Survivor Caramoan Final Episode COCHRAN AWESOMENESS
Erik is kind of a baby. Just my opinion….
Have there ever been two weaker first overall picks than Eddie and Erik?
Isn’t an IV a PED? That’s bull honky. Is Erik out?!?!?! Holy crap. Just dehydration? That’s weird. I feel a bit bad over the amount I’ve slammed Erik. Eddie has a huge opening now, wow.
Brenda has to feel weird about this; if Erik had crashed like 40 minutes earlier she might still be in the game….
That’s a heck of an opening scene. Best night of Eddie’s life…
Erik and Survivor just don’t mix. Score now, you have 396.5, I have 195 but I have 3 people and you have 1.

Survivor Caramoan Episode 13 Recap
Do you think they plan a “falling apart” episode for everyone? Just save footage of people wigging out?
Wow Cochran became too big of a threat. Can’t deny he would win probably if he gets to the end. Brenda suddenly has a solid chance to win now that she is calling the shots.
On queue, here’s the Erik breaking down episode.
How is there an ice cream called magnum gold?

Survivor Caramoan Episode 12 Recap
I think I’m making a Cochran, stealth r us t-shirt. What was his nickname? I needs to Google. The Intelligence Attache.
How are Reynolds and Eddie still in? Mostly b/c Malcolm is an idiot. Eddie should have gone two weeks, and Reynolds last week…
I’m surprised people aren’t worried about the strong male competitors. Usually, Erik, Eddie, and Reynolds types are always kicked out around 8…no one wants them going on a run.
We should watch the finale together somehow. When is it?
I have no idea who is going to win. I guess it really comes down to these next challenges/moves. I don’t really see Brenda or Erik for that matter having a chance and probably not Eddie but the others do.
Maybe not Sherri….she hasn’t done much lately and nothing in the challenges.
This challenge has Brenda written all over it.
Eddie and Erik did what? What the hell is wrong with them? That was stupid. So stupid. The game is never kind to people who quite challenges.
Cochran, what the hell!?!?! Why……..why?

Survivor Caramoan Episode 11 Recap
Been a long time. Last episode I watched was amazing…but so long ago.
I still can’t believe Erik did that…what a jerk, why pour salt in the wound?
Not that it mattered, but still.
Remember when people would do crazy votes just to mess with people? That was superb.
Erik is being strategic? Whaa????
Cochran is in awe of the tribal. That’s fantastic. You can see how happy he is just to have taken part in it.
Brenda appears a lot more trustworthy than I thought she’d be.

Survivor Caramoan Episode 10 Recap
Last episode was awesome. I hear this one is pretty epic as well.
Got to give props to Andrea for last week. I thought she were off her rocker, but she was right.
Malcolm still has one idol up his sleeve, all he has to do is win some immunity challenges and he could be creative.
Dawn is, umm, special…she doesn’t have front teeth? Dawn got hit? That sounds traumatic. Go Brenda! She got Dawn’s vote if she makes it to the finals. CBS seemed to shoot this in a friendly way to dawn, good on them.
I love obstacle courses. “Bag of balls,” LOL.

Survivor Caramoan Episode 9 Recap
Malcolm can’t be that upset that Corinne went. She’s the only one who knows he has an idol, now they have two idols and are in decent shape.
Malcolm v Shepherd is pretty good TV.
Philip working on Sherri? Nice. Gives her tenacity…that’s hilarious! “I have to play the specialist game,” it’s hilarious. She’s just teasing Phil, poor guy. I like Sherri, not sure why but I enjoy the way she’s playing – no nonsense.
These seem like unfair teams….Sherri didn’t get picked…f that. Eddie, that was horrible!
Maybe orange has a chance?
I love Andrea.

The Elvis Andrus Rule for @TheFantasyFix
For some time, I’ve been bizarrely intrigued by Elvis Andrus. Once, he appeared to be the next Jose Reyes, a 100+ run, 40+ steal, fantasy behemoth. While he has been a sturdy fantasy performer, he has often put together great first halves that were never a prelude to greatness. For whatever reason, people seem unaware that Andrus does a Jekyll and Hyde routine in the first and second halves of the season:
|
Split |
G |
PA |
R |
H |
2B |
3B |
SB |
CS |
BA |
OBP |
TB |
| 1st Half |
328 |
1413 |
201 |

.279 |
.347 |
444 |
| 2nd Half |

1192 |
142 |
285 |
44 |
10 |
42 |
23 |
.270 |
.337 |
370 |
Andrus has been caught stealing more times in the second half despite 36 less attempts—both the lack of attempts and success are disconcerting. With pretty close on base rates, the logical conclusion is that the rigors of a season wear Andrus down.

Survivor Caramoan Episode 8 Recp
19 days seems like a real long time to play survivor. I can understand, sort of, how some people crack. You ever see that Solitary show? It’s not great, but free on Hulu, they do some ridiculous things to people.
“I made sure I got the gay.” WTF. Make it stop.
Philip telling them that he threw the challenge? Man, it’s hilarious that everyone knows he didn’t actually throw it. “That’s around the same time you blew the challenge.” Got to give Corinne that one, t’was funny.
Francesca, in the opening credits, LOL.
20 days without cheese would be hard.

Survivor Caramoan Episode 7 Recap
Bikal fell apart the moment they made these bull corn teams. Do you think they drew them and seriously considering doing another draw? You couldn’t have made them more lopsided if you wanted.
I like Michael. He seems pretty smart. Tough deck he was dealt. If only he was on Corinne’s team from the jump. I’m not funny.
Philip isn’t an idiot. I mean what Corinne said at tribal and these conversations….Philip isn’t wrong here. I want Cochran’s take here. Where’s his interview? Not enough Cochran and Andrea this season, IMO.
I like Cochran’s pessimistic realism.
