Cochran screwed up big time. He had another option. When he told the other tribe that Ozzy had the idol and was going to use it on Whitney. He could have added "or he is going to use it on Keith. He is not sure which one until tribal council." That eliminates votes going Whitney and Keith's direction. The other tribe wasn't going to vote for Cochran, because there is the possibility that he has indeed flipped. So that leaves ONE option, Jim. Ozzy then uses the idol on Jim. They now have the numbers advantage. Thats the smart way to play it. Thats what Russell Hantz or Cirie would have done. Not backstab your tribe. Insuring that you have no way in hell of winning the game.
