> Wow. First good episode this season. I am sooooo on the bandwagon of not calling him “Coach”. I wouldn’t do it. You’re not my coach, asshole..

But…he’s gone by Coach since he was 18. His parents call him Coach! 😃

I’m betting there is no way his Mom does not call him Benjamin.

I bet his mom still calls him “Benny” pretty regularly.

I’ll bet his mom calls him “Bugsy.”

He has immunity, but I’m not sure if he’s told anyone. Their only hope would be that he didn’t play it, but he has to feel vulnerable now. So one tribal council just to flush out the immunity, another to make the vote stick. They might not get that many more chances before the merge.

I know he told Keith, who told Whitney. And I’m sure he told Elyse. Jim, I’m not sure, and I’m pretty sure nobody else was told.

> You guys pretty much took all my comments already, but I want to reiterate **StarvingButStrong** ’s point. Chickenshit move by Keith and Whitney. Ozzy won’t be dumb enough (would anyone be?) to fall for the “be weeeeeeee didn’t vote her out” line?

Thirded.

They’ve officially lost me as a viewer! ☹
