It’s episodes like “Running the Show” that frustrate me. They build a lot of suspense about a potentially huge move in the game only to fall flat. I hate being teased by some of the ideas presented in this episode.
For Whitney and Dawn to advance in the game, Albert, Sophie, and Cochran had to agree to bring them into their little group and turn the game on its head by voting out Edna, Coach’s little robot. Albert’s opinions of Edna were spot-on. I was holding out hope that he would pull the trigger, so to speak, and make the big change to the game that he and everyone else threw out there for viewers to salivate over.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, Albert, Cochran, and Sophie elected not to go down that path. I don’t have a clue as to how their tribe is going to act in the future. They’re out of enemies now so they’ll have to turn on one another.
Cochran may very well be the first since he’s not really considered to be part of Coach’s old tribe. Perhaps Cochran will pull a rabbit out of his proverbial hat and find a way to keep himself in the game and see that someone else goes to Redemption Island.
Cochran’s future certainly lies within Coach’s responsibility. We know that Coach has become close to both Edna and Cochran but it’s not clear just how far he’d be willing to go to save either one of them.
Despite Ozzie’s high level of self-confidence, I wish I could remind him to be careful of where he walks and swims. A single cut to his feet on the beach or on the coral could really spell disaster. He’s a phenomenal competitor. I’d hate to see him go down because of an injury.
