was my other favorite player of this season.I would have loved to see Matt win that last duel and return to the game and eventually sit next to Rob in the finale.I think the vote would have been much closer and possibly a different outcome.Their was only two players in my opinion that deserved to win this season and that would be Matt and Rob.My heart ached for Matt as I watched him endure nearly a month of loneliness at Redemption Island but he seems to have come away from it in glorious fashion.Rob was hard on Matt and hard on him more than once so it's great to see them in friendly embrace.

PHILLIP SHEPPARD the former federal agent ? is his own man and sports some SPIFFY ORANGE / PINK UNDERWEAR

... and then their was this whole Grant Mattos and Barefoot Matt Elrod both shirtless making Wood together

RALPH KISER rubs MIKE CHIESL butt on the First Episode of Survivor Redemption Island

The new season of Survivor started this past Wednesday and I had told myself I wouldn't blog about it like I did last season.The only reason I wrote so much about last season was the Jud the Stud love thing.Things changed this morning when I saw the pic of Ralph Kiser playing buttsies with shirtless Mike Chiesl.

After many hours of boredom and many gifs woven together of Shirtless Judson Birza and his The Hamster Dance

One of my favorite pics of Judson Birza that I never posted.Very Shirtless and Butt partially showing.

JUDSON JOHN BIRZA the mug shot that shook the survivor world

ON THE NEXT EDITION OF SURVIVOR THIER IS A JUDSON BIRZA LOOK-A-LIKE / REPLACEMENT BY THE NAME OF MATTHEW WYATT ELROD

JUDSON JOHN BIRZA the fabio stud WINS SURVIVOR in a very close vote 5-4

It has been a strange adventure.When BB12 came on I said to myself and others Hayden was going to win and he did.He was not my favorite player , Matt was.Survivor was revving up and I started checking to see who all the castaways were going to be and I said again to all my friends Judson was going to win.The difference this time was as the game started and progressed Judson John Birza grew on me.He became my favorite and I couldn't stop blogging about him.Judson won Survivor tonight and you could say I knew it all along.I would never have spent so much time talking about him and rooting for him to expect any other out come.I usually am bad at picking the winners , but not this year.Tears rolled down my cheek , when he got choked up at his final tribal council talking about family and how his love of family and his mom helped motivate him to push ahead to the final ,  when he was really down and out at that point.He was going home unless he stepped it up.Then I teared up again when they announced he was indeed the sole survivor.I was so happy for him.I felt he really deserved it.He is such a positive force and we need more of that in the world.I hope I didn't irritate him to much by blogging about him so much.I apologize to him if I did.Congratulations Judson!
