Survivor: One World

Didn't I read somewhere that Colton did not really have an appendicitis?

Troyzan was outplayed strategically by Kim in a big way.

She deserved to win, and I'm glad she did.

 

Pretty excited about the next season's twists though - three tribes and three returning players who were medically evacuated, I'm thinking the guy from Australia who fell into the fire, the guy who almost died during a challenge due to a low heart rate and someone else. I doubt it's Colton, he didn't look like a guy who just got back from playing the game (they've already shot the season), of course he might have been one of the first players cut.

 

I don't dispute Kim was clearly the superior player and there's no question that Troyzan got duped by her, setting up his exit weeks before he finally got booted.

That was obviously his big mistake, but he quickly realized what had happened and adjusted his strategy quite well, I thought.

I think Kim made an equal strategic blunder when she passed over Kat on the reward challenge. It probably should have given Troy the daylight to switch things up, however, everyone else was too stupid to see what was going on.

I think Troy is the best candidate to return for a future episode from this group of castaways.

 

I really hope Michael (the one that fell in the fire) is one of the guys to return. I really think that season would have been vastly different had he stayed around. To my recollection, dude had game.

 

A couple more quick thoughts for those that watched:

On the reunion, I found it interesting that Tarzan said his strategy was to use Colton as his "shield" and ultimately take him out after he'd successfully gotten rid of most of the others and alienated everyone in the process. Although he seemed crazy, I thought there were some clues toward the end of the show that Tarzan was a better player than I thought.

Also, Mike's performance at Tribal was also ridiculous. He went after Kim and told her she didn't "account" for taking the blame for voting people off. Um, Mike, I'm pretty sure she'd call it taking credit for those eliminations, you know like a "strategy" that would help her win. At least he voted for her in the end, I believe.

Disappointed in Troyzan voting for Sabrina, too. How the hell did Sabrina get two votes? Chelsea was more deserving than Sabrina. Hell, I'm a bit surprised Chelsea didn't get a vote from a guy just because she's such a smoke show.

 

Realityblurred.com says the three returnees are Michale Skulpin, who fell in the fire; Russell Swan, who collapsed during a challenge; and Jonathan Penner, who was evacuated from one of the all-star seasons.

The internets say it was a bacterial infection, not appendicitis.

 

Good for Kim. She was most deserving. I liken her performance to Yul Kwon's win.

Still think it's hysterical that Alicia thought she was running the game and had as much control as Kim did. She basically embarrassed herself this year. Probst should have asked her if she was still employed as a Special Ed teacher.

And please, no more Colton. Nothing about his "apology" came across as sincere.

 

I'm glad to see Skulpin return. That was a brutal exit. I don't remember the other two. I don't think I saw those seasons.

Glad Colton is not coming back.

 

Just read Probst's Q&A on EW.com and he said he thinks Colton will be back for a future. Please, no, make it stop.

 

Swan almost died, he was the leader of one of the tribes who just totally faded to black in a challenge. Penner is more of a character, it will be his third time on the show.

 

But her legs and butt were still pretty chunky too.
