Ha ha ha!! That's how I feel after last night's episode... Colton is gone. Unfortunately he didn't get blindsided or fall victim to strategy from other players, he got medi-vacced with acute appendicitis.
Now you may have noticed I didn't update last week. I tried. But I couldn't write a summary without expressing my personal feelings about Colton. And I wasn't alone... the CBS blogs were loaded with comments from fans that despised Colton, and even said they couldn't watch the show anymore because of Colton. There has never been such a negative reaction to a Survivor contestant in the 24 seasons of the show!
So, to recap- last week Jeff Probst dropped a bomb when the tribes were re-formed. As luck would have it we wound up with a young, strong tribe and a weak tribe of misfits (led of course by Colton). Probst called the two new tribes "the mighty and the scrawny". The strong tribe won immunity, and for the second week in-a-row Colton engineered the removal of the tribe-mate he disliked most... bye bye Monica (one of the strongest members of the weak tribe by the way).
On to this week. We join our crew of castaways as Colton and Alicia are repeatedly telling Christina that she's the next one to go, for no reason other than she's the person on the tribe that Colton dislikes most. Aha, if you had any doubts before you now know that Colton and Alicia are truly nasty human beings! Not nice people!
At reward challenge, the mighty tribe wins and gets to spend an afternoon gorging themselves on Ice Cream and all the toppings you can imagine!
And then... Colton got sick. He got all headachey and complained of terrible pains in his stomach. The medics arrived, diagnosed appendicitis, and took him away. And just to prove one last time that Colton was always all about Colton, he told his tribe he was keeping his immunity idol as a souvenier (instead of giving it to someone he might help). Ha ha ha.
Sooooo.... both tribes were called to tribal council, the mighty were informed about Colton, there was no need for a vote, and Probst told them to drop their buffs because they were merged.
Sooooo... one tribe, everyone battling for him or her self from here on, and no Colton (see picture) to manipulate and get his way (and roll his eyes). Game on! Survivor just got a lot better!
