Last night’s Survivor starts out with Alicia and Christina talking out their differences. Sounds great, right?
Christina sucks and I hate her and did I mention she sucks?
Oh, and for those of you that were appalled last week to discover Alicia is a teacher…..it gets worse. She’s a special ed teacher. I don’t have any words.
The women realize that they probably do need a leader so they elect Sabrina since she seems to have a level head. Hopefully they don’t turn on her too quickly. They begin to divide up the various tasks and once again it devolves into arguing. Yay girl power!!! It’s pretty obvious that there’s a young vs. older divide here and the youngsters have the numbers. Too bad the oldies can’t eat their young.
Jeff decides to take the day of the reward challenge off, and I guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t too close because how would they decide who won if it had been?
Puh-lease. Like it was ever gonna be close.
I guess if certain people had practiced reverse macramé before coming on the show they would have fared better in this challenge!!
After the reward challenge, the guys work some more on their shelter while Colton does nothing. Oh sorry, my bad…..he sits on a swing while everyone else is working!!! Whaaaaaaatttt???!!?
Swinging is haaaaaard
Ultimately he ends up hanging out in the women’s camp AGAIN. Sabrina doesn’t like this, after all, he IS a guy, and she makes up a tribe meeting to get him the fuck outta there. He STILL doesn’t get the hint and ends up wandering back to their camp waaaay before absence can make the heart grow fonder. They end up actually having to explain to him that it doesn’t make sense for them to let him hang around and hear all their strategy talk and see their tribe dynamics when right now he is part of the enemy tribe. He’s super sad.
Later, he proves that he might actually have a brain, and tells Douchezan and Jonas that he has the idol. Not only that, he wants to get rid of one of the strong guys first chance they get. So it looks like those three plus Leif and Tarzan might have a chance to get rid of the frat boy alliance. Dare I say, I’m sorta impressed????
The immunity challenge involves beams and water and one tribe excels while the other fails epically. Seriously, the level of fail is embarrassing. Come back over the weekend for the full recap and we’ll discuss it all! Until then…..
SWAK, PottyMouth

Did I miss something last night? Where/When/How did Colton end up with a Hidden Immunity Idol? When that scene played I kept waiting for them to reveal to me how that came about? Maybe I fell asleep or something? I am lost on that one….
Alicia is everything I hate in a woman. Crazy, bitchy, and two-faced. Hate. Her.
So, in addition to cutting the production costs in half by putting everyone on the same beach, no Jeff Probst is only working part-time. Geez, CBS. Cheap much?
And the women proved how stupid they are by voting out one of their strongest and smartest players…to keep someone who is so empty-headed you can look into one of her ears, and keep track of the men’s camp on the other side. THIS is why alliances shouldn’t be formed based solely on, “Hey! You’re my age, and we’re young! That means we should work together.” IDIOTS.
TiredMom…Sabrina found the II last week and there was anote that that II was for the guys, so she had to give it to someone. She wasted it on Colton.
Re: Colton. He isn’t dragging gays back as far as RUPAUL and his drag queen followers but Colton isn’t doing the gay community any favors.
If he was, at least, funny but unfortunately he’s just sad and pitiful.
Hopefully, he will be voted off soon and everyone will be put out of their misery.
The last time I was in Vegas, there were “children” there, just turned legal. By the way they were acting/reacting you could just tell that “this is how we’re supposed to act – we’re in Vegas”.
I get that same vibe from Colton. He is the absolute stereotypical gay guy from back in the 70′s. It’s like he read a book that said this is how gays are.
Alicia is a teacher…..it gets worse. She’s a special ed teacher. I don’t have any words.
You haven’t forgotten about crazy special-ed teacher NaOnka from Survivor Nicaragua, have you?
‘cuse me. I look her up, and NaOnka is a physical education teacher.
I noticed that you refrained from mentioning that the episode contained gratuitous footage of Tarzan in a speedo.
I’d liken Gay Stereotype’s mini-breakdown to Dawn’s last season. So far, I’m liking him. And, @Mister_Dangerous, I can respect a flamboyantly effeminate man being himself, although we all know how that’s NOT your type. You at least have to give him some credit for pulling his shit together and forcing the creation of the Misfit alliance, which I also was impressed by.
As far as Alicia goes, I think she’s a wonderful reality character who is going to be the next female Survivor bitch, following in the footsteps of Lisi, Jerri Manthey, etc. I can’t wait for her eventual blindside and her hate-speech from the jury box.
Who wants to bet on when the tribe mixup is going to happen? Because you know it’s going to happen. The women’s tribe sucks.
They had an opportunity there but they blew it. The three — Sabrina plus the two tall willowy blondish athletic types who appear reasonably intelligent but haven’t displayed enough personality yet for me to remember their names — should have hooked up with the the older three and formed a NEW alliance. They might have kicked ass.
As it is, they’re just going to keep losing until the producers realize they’d better step in or Survivor will turn into a boring sausage fest.
Colton’s pretty annoying to watch, mostly because he’s so humorless.
I’m super confused about why Colton isn’t over there taking in some of that eye candy! That’s where I’d be…if they’re as comfortable with him as they seem to be the few times when he is around them, they might actually enjoy a little playful flirtation…straight men can flirt with gay men, now, Colton! This is 2012, bitches!
Derek you’re a peach but…
The only thing I like about the Misfit alliance is the name. Yet, I would like the name better if it was the Gay Misfit alliance. See, the GAY part makes it better. It makes it more festive.
I don’t know if you noticed but Colton said he was “the girl on the guys team.” Uh, that’s a gender issue. He might look into that. Then Colton says he can only relate to the girls. (Cause they’re so frilly or something? Maybe, because they know how to weave and he doesn’t?) Then he was SO needy and SO clingy that those bitches told him to “go away.” I don’t want to sound cruel because that would be against my embrace of the tenets of Friendship, Love and Truth but Colton is a sorry excuse for a man and a sorry excuse for a gay man. Oh, and he’s whiny and he cries. And don’t even get me started on that fast swish walking thing that he does. (I think he’s smuggled a dildo onto the Island and it’s stuck up his boygina.) He is every gay stereotype imaginable rolled up into one FAT ball. All he needs to do now is start wearing a grass skirt and he could do SURVIVOR drag. But….I wish him the best.
See, I don’t think he’s being himself. I think he’s watched too many bad gay movies and that’s what we’re seeing — a gay caricature.
@Mister_Dangerous — same! I said this about Colton in last week’s comments. The real question for me is, WHY would he do that? Is he playing up his gayness for strategic reasons? One the one hand, sure, he’s probably making himself seem less threatening to his tribe, but on the other, he’s also completely alienating himself from the men, at least from what we’ve seen.
@Derek — I actually thought Alicia was a poor imitation of Sue Hawk. Her confessional about not helping Christina if she was drowning/starving/I can’t recall off the top of my head reminded me of Sue’s speech, except not nearly as awesome.
The few over-the-top flamboyant gays I’ve known (most of the gay people I’ve known are, well, just normal people) were always quite fun to be around, certainly great to party with, and even made pretty great flatmates. Of course, you’d often come across them at 4 in the morning crying their eyes out, because in reality, their lives sucked and the flamboyance was just a shell to protect them.
So yeah, Colton. Although it was interesting that at least one of the contestants referred to him as being very smart. I’m guessing the editors are cutting out the parts where he just acts normally. Maybe it’s in his contract?
Also, how come there’s never any mention about Leif’s condition? It has to be a factor in his gameplay (although it helped the tribe on the last challenge). It’s becoming the elephant in the room.
LOL, @Mister_Dangerous, I understand where you’re coming from, but there isn’t one way to be gay and just because Colton is gay doesn’t mean he’s representing ALL gays. ALL gays didn’t win Survivor when Richard Hatch won or when Todd Herzog won, and Richard was ‘butch’ and Todd was effete. Colton probably planned a similar strategy to Todd’s by bond with the girls and to create an alliance with them, but got frustrated when his Plan A didn’t work out as he expected. And, keep in mind, had he not been pestering the girls for the first two to three days, he wouldn’t have gotten the idol from Sabrina. I think he’s played a terrible social game by not trying to bond with the guys more, but before we judge him as horrible, I think it’s best to see how the Misfit alliance turns out over the next few episodes.
@myfavoritesunglasses, I am looking forward to Alicia’s angry jury speech and her realization at the reunion that the audience hates her fucking guts.
Is it just me or is anyone else wondering what the heck ColGay is doing on Survivor? Methinks he was suppose to be cast on Big Brother but wondered into the wrong meeting.
And calm down Mr. Sushimakerwhatserface guy! Not only do you make me hungry every time they put your moniker up during your interviews, but your whole ‘ColGay’s a genius’ statement is beyond exaggeration. He’s just a swishy little gay that the girls wanted to go shopping with after the show before they figured out how annoying he was, so he was given an idol. He’s not an undercover ‘mastermind’!
BTW…NEITHER IS RUSSELL! (don’t shoot Mr. Dangerous
) He’s just a smarmy for no reason little troll that was lucky enough to be cast with the biggest bunch of idiots to ever play the game. Case in point, his ‘redeeming’ season with Rob…how long did he last?? EXACTLY! (in my Brandi G voice) Ughhh..hate!
I’ve known several flamboyantly gay men (I currently work with one) that just…are. No act, no cover up, that’s just who they are, and I respect them for not trying to “conform” and be more “macho”. Colton strikes me as that type.
I did, however, think he was a lazy sack of shit this episode until he FINALLY got the damn memo that he might actually have to do some WORK (if only the sort with your brain) to get anywhere in this game. Canj’t wait to see how it plays out.
I also can’t wait for Alicia’s jury diatribe. As long as I don’t have to see the bitch make a speech TO the jury, it’s all good.
Oh, and didn’t one chick, who is a high school teacher, make some very un-PR comment about a fat kid needing cake? Woman might wanna try not to alienate parents (whick I am thankfully NOT), especially if her ass has to go back to work.
TiredMom: This season, each tribe has a designated Hidden Idol hidden somewhere at the camp. Sabrina went Idol-hunting in the last episode, but she ended up finding Manono’s Idol, not Salani’s. The rules stated that she had to give it to a Manono member before Tribal Council, so she gave it to Colton after the Immunity Challenge, before Salani attended Tribal.
Itchy: Jonas mentioned Leif being a little person in the first episode, but the show has left it at that, and that’s how it should be. I don’t want another situation like Kelly B. in Nicaragua, where all we heard about was her artificial leg. I don’t think anyone would want their time in the game to be defined by a disability.
