Did anyone else snicker as the scene ended with Ozzy in a “King of the Jungle” pose, poised atop a palm tree? </p> </p> <p>Back at the merged Te Tuna campfire, there is talk of a big move. Cochran, who would like to keep Dawn – and himself – competing a while longer, <a href=https://www.chneybtk8.online and Albert, who is looking ahead to when Upolu members must turn on one another, talk about uniting in a vote to get rid of Edna.

Albert has concluded that Coach will take Edna and Sophie to the finals and he wants to forestall that and shift the power away from Coach, who appears to be still (who would have guessed?) controlling the game.

They try to crack Coach’s core group by approaching Sophie, but in the end Dawn is voted out. In a surprise twist promised earlier by host Jeff Probst, there is a second challenge – an island trivia contest – held at Tribal Council and a second elimination. As expected, Whitney joins Dawn on a trip to Redemption Island.

So is Cochran, the only Savii not on Redemption Island, the next one to go? Or, will Coach engineer a shift to reward Cochran for his double dealing when the two tribes first merged? It was Cochran’s alliance with Upolu, you remember, that gave them the numbers to dominate the game.
