Their attempts have been thwarted, however, by Cochran's desire to adapt and overcome his physical shortcomings to prove his worth and please the tribe. So far his progress has been primarily measured by his ability to slice coconuts, but he is no less moving forward with an ambitious tenacity to assimilate knowledge even the Borg would have to stop and admire. That, coupled with an extremely keen ability to deflect elimination, has kept our nerd champion in the ring week after week using his own sheer self-deprecating charm and survivalist nerd wit to sway the tribe.
Nerdsburgh's spotlight on "Cochran," the latest nerd to rock prime time TV, after the jump:
If Survivor was an audience participation game like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars I'd say "Cochran" has a great chance of wooing under appreciated nerds across America to champion his cause and win against the strength and popularity of "all the pretty people" on the show.But, alas, he is on his own. A nerd island unto himself, the onus is on his shoulders to prove his worth and show all of America that a nerd can "Outwit, Outplay and Outlast" the others. While we can't help you Cochran, we can certainly root for you and continue to watch as you move further along to the end.
From all of us here at Nerdsburgh.com, good luck! Viva La Nerd Revolution!

not only nerds are rooting for cochran. take a look around...
I'm not saying that all fans of Cochran are nerds or that all nerds are fans of Cochran. What I am saying is that for someone like me, and I consider myself a nerd, it is refreshing to watch a player that I can relate to.
It's fun to root for the underdog and I don't doubt that every week he stays on the island his popularity will continue to increase, whether you're a nerd or not.
Changed my mind now. No longer cheering for him.. What a coward.
I think Jim and Ozzy would totally agree with you and it's possible that Cochran just blew any chance he had to win the million dollars. (History has shown that Survivors jurors don't vote for "flippers.")
However, Cochran's big moves are what is most compelling about Survivor this season and, I don't know about you, but I am anxious to see how his "tribe jump" is going to play out.
So, not a great move for him...but the television execs are spinning with glee in their fancy leather desk chairs this morning.
He's a right hair parter...not surprising he gets so much flack - its not just his physical limitations, but total lack of social grace within his peer group...classic behavior from a right parter.
Apparently, the side a person parts their hair on can say a lot about their personality and ability to interact with others:
"A man who parts his hair on the right, and who is striving for positive assessment in a traditionally male role is at risk for having difficulties in interpersonal relationships, since he is sending a mixed, subconscious message by emphasizing the activities of the brain traditionally attributed to femininity."
