All the team in the lead has to do is to deal with the problem. Just block their view with your body and knockdown your completed puzzle after you are done! <br /><br />Why is Colton running the show? The same reason why it takes ages before a brave soul starts a revolution against a tyrant. The fear and risks of failure is squarely on you alone, while the benefits are shared and not immediate (unless you are the one on the chopping board). To flush out an idol, you need to have a majority alliance first, otherwise it is just easier for everyone else not on the chopping board to follow the crowd.<br /><br />I mentioned before players who do not play to win the million but are contented to finish second are dangerous as they make unpredictable decisions. Ditto for stupid players. Let me now add that players who do not even play the game but are just on Survivor for camera time are even more dangerous, as they make irrational decisions based on their whims and fancies. Hopefully, more future players will see this and vote them out first so that we are left with all the smart and strategic players (ironically) for a more watchable and less hair-pulling season.Eudaemonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-589285859296004172012-03-09T09:05:35.896-05:002012-03-09T09:05:35.896-05:00"How arrogant and obnoxious was Colton in thi..."How arrogant and obnoxious was Colton in this scene?" How about the last two episodes! His comments about Leif and his awful behavior at Tribal Council were outrageous. I'd be surprised if his family isn't changing their names and moving to Alaska! I can't believe the other guys are letting Colton call the shots. And what can I say about Bill? good-hearted and a little goofy - "One love", bro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-4217056877968587972012-03-09T03:14:44.925-05:002012-03-09T03:14:44.925-05:00Happy Belated Birthday Sean!

Keep up the good work and thanks! As my favorite show, I've never missed a season of Survivor but I think this one has to be just about the worst largely due to Colton. He could be tolerated if there were other likable people on the cast but there is no one to root for at the moment. It's just not fun anymore, I feel more angry after watching it than glad. Just my 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-86795815594181374702012-03-08T08:48:12.215-05:002012-03-08T08:48:12.215-05:00NaOnka has met her match in Colton as the most dis...NaOnka has met her match in Colton as the most disgusting player ever, in my opinion. I can't wait for his eye-rolling and smug looks to shatter when he gets voted out (crossing my fingers it's next week).<br /><br />Bill took the high road at the end, which only solidifies the difference in character between him and Colton.<br /><br />I'm enjoying this season a lot, especially now that the women's team has won some challenges, and men's team seems to be imploding.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563142738245530462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-54597746245182670292012-03-08T07:48:56.689-05:002012-03-08T07:48:56.689-05:00You really don't know why they didn't show...You really don't know why they didn't show the women NOT making the deal with Jonas (even though they obviously did per the press pics)?

I now officially cannot stand that conceited, self-centered, spoiled brat. Most of the time I want to reach through the screen and smack him.<br /><br />I think race was a perfectly valid issue to bring up at Tribal Council, because Bill's race absolutely influences Colton's dislike of him -- as you pointed out, Sean, Colton referred to Bill as "ghetto trash"! He obviously sees Bill as beneath him, both because of his race and his economic status. Colton's comments like "I would never associate with someone like him in real life" are just reprehensible. Guess what, Colton -- this is Survivor, not your country club! One of the points of the game is to put together people from different walks of life to see how they interact! And guess what else -- there's a whole big world out here, and eventually you're going to have to have dealings with people who aren't like you! (And not as your gardener or housekeeper.) Grrrrr! I'm sorry for ranting, but that little snot just makes my blood boil! (And Sean, I completely agree that I was hoping they'd blindside the heck out of him!)<br /><br />As for the episode's other issues, I hope Jeff is right that Colton's "let's give up Immunity so we can vote out Bill" idea will turn out to be one of the dumbest moves in Survivor history. And did you notice that Jeff actually encouraged the women to look at the men's completed puzzles?<br /><br />P.S. Happy Birthday!

Colton disliked Bill because of the way he talked and carried himself. Remember last week when every second word out of Bill's mouth was "bro"? Not trying to defend Colton but he disliked Bill because of the threat he was to Colton and because of his personality- not because he is black. <br /><br />I loved Jay in this episode and I laughed out loud at your comment about what Jay said and not making a Colton joke.<br /><br />Greg is really annoying, Kat just looks even more stupid in every episode and I wouldn't mind a date with Jay... I hope Jay, or someone, stands up to Colton soon. I'm going to punch Colton in the head if he rolls his head back along with his eyes one more time. Grow up.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Uncle Sean! <br />Thanks for a great recap :)Emma Furfaronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-27595799883388731922012-03-07T23:43:45.475-05:002012-03-07T23:43:45.475-05:00I completely agree that it would have been the BES...I completely agree that it would have been the BEST blindside ever if they would have voted Colton, aka douchebag, off!
