    I loved the "I always get what I want" line from Colton. Really? He didn't come off that way at all.
    Figure Christina or one or two of the younger guys is most likely to flip. And the blonde girl's reaction to hearing about appendicitis was classic. I bet she thinks its something she could catch in the jungle.
    A weird season so far, with many of the weaker players still around and four of the stronger players gone. Usually makes for more interesting episodes - who can forget Dreamz.

    I hope Colton gets invited to go on this season of Big Brother. Yes, I think he's a vile human being. But he has a personality, something so many reality show contestants lack.

    I don't consider what Colton has a personality so much as a major character flaw.

    Which is considered a good thing on Reality TV.

    I like the tall sport girl who had her hair in braids a lot ... um... I can't remember her name or what she does. She seems to be the brains of the girls side.

    And I like Jonah. He's definitely kind of dorky, but as despicable as Colton his, I think Jonah played that relationship pretty well. He was close enough to probably not get blindsided, to make at very least the final five (if things had continued to go Colton's way), but not close like Alica was close, to where not that Colton's got, she appears to be toast.

    Troyzan, also, seems like he might be a good player. We're just getting to the point now where those kind of people will start to emerge.
     
  8. To have a personality, one must be a person. Colton is just an oversized sack of sh*t.

    Do people on the island know Troyzan is a SI swimsuit photographer? If that comes out in conversation he might be toast.

    After finally watching this week's episode, I have a hard time determining who is the more horrible person: Colton or Alicia.

    Was great to watch Alicia shit when she realized Colton was leaving and keeping the idol. Glad to see the All Colton, All The Time season of Survivor come to an end, although I have no doubt he will be back on some future season.

    He was this season's Cochran, endless face time for someone with no social or physical game. He is a vile, clueless human being, I have no idea how he will survive in the real world.

    See, I disagree with this comparison.

    I hated Colton as much as anyone seems to*, but the guy had control of the game. He made his team volunteer to go to Tribal Council, for heaven's sake. He was acting like a complete and utter jackass and had absolutely zero chance of going home in last night's episode. He had pretty good prospects entering the merge, too, and there wasn't ever a hint that anyway was piecing together a move to take him out.

    It looked like he had the chance to run the game the way Rob and Coach have in the two previous seasons, though with a decidedly more jackass tint. THAT'S what made me hate him so much. He WAS good, and he was very, very, very aware of that fact, and showcased it in the most jackass ways possible. I don't know if he could have won, but he was definitely on track for a deep run.

    Cochran made one pivotal move, but even in his biggest moment, he was the puppet. Colton, even at his worst moment (at least since the guy's first tribal), was the puppeteer.


    *The Survivor Facebook page posted a question earlier: What was your favorite part of last night's episode? Every single one of the 100 responses I read said "Watching Colton cry and get his ass hauled out of the game." Hilarious.
