Mixed up tribes, screwing one tribe over with a talentless group.
“Michael and _____ double teaming up on Colton!”
I giggled.
I was hoping Tarzan would forget what name to write and get kicked because of it. It would have been hilarious.
" I found the HHI. It’s in my crotch."
I wanted to ad…
“It was there the whole time.”
LOL!
The new team division does seem pretty lopsided, but all Colton could do was whine about it instead of trying to help his team prepare their new camp? Speaking of which, I guess that’s it for “one world”? That didn’t last long. I was liking the dynamics of having two teams camping right next to each other.
Man, I fucking hate Colton. He was SO adamant about wanting to ally himself with the women, then when he does make an alliance with them he immediately votes one of them off. And Alicia is a fucking idiot for going along with him.
I’ll miss Monica. She seemed like a good person and she’s a hot MILF.
so the Men won a tarp a few episodes back. and the women won a tarp last week. Did the new camp get one of the tarps?
I like Tribe shake-ups but I don’t like people who won stuff in reward challenges not have them any longer.
And Tarzan has Aphagia? (wiki link). I have known some women like that. No experience with guys but I suspect Colton is not afflicted with Aphagia.
I believe he meant aphasia.
The Great Mystery to me is why everyone is so quick to worship and follow Colton. AFAIK he hasn’t done a lick of work around either of the camps and seems to do nothing but lounge around and eat the food gathered by others. Seems like that would get very old, very fast.
“Colton, get off your fat ass and chase that chicken!”
I want to know which production team member sabotaged the chicken coop before giving it to the castaways, because that was hilarous. “Yay, we caught a chicken! Oh no, there’s a hole in the cage!”
So anyone notice that the “random” tribe reassignment was actually somewhat rigged? Jeff had a separate bowl for each tribe, just to make sure it was a 3 person swap, since that’s the most interesting case.
Probst just tweeted:
He had hinted something historic would happen last night, but he screwed up. It’s next week. He forgot what kickoff we were on.
Yes, specifically nominal aphasia; he has trouble with names (which makes sense - wasn’t he the one who called Jonas Josh at one challenge?).
I don’t know that I’d call that “rigged” somewhat or no; they wanted to split two tribes of seven members each into two new tribes and took pains to ensure each new tribe wound up with a 4/3 split between male and female members. I don’t know how you can do that more fairly than they did. The random element is sustained by not knowing specifically which former Manono members drew a blue egg or which former Salani drew orange.
Colton seems to think that his former Manono alliance will hold post-merge, but I don’t know that Troy (who is now Salani) will re-join. And now he has somehow drawn Alicia in, even though she seems not to trust him at all; Jonas seems content to simply ride his coattails, and Tarzan seems to be completely confused about the kind of person Colton is. :smack:
It does appear the new Salani has an edge in challenges, but it should be interesting to see how that group handles its first Tribal Council; will the girl-power four (including now-idol carrying Kim) vote off the guys, or will they sacrifice one of their own to maintain muscle?
Bad move voting Monica off, I think. Pre-merge, you still need to keep your stronger players. But Colton is still looking at personal threats. Clue: If you keep your stronger players, you stand a better chance of not having to go to TC. The other players are too worried about their own skins. Colton would be a good person to take to the final, since he’s such a bitch. But at this point he’s more of a threat to each of them and it would be better to get rid of him. He’s got them buffaloed, though, so they’re not going to do it. They don’t seem to understand that the HII only works if it’s actually played.
I was surprised Colton held onto the ball so long. I couldn’t help thinking of the ball as Powdered Toast Man. ‘Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!’ He had quite a grip.
I felt a little bad for Leif, the way he was repeatedly swatted aside at the net. Not that he should be given special consideration because he’s small; I mean, it’s a physical game and anyone’s limitations will be exploited. Still, the repeated swattings in rapid succession would have pissed me off. I was thinking that instead of trying for the ball, he should have gone low and taken the other guy down at the knees.
Next week: Someone pisses Colton off. (Can you believe it?) Good opportunity for the sheep to rise against their preppie overlord. I think Colton will convince them otherwise.
Have there been any clues to the locations of the Hidden Immunity Idols given out?
Nope; that was one of the changes for this season. They were simply hidden around camp, but they added the twist that each idol had a tribe designation, so if you found one labeled for the other tribe, you had to give it away - which is how Colton got his (Sabrina found it, but it was a Manono idol, so she couldn’t keep it). Kim found the other one this week.
I assume Colton remained on the correct tribe for his idol to be valid, then?
Closed Captioning spelled it “Aphagia” and not “Aphasia”.
The transcriber was wrong.
Exactly my though. From what I saw of Monica throughout the game she appeared to be one of the fittest players, as well as an intelligent person (blindside notwithstanding). Before the individual immunities getting rid of your strongest team members seems like shooting yourself in the figurative foot but Colton only cares about his perceptions. What is continually amazing is that no one else (on the show) sees this. It can’t all be in the editing, can it?
That’s why I said “rigged” instead of “fixed”. There was nothing inherently unfair about it or anything. It’s just that previous swaps had always been everyone picks buffs/eggs/other indicator from one large collection, occasionally leading to only 1 or 2 (but never zero) person moving between tribes, and a swift exit. Moving 3/7 is the most interesting case of course.
She said something about ‘chasing [her] husband around stadiums with a football’. I don’t know if she meant that literally, or just that she’d watched her husband enter a stadium (in triumph) and wanted to give him the opportunity to see her do the same. But she did seem fit, and I can imagine that she and her husband might engage in athletic activities together.
The problem is that they let him get away with it for too long. He has his claws in them such that if anyone suggests doing the logical thing, that person will become the next to be ousted. Everyone is looking out for Numero Uno, and they are sucking up to Colton so that the next guy gets the target.
The women have not been subjected to Colton’s machinations as much as the men have. They might coordinate an attack; but with Monica gone that seems less likely.
