Oh well, he's gone now, but that was very strange. I sorta can't believe Aitu threw the challenge this soon.

Me either! I was kinda hoping all the chics got together and voted out Ozzy. That would have been so funny. Ozzy thinks he knows everything and a bit too bossy. But after Billy said he was in love with that girl I was like wwwwell maybe I wouldn't want that wierdo on my tribe. Hidden immunity idol found! Hopefully it comes into play this time unlike last season.

Yep, Billy was an odd character. I wondered why they showed his conversation with the other girl. It all made sense at tribal. Or did it? LOL
You had to wonder if he ever watched Survivor in the past! To go on the show and then not even help out, at all - well, you are asking to be voted off! Geez.....heavy metal was his whole identity. Maybe he was ahead of his time? Maybe they'll have a music related one? Or tribes of atheletes, musicians, doctors, lawyers, artists? LOL Naw.......he's a little nuts.

I found it to be a highly entertaining episode. 
I didn't think Ozzy was bossy, but I thought that of the the policewoman. Her plan to catch the chickens was ridiculous, yet she appeared quite annoyed that Ozzy's plan worked.
Billy was such a slug that I wonder both how he managed to make it that far into the game, and why he was chosen as a contestant in the first place.
What a hoot to see Jeff's reaction to the "I'm in love" statement! Does Candice know about this? 
As for throwing the challenge in order to vote off Billy, I think it was a clever solution to the problem. He was pretty much an anchor that had to be hauled around, contributing nothing to the tribe. I think they'll be better off without him.
Just my opinions, mind you!

Yeah, actually throwing the challenge was def. a huge risk, becuase as everyone knows, things don't always work out according to plan, especially living with people and always being around people, opinions of them constantly change and everyone can easily be influenced.
I'm sure Billy is a nice person, he just wasn't meant for the game.

How did anyone as unstable as Billy appears to be get through the screening and casting process? That was the most uncomfortable TC I can remember watching.
Go Yul! After the first episode, I was also pulling for Ozzy (since he looks a little bit like that sweet, gorgeous Bobby Jon) but -- after the second episode -- no mas. He may look good like Bobby Jon and he may be a hard worker like Bobby Jon, but Bobby Jon would have never thrown a challenge. Bobby Jon also would not have been a complete jerk.

Interview with Billy, on TV Guide's website. One quote: "Well, I was starving for affection and she [Candice] gave me some affection, ya know, the best affection I've ever had." LOL!

Survivor's Billy Discusses His Odd Love Life
by Angel Cohn
When Jeff Probst promised one of the strangest romances in reality-TV history on Survivor: Cook Islands, he wasn't lying. During last Thursday's tribal council, Aitu team member Billy Garcia told Probst out of the blue that he'd fallen in love at first sight with Candice (from the Raro tribe), and that during the immunity competition they'd mouthed the words "I love you" to each other. Strange. This, compounded by the fact that Billy's team banded together to throw the challenge in order to vote him out, made for a bizarre evening all around. No wonder Probst was flabbergasted. TVGuide.com spoke with Billy the morning after his eviction to find out more about, well, everything.
TVGuide.com: Being on a deserted island is a lot different than being in New York.
Billy Garcia: It always looks easier on TV, then when you get out there you have no tools to work with.... That's always a tough thing to overcome, and it's a lot of trial and error if you have no experience. I made the assumption that we were all in that situation, like on any other season of Survivor, where you'd have a lot of urban people. It just so happened that we had someone with an unprecedented amount of outdoor skills in Ozzy, so it was really easy for him to single me out and make me look like a fool.
TVGuide.com: What was your first reaction when you saw the way the teams were split up?
Billy: Immediately, and to this day I still have the same reaction: great for Survivor, terrible for me as a player. I still have that reaction, to where I knew I was gonna be the outcast in my tribe, that I wasn't, like, a traditional Latino. I chose heavy metal to be my culture and knew that people would perceive that as white music, not Latino music, and be [worried] that I would switch sides or whatever. I knew that was going to happen, but there was nothing I could do.
TVGuide.com: Was that why Ozzy was out to get you?
Billy: I think that, because he knew that he had painted me in a corner, I'm pretty sure he felt, "OK, he has no other move but that." I don't think he realized that I was trying to work it with the ladies on the tribe.
TVGuide.com: But you didn't make any comments like, "Oh, I'm going to jump sides as soon as I get a chance" or anything like that.
Billy: No, that would be even dumber than throwing a challenge. No, I never made a comment to any of the players at all.
TVGuide.com: For a minute there it looked like the Aitu gals were going to switch and vote out Ozzy.
Billy: I really worked Cristina well, but Cecilia was the key. Cecilia actually blew an opportunity to take over that tribe; if she had voted Ozzy out, she and Cristina had control of our end of the game. I'd have been at their mercy as well. But they saved my butt. I'd have gone along with anything they wanted. I'd be happy to do it.
TVGuide.com: You had a great parting line when you mentioned how cool it was that a heavy-metal guy got voted out by a guy named Ozzy.
Billy: Well, even though Metallica's the master of puppets, Ozzy's like the master of puppets on Survivor: Cook Islands. I'm the very happy-go-lucky guy, even though in this particular game I hit the lowest point in my life when I was, like, stabbed in the back by everybody. Despite that, I just can't help, in my happy-go-lucky nature, to find some silver lining.
TVGuide.com: I don't think this Ozzy's going to bite the head off a bat or anything, though — unless he gets really hungry.
Billy: No, we caught a lot of food out there. Maybe a little too much.
TVGuide.com: It really does seem like there was a surprising amount of food this season, with the chickens and the fish....
Billy: Absolutely, which hurt my strategy completely. I found out that first day that Ozzy had all these [outdoor] skills, and I [couldn't] play with him in that area, so my next strategy was to make do with what I had.
TVGuide.com: Did you eat a lot before you went?
Billy: I ate a lot leading up to Survivor, but on the day we had to leave I did not eat a lot. That was on purpose because I knew we were going to be boated out there, and I'm glad I didn't because, of the 20, 12 were hurling chunks the entire trip. I did the smart thing and did not have a big breakfast.
TVGuide.com: So was that — your only time with Candice —when your love connection began?
Billy: That's where I started thinking to myself, "If there's ever a merge, outside of the game I'd like to get to know her, just as her.” I like to relate this to when somebody is starving for food: You give them some crumbs, it's like the best crumbs they've ever had. Well, I was starving for affection and she gave me some affection, ya know, the best affection I've ever had. So what would have been maybe a little crush or maybe not even that — like maybe a, "Hey let's get some coffee in the real world" — turned into this whole big, "OK, I love you."
TVGuide.com: So are you waiting for her to get kicked off to, you know, see what happens?
Billy: I don't want anybody that I care about to get kicked off. I hope either she goes to the end, or Yul or Cristina. But the finale, I'm definitely going to go talk to her. I understand it was really goofy the way it all came off, but we'll laugh about it and from there, who knows?
TVGuide.com: What did you think of Jeff's shocked reaction? I mean he's been saying, prior to the show, this Survivor had one of the oddest romances…
Billy: [Laughs] In reality-TV history? Well, his reaction had two effects. One, it provided me one of my favorite memories of being out there, and two, it woke me up to how goofy it really was. I enjoyed Jeff's reaction. He was respectful of it. He ended up winning beaucoup points with me.
TVGuide.com: So when did you realize that your tribe threw the challenge on purpose?
Billy: Before the challenge I had suspicions just because of their body language and stuff, but I thought I was being paranoid because in Survivor you tend to get paranoid, but then during the challenge it became extremely evident. I mean, we were down to a snail's pace — I'd literally go up to untie something and I'd get pulled down — so it got to where I didn't want to climb up again so I didn't get pulled down and break my neck. And the whole move with Yul was brilliant, that I got to send the smartest guy, the most likely guy to find the immunity idol [to Exile Island]. And then it turns out he did find the immunity idol. I'm like, "This is like sweet revenge." You know that's gonna come bite [Aitu] in the butt.

It's been in the CBS promos so I don't think it's really a spoiler.
See it only last 2 weeks, so what is the point really? They should keep them in 4 groups for at least 4 weeks, and then merge into 2.
Agreed. Now it's back to the old Survivor(which I am beginning to get tired of).

Each Survivor "season" I have faves and not so faves. It's rare when I can't stand a contestant. That said, I just cannot stand to listen to that chick named Pavarti. All that blatant flirting is not easy to watch! I hope she's voted out soon but you watch, she'll charm one of key players and somehow manage to stay in the game.
And poor Billy - the love he felt was not returned! Yikes, even if he was nuts you had to feel for him. He will be so embarrassed to attend the reunion!
Anyone else annoyed by Pavarti? What a dingy girl. We keep saying her name reminds us of Havarti cheese!

I enjoyed the way they made up the 2 new teams. For a minute I thought they were just remaking 4 as men and women. That would have been cool.
Mary: I am not as annoyed by Pavarti as I am Ozzy. There is just something about him the really erks me. I mean you can play like Pavarti is saying but you don't have to be so blatant about it, she is so obvious about it that it may just get her the boot.
