Ok who is going to watch Survivor with me?

openheart - It might get better since Colton is gone. He brought a very negative attitude to the program.

Good point notself. Yet it was a young person that was the first to be voted off! She didn't hold her arms like she was told to as she dropped to the safety net and broke her wrist. Doi!!

I ache just watching the way they sleep in the damp and cold. I wouldn't last a night!!

I think the age difference is to bring life experience into the mix. How aboug an "older" camp against a "younger" camp? Challenges shouldn't just be physical, brains account for something. They don't do the brainy stuff until later on when they know players are weakened. 

Barbe, Kat made me laugh and laugh during TC by not knowing what or where an appendix is. Probst: "Colton has appendicitis." Kat: "OMG. What is that?" And then looking around fearfully like she thought that her appendix was going to attack her at any moment.

And I also wondered about the whole medical triage scene with Colton. It seemed forced somehow, like it was either staged to begin with or a reenactment filmed later. I also noticed that in his "day after" interview, Colton's shirt was back to its pristine minty freshness, which bugged me for some reason. Does he have a supply of those shirts?

Just read online that it actually wasn't appendicitis after all. Strange and stranger. Will the viewing audience ever find out what really happened?

Googled it: t'was an intestinal and stomach lining bacteria. Hmmmm. You'd think they'd be taking something for that, considering they're drinking the water and eating the flora!!!!

I still think he was asked to leave!!

"Why put up with the hardship of Survivor if he wasn't going to win?"

Ordinarily, I'd say he should have stuck it out because he might have been kept as a Final Tribal goat, and 2nd or 3rd place would be worth more money than he gets for bailing early. But if his ego would take a blow for not winning, I can see him faking an illness, as that would give him an excuse for not winning. "It was beyond my control! If I hadn't gotten sick, I totally would have won." Actually, he did say something like that in his "day after" interview.

Agreed. I wanted to wring his neck! But as someone taking advantage of circumstances, he didn't do what was best for him. And I'm fine with that, really. LOSER!

It was a bit disappointing. They started off showing Tarzan being completely clueless and irritating everyone. The pinnacle of that was when one of the girls (Chelsea?) had washed her bathing suit in the ocean, then came back to boil them to kill any germs. Tarzan walks up and tosses his disgusting undies in the pot, too. She tried to tell him to clean them in the ocean first, and then he claimed they had been. The crux of the thing were "skid marks" on his undies that he insisted was just dirt from sitting on the ground. Chelsea fished her own clothes out of the pot as quickly as she could and excused herself "to go puke for a minute". As she walked off, Tarzan plaintively asked her if she wasn't going to "tend the fire", i.e. "wash my poopy pants for me" and then bitched about how difficult SHE was being!

He then tried to horn in on the dwindling coffee supply that had been won by the other tribe prior to the merge. It was petty, but I enjoyed them telling him it wasn't his to share. Had he been nicer about it, they probably would have offered him some. When others tried to tell him he needed to make an effort to get along, he informed them he was a surgeon and that, in the OR, he was the "captain" and what he said, went.. They pointed out he wasn't the captain there and he made a remark about how he was usually right, implying they should just shut up and obey him.

He then picked a fight with Jonas about several things. Apparently, he hated Jonas because he was always arguing with or questioning him. He convinced the others to vote Jonas out because he was likable and strong, and thus a threat. Several questioned whether they should get rid of Tarzan instead, but in the end, they all voted for Jonas, who bizarrely voted for Michael and got Leif to vote for Michael as well.

Troyzan had a good week. He got up at the crack of dawn to look for the hidden immunity idol (replaced after Colton left with his) and found it. And then didn't tell anyone! Good Troyzan. Then Troyzan won the first individual immunity at the challenge, which involved balancing one, two, and then three balls on a round disc while standing on a log.

So I can only hope they're setting up Tarzan to be booted off soon. If he goes to the end, I'm going to hate watching him, as he seems to have filled the "asshole vacuum" left when Colton was medivacced out.

I like Kim and Sabrina best. Wouldn't mind Jay or Chelsea winning. Hate Tarzan and Alicia most. Troyzan can be annoying (pounding his chest and yelling, "This is MY island!" after his group won the reward (pizza and beer) and Leif seems to have no strategy at all. Kat's worthless, but at least she landed in a good alliance. And she doesn't seem to have a mean bone in her body, so there's that.

Oy, is Jay one of the dumbest or what? Blindly trusting the women even when they told him (about voting for Troyzan), "Would you tell him if we were?" Then he tells them Troyzan has an idol, so they switch the main vote to him instead of Troyzan! Good riddance, dummy!

I'd say that's already well underway. Troyzan seems to be the only one with a clue, so the bullseye is squarely on him, but I'd rather he somehow manage to scramble and stick around for awhile.

Oh, Lord! I forgot about that. It looked like a ladies top to me with one shoulder. He horrifies us with the man panties and now that top. LOL

That's true. They got down to 1 man left and started squabbling among themselves and Chris walked away with the whole thing. That's a good reason to make sure all the men are gone before they turn on themselves. If Troyzan gets to the final tribal council, there will be more men on the jury than women, and I think they'd be tempted to throw their votes to the only man left. But if he goes on an immunity run, the women may have to turn on themselves first, and it will be interesting whether that makes a difference in how the women on the jury will vote. So Troyzan may have a big influence on who wins whether he gets to the final TC or not.

ETA: I read somewhere that after the last episode aired, Troy was tweeting very uncomplimentary things about Kat, Alicia, and Christina for not taking the last opportunity to act when they could have had the numbers. Interesting he was more bitter about them than he was about Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina being "in charge" in the first place. I wonder if that's a hint about the mood of the jury?

I think Kim most deserves to win, too. But I'd also be happy if Sabrina or Chelsea won.

Is it finally going to be over??? I will be watching. I am glad that Kat is gone. She truly did act young and while maybe someone 'good' to take to final tribal she really wouldn't belong there IMO. I can't believe I was ever that young.
