Short re-cap from tonight's ep (dont read if you havent watched it yet & dont want to know!):

Colton had an acute appendicitis attack and had to be medevaced out to have surgery. The 2 tribes were told they were going to tribal so everyone on Colton's weaker tribe was scrambling, trying to figure out who to vote off next; while the stronger tribe speculated that since it was "One World," maybe that meant they could vote off someone from the other tribe.

At tribal council, Jeff updated everyone on Colton and then after chatting about how that can change the game, he told them all to drop their buffs because they were going to merge into one tribe and all head back to the "One World" camp.

So the 2 tribes have merged into one tribe of 12 --> 6 women and 6 men.

Game on.

~~~~~

While I feel badly for Colton, I am glad he is gone. He showed his ass there at the end and I think what happened to him was karma - not just because I didnt like him but because he was nasty to Christina, telling her that she could either wait 2 days to be voted out, quit and leave now, or jump in the fire and be medevaced out .... and then he was medevaced out the next day.

Also, I didnt see the merge coming so soon - that was a fun surprise.

appendicitis is NO fun...been there done that....

karma is a funny thing

that dude...was just plain a nasty fella, im glad he is gone.

what cracked me up was the young one...whats an appendix? *giggles*

all in all don't be a jerk to people karma will kick you in the ass!

I was left in shock when they merged...Alicia she is just plain nasty as well...her and colton's words are going to hurt her i believe...Christina has the 2 guys that were there listening to all that crap she has numbers where i don't think Alicia really does.

Parker · 03-22-2012, 09:46 AM

The sneak peak for next week looked like Tarzan left the men's alliance, so that might open the door for the women to gain the numbers - meaning they need Alicia, at least for now .... but I'd love to see her go as well. She was nasty to Christina from day one and once she got with Colton and had the numbers, she just let the nastiness fly.

Jonas pointed it out - he said them having the numbers and knowing they would vote Christina off next wasnt enough for them, they had to twist that knife in a little further and make it personal. Not cool - people like that dont win and they dont always last very long either.

And yeah, Kat wanting to know what an appendix was and how she could avoid hurting it was classic. lol - the look on her face as each person said they had theirs out also ... omg.

Yanno the ONLY bad thing about colton,s organ issue

was that his antagonistic arrogant ways were never given the opportunity for a SMACK DOWN!

He was being a real fuck head.

But I love that the dynamics have changed again.

More will be reveiled

Last night wasnt nearly as good as I was expecting it to be - but then again, I dont really know what I expected, so ... maybe just more back stabbing, blindsides, scrambling, etc. lol

After the merge last week, the tribe went back to the camp and had their merge feast and a few people did a bit of conversing and scrambling; but the overall feel for us, the viewers, was that the new Salani tribe (originally, all women, but then 4 women and 3 men) would stick together and vote off the new Manano tribe (originally all men, but then 3 women and 4 men), even though those in the new Manano tribe thought they were in the same original Manano alliance - meaning, all the men together.

They had a reward challenge where Jeff separated them into to groups of 6 and the winning group got to go have pizza and beer and learn that there was another immunity idol back at camp (keep in mind that Kim found a hidden immunity idol a few days ago and told only Chelsea).

The next morning, Troyzan, who said he is usually up a couple of hours before everyone else, went looking for and found the other hidden immunity idol - and, smartly, imo, told no one.

The immunity challenge was standing on a log, holding a tray with first 1, then 2, then 3 balls - last one left standing was Troyzan and the scrambling started.

The new Salani tribe decided to stick together and vote off Jonas, who was on the new (and old) Manano tribe, because they felt he was the biggest threat on that tribe. The women of the new Salani tribe liked this idea because (a) it's voting off a man and (b) it's voting off a new Manano tribe member so whether they stick with their new Salani alliance or their older female alliance, they were good.

During all of this, Tarzan wanted to wash his nasty-shit-stained (he claimed it was "dirt") drawers. While he was wandering around trying to convince people the stains in his drawers were dirt stains, Chelsea was off in the ocean cleaning her clothes and then adding a pot of water to the fire so she could then boil her clothes.

Tarzan decided to toss his nasty drawers into the the pot of water with Chelsea's clothes that she just scrubbed in the ocean which made mer remove her clothes from the pot - but not before offering to go wash Tarzan's clothes in the ocean for him before adding them to the pot.

This whole exchange irritated me because (a) Chelsea acted like it was her job to clean the dude's laundry and (b) Tarzan acted like it was anyone's job but his to clean his own damn drawers. Nasty nasty man.

Anyway at tribal, the shit hit the fan when Jonas talked about being a provider (he's good at fishing and is a chef, so he was able to cook some good food for them) and not a huge threat in immunity challenges and then threw Mike under the bus because he is a large and muscular man who could be a threat - he also mentioned how the new Manano tribe's plan of voting off Kat wasnt a good idea, which made his tribe/alliance raise their eyebrows at him.

This all pissed off Tarzan, who then decided he wanted to vote off Jonas since Jonas threw their plan to hell & he also went off, Tarzan style.

So basically, Jonas and Leif (the little dude) voted for Mike, but everyone else voted for Jonas. Jonas told Tarzan no hard feelings, but Tarzan said he still had hard feelings. After Jeff snuffed Jonas' fire, Jonas told them all good luck with the food and left.

Next week's preview looks like the women might be re-banding together to re-form their all woman alliance to vote off the guys ... we'll see.

Parker · 03-29-2012, 08:09 AM

While I was searching the internet for Survivor: One World cast so I could get the names right in my last post, I found an interview with Jeff about Colton and whether or not Survivor would ever bring him back .... he said no. lol

Will ‘Survivor’ Villain Colton Be Invited Back? Host Jeff Probst Answers… (<-- link to article)

What a difference an episode makes.

Over the course of one hour, “Survivor: One World” lost its reviled bully to a medical concern, cemented a new power alliance with an idol, and brought both tribes together with a last-minute merge.

So, with all of that going on, it seemed like the perfect time to check in with “Survivor’s” 74-time Emmy-award-winning host* Jeff Probst.

*Not mathematically accurate.

Gordon Holmes: The show just lost one of the most hated villains of all time last Wednesday when Colton Cumbie was removed from the game. Did you realize at the time how big of a bad guy was being carted off?

Jeff Probst: I had no idea how ugly Colton was being at camp. I saw one display at Tribal Council when he talked about “I have a black friend, a housekeeper, who I pay.” I didn’t realize how aggressive he was in treating people and how poorly he treated people. Colton is one of the few people I can recall where the audience just has a true dislike for. He’s different from Russell (Hantz) who you just might love to hate.

Holmes: Think we’ll see Colton again?

Probst: Russell you bring back. Colton, I don’t think you do. I can’t imagine celebrating Colton and bringing him back. But, I could be wrong on that.

Holmes: Some people love Russell, some people hate Russell. This Colton hatred seems pretty universal.

Probst: On one hand, Colton is honest. This is where he comes from, this is his truth. But, that doesn’t excuse it. And I think it would be hard to root for him to win the game ever. And I had no idea when he was evacuated how much people despised him. So, it’s always a little weird for me if I had known. Would I have had an attitude with him?

Holmes: I’m going to give you a quick compliment. Don’t be alarmed. But, I think one of your strong points is when it comes to racially charged Tribal Councils like with Bill and Colton this season or Phillip (Sheppard) and Steve (Wright) in “Redemption Island” you don’t take an attitude with people. Rather than breaking it down from your point of view and being, “You’re right” and “You’re wrong,” you seem to embrace the old writers’ adage that, “No villain ever thinks he’s wrong.”

Probst: Thanks.

Holmes: We’re twenty four seasons into this social experiment; do those put-it-all-out-there moments still excite you?

Probst: Any time somebody brings up differences in how they live or how someone looks or their race or their sexuality and they’re willing to talk about it, I get very excited. That’s the fabric of our society. That is what it’s all about, all of our differences. You think you’re right and I think I’m right and the truth could be somewhere in the middle. I don’t know, sometimes the truth is over on the left. So, I like having those discussions. It never surprises me.

Holmes: I’m at risk of having my “Survivor” press badge taken away for two reasons. First, I make Dream Teamers cry.

Note: Dream Teamers are the crack crew of talented, athletic youngsters who practice the show’s immunity and reward challenges.

Probst: Why?

Holmes: Because I beat them in challenges too often.

Probst: (Laughs)

Holmes: And second, I have no idea what’s going on with these twists. You bring out Redemption Island and my first instinct is, “There’s no way anyone can come back into the game and win.” Then it almost happens twice. A challenge goes a different way and Ozzy Lusth is a champion.

Probst: Yup.

Holmes: Matt Elrod and Andrea Boehlke could’ve been serious spoilers too. Then, you announce One World and my first instinct is, “This is great. We’re gonna have all kinds of inter-tribe mingling. I can’t wait.” Then, the exact opposite thing happens. One minute you have Michael stealing a pick axe and the next these two tribes won’t even share fire.

Probst: It’s crazy!

Holmes: What were you anticipating when the One World idea came across your desk?

Probst: We’ve talked about two tribes living on one beach for ten years. We were never sure we could pull it off. There were issues about identifying the tribes. Another concern is that it would be one big love fest and they’d make one big fire, one big shelter and we’d have this mess of twenty people living together. Fortunately, Mike decided to start stealing stuff off the bat and it was game on.

Holmes: So for the sake of one pick axe, the whole season became cutthroat central.

Probst: I never understand that. Stealing? When you need votes to win the game? How does that work long term?

Holmes: If I’m a Manono guy and I witness that? I’d put that in my back pocket and happily rat Michael out when I needed to.

Probst: You need to be on this show.

Holmes: Sign me up. The only problem there is I’m not good looking enough to be a good-looking guy and I’m not quite nerdy enough to be a nerdy guy. You need to keep the show going until I’m old enough to be the cranky geezer.
