Ozzy is pretty clear that he wants Cochran gone. Cochran is trying to convince people that Elyse should go. He wants to split up Elyse and Ozzy. Jim believes he can get Keith to vote with him against Elyse. It takes Jim about 30 seconds to convince Keith to vote with him. Keith is nervous because he made an alliance with Ozzy and now he feels if he votes Elyse out then they will blindside Ozzy. Whitney is also worried she wants to keep her alliance with Ozzy.
