'Survivor: One World' Season 24 on CBS HD - Page 11

I think its one of the worst Survivor moves ever on multiple levels. But first and foremost, Bill is an idiot. He already knew that they were gunning for him. Why risk going to Tribal council even if you think they'll vote out Leif? It doesn't buy you any more time than you already had. When your head is on the block, do anything and everything to buy more time ... you never know what'll happen tomorrow.

His post-show interview was basically "oh well, I would have been voted off next anyway." He clearly never watched a single episode of Survivor before playing. If he had, he'd know that the game can change on a dime ... especially when they split up tribes in a non-random fashion to start with.

All that being said, I think Bill did a great job responding to Colton's idiotic comments at tribal council. He stayed relatively calm and took the high road while still defending himself ... not as it relates to the game, but in his real life choices/circumstances. It made Colton look even worse (if that's even possible).

In regards to the requirement for a unanimous vote:
It only makes sense to require that. Suppose you have a tribe where 6 out of 7 guys try to throw the challenge, but the 7th guy prevails on his own and wins the team immunity. It would be completely unfair to allow the other 6 the choice of voting him off anyways.

I didn't really notice that I guess. But I'm sure I will now.... Damn you scowl!



Agree with all this. It kinda sounded like he was searching/hedging for an explanation/excuse in the interview that didn't make him look as dumb, but I would think no one being voted off would trump even a small perceived chance of being booted. Since we didn't see it it's hard to say for sure, but I'm guessing Bill got lip service from his supposed "allies" saying they'd help him, just like Troyzan told Matt he was down with helping him the previous week (It ain't survivor unless you're lying). As you say though, he did a very good job of maintaining his poise under some really ridiculous stuff from Colton at TC and responded with what seemed to be genuine thought and feeling that cut right to the chase.

Well your logic makes sense but sometimes Survivor isn't fair and they do make rules up on the fly. It would be nice to know where the unanimous vote came from because it might add a little context to that WTF move.
Bill certainly wasn't thinking about a tribal swap and extending his game life. I don't know if some of the others were considering a swap and that might have been the motivation behind getting Bill out ASAP.
I think Colton is licking his lips because his mommy isn't there to put chapstick on for him.

They had the perfect opportunity.. they shoulda drowned him . . .

That's what I was thinking ...

It's unfortunate now with the new tribe mix I don't see any way Colton could possibly get blindsided until after the merge....there's just not the numbers against him....which is hard to believe.

^ the merge is a ways off, but, yeah, no one in that group is swift enough to organize something like that. Colton's group better pray for puzzle type challenges cuz they'll lose every physical ones.

That is one of the more effective strategies in Survivor, just make sure it is not your name. Sandra won twice doing that even though she didn't control a single vote and she failed miserably at the one thing she desperately tried to do and that was vote out Russell. But she did just enough to make sure she was not voted out and had some good fortune that she was never really targeted (over which she only had some control).

I hate to say it but Colton's probably in a good position with the tribe shake up. Even if his tribe loses every immunity challenge, the 4 misfits will probably make it to the merge in a 4 to 6 situation. Providing that Troyzan doesn't make some new arrangement with the women in Salani, and he rejoins the misfits, it's 5 to 5.

can someone explinate to me what a loadstar is?

You're probably right, but I'm hoping the idol will have the same mesmerizing power that it had on Menudo. That will allow the women (Kim and Chelsea?) will form a new alliance and the misfits won't reunite after the merge. Christina is the only one that Colton can freely target now. After her, his alliance will have to have to take out its own. Will Colton turn on Alicia instead of Leif?

If Salami goes into the merge with dominating numbers, there will be no reason for Troy to switch to a weaker alliance that has the likes of Tarzan and Colton. They won't win many individual immunities and they'll be primary targets in every TC.

I cannot wait to see that fop in an endurance challenge (traditionally the first one after the merge). Even staying upright is a challenge for him.

They forgot to blur out Alicia's droopy butt as she crawled around Colton. I guess we can see that stuff hanging out of a bikini but not out of hot pants.

For those who still think old people get eliminated every season just because they're old, check the score. Two twenty year olds and a thirty year old have been eliminated. Monica at an athletic 41 years old went last night. 54 year old Nina has been the only older contestant eliminated clearly because she didn't make any friends. Meanwhile 50 year old Troy and 64 year old Tarzan prove that Rudy's advice in the first season is still true: they bonded with younger people and got three younger contestants booted. Don't tell me the game has changed that much.

Sorry, I can't. The game is afoot!

well played

according to the preview for next week, someone gets injured which means there probably won't be a tribal. hate it when that happens.

lode·star/ˈlōdˌstär/
Noun:

A star that is used to guide the course of a ship, esp. Polaris.
A person or thing that serves as a guide.

What did he call a word like explinate?

a neo-something. can't remember exactly.



i like kim. her and chelsea remind me of j.t. and stephen from tocantins. i could see them becoming good friends and taking it all the way to the end.

He said it was a neologism. Tarzan is smart but when he mentioned having a type of aphasia I realized he probably has some real brain issues. Either that or he is faking it.
Kim and Chelsea do have a chance to go far and I think Troy and Jay may too bit it is still early.
I hope they merge at 10 with one elimination going home and a jury of seven and an F2 but with the way things are with the larger cast it will probably be merge at twelve and an F3. More than likely one more episode with the new tribes before merge but I hope not.

Hit it on the head:

Definition of NEOLOGISM
1: a new word, usage, or expression
2: a meaningless word coined by a psychotic

Isn't he a plastic surgeon?

Even worse, the preview said that "history repeats itself". Sounds like someone fell into a fire again since that's the only "historic" airlift in Survivor that I can remember.

Lets just hope these people are not dumb enough to let Colton win the game. I know its a stretch, but hey, the men went to tribal after winning immunity.

I didn't catch that, but if that's what they were talking about it's pretty ballsy, since they also showed Colton telling Christina (I think it was) that she should throw herself into the fire! In the EW Q&A last week with Jeff in answer to the teaser question for the upcoming episode he said virtually the same thing, and when asked to explain what me had meant this week he admitted he had gotten mixed up and was thinking of the upcoming episode for this next week. The way he talks about it there it makes it seem like it's something a little less serious though maybe?

Do you really think anyone would vote for Colton to get a million dollars though? That's the thing that's odd. He seems like he may have some game and understands how to get people to go with him, but much like Russell he doesn't seem to understand that based on his treatment of other players no one will want to vote for him to win.


ron

What with his paid servants and all..

The title of this episode was "A Bunch of Idiots". Obviously that should have been the title for the last episode so folks have come up with much better titles for this one:

"Which One is Monica?"

"I Smell a But Coming"

and my favorite, "It's In My Crotch".

Did anyone else crack up when the chicken shot out of the cage like a rocket while everyone stared at it as if it were an alien creature? Man, those things can really run.

Who makes a trap w/ one side open?

No, I do not think anyone would vote for him to win. But I am not in the game with these idiots.

Uh, smart people? But idiots make it with two sides open.

It was a "prop up the box with a stick" trap so one side has to be open. Apparently the back was also open, but this isn't the "rocket scientists" tribe, after all. The outcome fits with the episode title.

Ugh!

I think it's pretty much sealed that Colton is going to be in the finals.
A) Everyone else there is either too stupid or too scared to even consider putting his name down at this point, or
B) He's reached the point where people usually realize they want an unlikable person up there next to them at final tribal.

He's either getting senile, or just messing with everyone's head

I'll have to watch it again, but I thought the screen wasn't quite nailed to the frame and the chicken shot right through it. The set people probably built it that way on purpose knowing that no one would have the brains to inspect it.

It must be hard to be a Survivor camera man. How could you not laugh at these things while you're shooting them?

What am I watching? This is crazy, how did Colton get so powerful and WHY are they letting it continue? This is bizzare. Plus, the constant voting out of strong people is so stupid, you are just setting yourself up to continue to loose, decimate your tribe, go into the merger with lower numbers and then have your whole tribe picked off during the merger. Sooo stupid.
