An "Insider" Look at Survivor: Cook Islands, Episode 6 – Kicking and Screaming

Ozzy says he'll exploit every advantage he has on the tribe. Yul is one advantage he has, because he's a confidante. He made a move after Cecilia was voted out. He bitched about it the night before, but went up to Jonathan and Yul and told them he didn't have an alliance any more. He told them he's a free agent now and told them whoever was straight up with him would get honesty back. Yul told him how the girls are voting tonight, and he appreciates that. Ozzy thinks he needs to stay in good with Sundra and Candice because if they understand their food is going bye-bye, they might think twice about voting him out. He's here to play a game and he'll be as nice as he can about it, but he's here for the game.

From his words, Ozzy obviously trusts Yul. Yul seems to have insinuated himself into all the factions on his tribe. He's a strong, quiet guy and he's got the hidden immunity idol. It's hard to imagine Yul not making it at least to the merge at this point in the game. Ozzy's playing the provider card pretty hard right now. It's not a bad card, and he's obviously an asset to his tribe, but his skills also put a target on his back because, as Jonathan noted, he could be quite a threat when it comes to individual immunity.

Tribal Council: Aitu

Jonathan votes for Cao Boi. “You're a good guy, but you talk too much. And in a game where they're throwing twists at us all the time, I think I have to take any wild card out of the game that I can. Good luck to you.”

Sundra votes for Cao Boi. I'm sorry. I just feel like you started telling too many lies around camp and it made a depressing (?) atmosphere and it was too hard to work with you.”

Flica votes for Jonathan. She then whispers so softly that her words are completely unintelligible to me. Sort of like her hair.

Ozzy votes (obviously reluctantly) for Cao Boi. “Sorry man. Strategy. We sacrificed Cecilia and now we have to sacrifice you. It's the only way to get to Jonathan. You probably understand.”

Cao Boi votes for Candice. “I hope we all stick with the plan and we can expose the queen... (garbled)... whoever has the immunity idol. Let's hope it comes out.”

Yul votes for Cao Boi. “Cao Boi, I'm really sorry to be sending you home. You're such a fascinating guy and you've done so much with your life and I've definitely grown to admire and respect you. But, for me, after you turned on Becky and tried to vote her out in the last Tribal Council, I just realized I couldn't put my faith in you, I couldn't trust you. You're so unpredictable. I feel that I can't put my future with you. I wish you the best of luck with your family and kids and hope you live a wonderful life. Thank you.”

Becky votes for Cao Boi. “The fact that you basically flipped so quickly, went behind my back, then tried to get the whole tribe to vote me out at the last Tribal Council. After that, I lost complete trust in you. That's why I'm voting for you.”

Candice votes for Cao Boi. “Cao Boi, I'm voting for you tonight for two reasons. One, because you're always trying to get me out. And two, because you drive me nuts.” Snork.

Tribal Council: Raro

Jenny votes for Cristina. “Cristina, I know you won't believe me, but I'm sorry.” This sentiment may be overshadowed by the gun Jenny draws shooting at Cristina's name. I've got to say, considering Cristina was seriously wounded by a gun and her father was killed by one, that this may be the most tasteless Tribal Council vote I've seen. If she meant it at a joke, she needs to stop making jokes.

Rebecca votes for Cristina. “I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, but we decided as a group that it was still going to be you. Take care and I wish you all the best.”

Adam votes for Cristina. “You're a nice woman. You're a great girl. But our tribe is stronger without you.”

Parvati votes for Cristina. “Just trying to get our team back on track.”

Brad votes for Jenny. “I don't trust you.”

Cristina votes for Jenny. “I just don't like people who are rude and manipulative.”

Except for Brad, the Raro tribe seemed united in their vote for Cristina. Which is fine. But Jenny's vote really left a bad taste in my mouth. It was uncalled for.
