Ha! I was thinking the same thing!

Good riddance to spoiled bratty rich white trash. Washed away like fish shit with the surf.

My guess is that he was raised to be that entitled, and his antics didn’t cause them a moment’s pause.

I’m quite sure that when Kat gets pregnant, her first question to the doctor will be “Are you sure it’s mine?”

She’ll be the type who studies for the pregnancy test.

Ok, I’d like to help her study for that one. 😉

Despite being the prototypical “dumb blonde” she’s cute and seems to be rather nice.

Colton,… So glad to see you go, and I suspect you’re housekeeper has your exit recorded and a delicious chocolate pie waiting for you.

Alicia… I pity your students and trust me, men don’t find you as irresistable as you think.  
Kat… Lord you’re cute and seem really ice, but man you’re dumb as a post. Unless of course it’s all an act, and you’ve decided that your best chance of winning is to convince everyone that you’re their little sister they. Red to protect. If so, you’ve succeeded.

They seemed to have forgotten that they were playing a game where the prize is awarded by the votes of their fellow players. And that the game was on TV. The big winners tonite are Colton’s family. Now they won’t have to put up with the public humiliation week after week.

> Jeff said, “Colton was medically evacuated from the game yesterday. . . . After examination by our doctors, they concluded it was acute appendicitis; he had to be flown to a hospital to have surgery.” (Cue dumbfounded Kat.) So yeah, it appears the appendicitis was real; don’t know why Jeff would have lied about it. I was wondering myself when his confessionals were recorded; I suppose it could have been done post-surgery and green-screened in to the island background.

Hmm, certainly Jeff’s statement is clear. But I did just google Colton and found this on his Twitter feed:

[QUOTE=Colton’s Twitter feed]  
And that ladies and gentlemen is a “karmatic” million dollar stomach ache.. #Survivor #NOOOO ☹  
[/QUOTE]

Judging by his behavior on the show, I would think he would have played up the pain and difficulty of having surgery. It seems too nonchalant to refer to it as a “stomache ache.” I’m probably dead wrong, but I’ll be interested to see in the reunion if it turns out he didn’t have appendicitis.

Eh. “Million dollar stomach ache” my ass. Colton never had a prayer of winning $1M. He was going to be the guy that everybody wanted to sit next to at the Final TC, who winds up with zero votes.

He’s telling everyone that interviews him that it was a bacterial infection and his evil appendix is still intact. Kat has begun to relax.

Bobby Jon didn’t make the merge in Palau but got to come back the following season.

I agree that Alicia and Colton both got a taste of karma. Of course, Christina will now tell the rest of the girls that Alicia agreed to vote out Monica, and the girls will see that she screwed all of them by not voting out a guy.

Both Colton and Alicia were useless in the challenge. Use. Less. Even Jeff said that Alicia was pathetic. I’m glad that Christina didn’t do what I would have done, and taken all the time in the world, and by that I mean HOURS if necessary, to complete my portion of the reward challenge. I mean, they told her that she was gone in 2 days, so why help them win a challenge? Nope, I’d have turned to the other tribe and said, “This is for you guys. May one of you win the entire thing.” and then sat down on the first block and pretended to file my nails.

That being said, Christina must be doing something to annoy everyone off camera, because people seem to really dislike her. I mean the doc said that he wouldn’t be her friend in real life. There was a similar situation last season, but I can’t remember the contestant’s name.

Leif can sure scale those blocks. Holy crap. It’s the equivalent of a 6’5 man scaling a 6’ block with a single push.

Alicia’s bathing suit that squeezed together her boobs was as annoying as her personality. I cannot believe that she’s a Special Ed teacher. She probably pinches helpless kids when she passes by.

Jay and the wedding store owner would make beautiful children.

I think it’s hysterical that Kat is a timeshare salesman. Her “Touche” comment left me rolling.

I guess we should give her credit, she could have said “Toupee”.

Someone else will quote it, but basically Jeff said, “What do you think, Kat? People do lie in this game.”

“Touche, Jeff.”

Jeff just kind of looked clueless and moved on.
