Previously on Survivor, Colon was a classist, racist asshole that somehow gained control of his entire tribe even though it seemed that absolutely no one liked him. It’s true what they say about power; it brings out the worst in people.
It also causes uncontrollable bitchiness and eye rolls.
Even a tribe mix up couldn’t oust Colon from the throne he put himself on. And so his reign of hate and meanness continues.
Now with a feral monkey as his court jester
Talks of karmic justice began to circulate, but other than landing on the decidedly weaker tribe…..NOTHING. Maybe karma is on vacation.
Sigh.
Let’s get to this week’s episode since pouting and complaining about karma will get us nowhere. We pick up right after tribal council. As you may recall, Manono just voted Monica out because Colon was threatened by her and everyone else is either too wimpy to stand up to him…
Or is just as awful a person as he is.
UGH. I can’t stand Alicia. She thinks that was the funniest tribal council EVAH. She’s cackling about how tribal couldn’t have gone any better and she’s so glad the plan to vote out Monica went so well. Christina’s not feeling as happy, knowing she’s on the outs with her tribe mates.
Even if she couldn’t have figured it out for herself, it wouldn’t have taken too long because Colon starts right in telling her that no one will make an alliance with her, except for maybe a hermit crab. He tells us he doesn’t give a shit if Christina knows she’s out next because there is nothing she can do to save herself.
What about stabbing you in your sleep? Would that work?
Personally, I think it’s a little dangerous to be taunting someone like that out in the wilderness; she could do some major damage to his assy face before anyone would be able to stop her, ya know?
Later that night, the tribe is settling down for the night and no one has left any room for Christina to squeeze into the shelter. She asks Alicia to move over, but that nasty bitch refuses, telling her she doesn’t care because Christina is going to be gone.
You are a TWAT
Christina pushes at Alicia, trying to get her to move over and Alicia threatens to beat her ass. If I were Christina I would keep at her and not let anyone sleep until they let me in there. ESPECIALLY given how FUCKING NASTY they’ve been to her. Fuck all of them.
Over at Salami the next morning, Kat tells her tribe that she dreamt Alicia killed her. Little does she know that the dream was probably a warning to them all about that nasty skanky BITCH. For real Kat; your dream is trying to tell you something; kill or be killed.
Kim and Chelsea fetch the tribe’s tree mail which tells them it involves something they might play in their backyard and that the reward will be something sweet. Of course they’re all excited about the prospect of some dessert.
I didn’t think victory could taste any sweeter, but apparently it CAN!
Time for the reward challenge. Everyone arrives and Salami sees that Monica got the boot. Sabrina thinks this means the girls are going to be picked off one by one and is worried about the ladies being outnumbered when a merge happens.
The challenge includes the use of coconuts AGAIN. This time they will each race to the top of a stack of crates. They will then throw a coconut, bouncing it off a trampoline, attempting to hit a target. After the throw, they will race back and let the next person from their tribe go. First tribe to knock out all five of their targets wins reward.
The winning tribe will get taken to a make shift ice cream parlor and stuff themselves with as much ice cream as they like. Hope no one is lactose intolerant!!!
Salami sits out Sabrina and we are ready to begin. Jay and Colon are up first and neither one hits the targets. Next up, Alicia and Kat; no hits. Jeff thinks Alicia’s throw was like a little kid’s. Next to go are Troyzan and Christina; neither getting a hit, but Christina get to be yelled at by Colon as she makes her way back to the mat.
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so wish she would have strolled back.
Jonas and Chelsea have a hitless turn before Kim lands a shot for Salami. Tarzan makes his shot, tying it up. Leif also makes his shot and now Manono is in the lead. Not for long, because Chelsea connects on her next turn.
Christina gets yelled at by Colon AGAIN and I totally would have given her a standing ovation if she had walked back to the mat. Or moonwalked back; that would have been AWESOME. Interestingly, Colon doesn’t berate Alicia even though Jeff is disgusted by her throwing attempts and even calls her pathetic.
You throw like a feral child
Troyzan hits the final target and with that, Salami wins. Again.
Suck on that ASSHOLE
Colon is PISSED. But not at himself, even though he didn’t hit anything. Not at Alicia who sucked balls at the challenge. Nope. He has decided it is ALL Christina’s fault that they have lost because she didn’t give her all in the challenge. She is so gone, he tells us. “She drives me insane. I hate her voice. I hate her face. I hate everything about her.”
America feels the same way about YOU
Salami arrives at the ice cream parlor for their reward and the pigging out begins. I’m guessing some people are gonna have belly aches later. Mike points out that they have now won the last three challenges which is awesome for them and their morale, but is even more awesome because of the way it hurts Manono’s morale.
Colon is still harping about how Christina sucks when they get back to camp. He tells her to enjoy the last two days. “You can quit or you can jump in the fire, whichever is more convenient for you.” HATE. HIM. Of course Alicia is right there with him, cackling away, really enjoying kicking Christina while she is down. It’s a disgusting sight to behold.
Instead of giving up the way they hope she will, Christina is determined not to give up. When Colon, Alicia and Tarzan leave the camp to talk, she uses it as an opportunity to talk to Jonas and Leif. She warns them that they shouldn’t trust Alicia; she has an alliance with the women of Salami and will surely go right back with them at the merge. She says regardless of what they do about her, they should definitely make sure Alicia gets the boot next.
Jonas is listening to what Christina is telling them; he thinks it’s possible that she’s telling the truth because he doesn’t really know much about Alicia. Other than the fact the she’s become Colon’s right hand hag.
Unfortunately Alicia arrives back at camp in time to get the gist of what Christina is laying down.
Alicia starts clapping as soon as Christina is done and says she’s been there the entire time. What a nasty piece of work she is. Christina doesn’t mind that Alicia heard her because she was telling the truth. Alicia is PISSED so she yells at Christina, calling her a liar. I wish Christina had clapped right back at her for her performance here.
How dare she call me out on my shit when I have been nothing but nasty to her!
A little bit later, Manono gathers around the fire and Colon complains that his head hurts. Must be all those lovely thoughts swirling around his evil brain. He says this headache is unlike any headache he’s ever had in his life. I’d like to feel sorry for him but I just don’t have it in me.
Christina feels bad for him and plays with his hair as he rests his head in her lap. She is a much better person than I am. Jonas tells him to drink more water, maybe he is dehydrated. Tarzan tells him it could be a tension headache and then asks him about his symptoms.
Turns out that it’s not only Colon’s head that hurts; he also has a pain in his belly that feels like someone’s cutting from his belly button to his right side. Christina continues on her quest to sainthood, telling him soothingly that he hasn’t been eating and this is also the first time he’s been away from home.
St. Christina, patron saint of bile filled assholes.
She’s hoping that her kindness will not go unnoticed; maybe Colon will realize she’s a really good person, not the bad one that Alicia’s trying to make her out to be. Colon tells us: “Of course Christina’s going to do that because she’s trying to save herself.” Could he be any more hateful? She’s the only one trying to comfort him and he’s STILL talking smack about her but has no qualms about letting her soothe him and baby him. HATE.
The next morning he’s still feeling like crap. Tarzan takes a look at his tongue and says he is definitely dehydrated. He tells him to drink more water. Since Colon also has abdominal pain, Tarzan is also concerned about Colon’s appendix.
The nastiness you’ve been spewing seems to have backed up in your system. I advise an immediate personality-ectomy.
Colon wanders off, looking for his canteen and tells us he is really worried. He’s dehydrated, dizzy, his stomach hurts, and his pee is brown. He’s worried that he so bad that there’s no coming back from this. He lays on the ground, occasionally whimpering. Interestingly, the cameraman does not run off for help. The crew must hate him too. It’s on the ground where Christina finds him. She runs for help and here come Jeff and the medical team.
Dr Ramona examines Colon and notes that his heart rate doubles in response to the pain he feels when she checks his abdomen.
I diagnose you with a sever case of Soul Rot.
Not really; that’s impossible to diagnose without the proper equipment. She says it’s very likely that he has appendicitis. Colon starts to cry. He tells Jeff he doesn’t want to leave. Doesn’t matter what he wants though; Jeff pulls him from the game, knowing that appendicitis is a serious issue. Colon responds “I just wish I could have done more.” More what? Damage? Spewing of the foulness that pollutes his soul? I for one am glad to see him gone.
Colon asks Jeff if he is allowed to give his immunity idol to someone. That’s up to him.
Jeff gathers the tribe and breaks the news to them. Alicia is not happy that she’s losing her strategy buddy and Jonas feels so bad that Colon is being forced to leave the game because he loves it SO MUCH. Colon tells them to keep fighting, for him. And then says he is taking the immunity idol with him, and tells them to tell Sabrina he says thanks for the souvenir.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Alicia is PISSED that Colon didn’t give her the immunity idol, but I am laughing my ASS off right now! She thinks Colon is a spoiled brat for keeping it because he knows how bad she needs that idol to keep her safe. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Jonas realizes that this puts him in a better position and thinks it might be a better move to get rid of Alicia now instead of Christina. Yes! Get that nasty bitch out of there!! HEE! Jonas also mentions karma and thinks that maybe Colon just got a taste of it. He’s a regular genius that Jonas.
The next day Kim and Sabrina check tree mail over at Salami. It’s a little confusing to them because it says: “You haven’t won. You haven’t lost, but you will go to Tribal tonight.” Sounds like there will be no challenge and each tribe will be voting someone out of the game. I hate it when they do that.
Mike has a different theory: maybe each tribe will vote for a person from the opposite tribe to leave the game. Kim doesn’t know what the fuck is going on, but she DOES have an idol which she’ll be squirreling back to her crotch back pocket in case she needs it tonight.
Plus, it feels so good inside my panties.
Manono is also confused by the tree mail and Alicia is hoping that they will be just discussing what happened to Colon, not voting anyone out. She’s worried if a vote happens that she might be the one to go. Alicia decides to play a game of “Does anyone like me?” and Tarzan says that he sure does. Christina wonders whether they like her, and Tarzan says he sure doesn’t. Wow. What an asshole.
Well, someone has to be the asshole on this tribe; might as well be me, right?
Christina tells Jonas and Leif she is with them as long as they are voting for Alicia. Jonas is ready to do that; he’s ready to take the bull by the horns and make himself the new leader of the tribe. Meanwhile, Tarzan pulls Leif aside and makes a case for voting out Christina; he thinks Christina is dangerous and will say anything to keep herself in the game. Leif has now become the swing vote.
While this is going on, Alicia is still bitching that Colon didn’t give her his idol.
Whine, whine, whine, whine.
It’s never not funny how pissed she is about it.
Salami arrives at tribal council first, so they watch Manono come in and realize that Colon is missing. Jeff explains that Colon was medically evacuated from the game and it turned out that he did have acute appendicitis, requiring him to be flown to a hospital for surgery. Kat doesn’t know what that is.
To be fair, she barely knows her own name; how could we expect her to know about things like surgery, appendixes and the like?
Troyzan feels sad for Colon because he has conveniently forgotten what a punk ass bitch he was. Kim is also sad (because she has no idea what a dick he was) because she knows how much appendicitis hurts, but she’s doesn’t mind having another person out of the game. Plus that immunity idol is hitting all the right spots.
Alicia takes this opportunity to announce that Colon took the idol with him and sends his thanks to Sabrina for it. Chelsea isn’t so sure that Alicia is telling the truth about the idol; she thinks he probably gave it to someone.
Kat is also worried about the idol, but she’s more worried about the whole appendix thingy and how she can keep hers from getting hurt.
This appendicitis stuff isn’t contagious, is it? Did you just breathe on me? Help! Help! Help!!!!!
Jeff says that even though Colon has gone, he still has left an imprint on the game. And a stink too, Jeff, don’t forget about that because it’ll take some time and a lot of scrubbing to get his stench outta here.
He then tells them all to drop their buffs because they are merging. ARGH. Really??!?! What a bunch of crap. Now that bitch Alicia is sure to hang around for a while. Not cool, Jeff, NOT COOL.
So we’re left with an equal amount of men and women in the game and they’re all heading back to the beach that they started at. I am not happy about this turn of events, and I’m hoping that Chelsea and Kim stick with Jay and Troyzan instead of going back with the girls. Alicia and her saggy tits need to GO.
And there you have it, Gasmi. What did you think of this episode? Were you happy to see Colon gone, even though it meant he was hurt instead of getting voted out? Were you disgusted by the fact that no one stood up for Christina when Colon and Alicia were being so hateful to her? Did you laugh when Colon took the idol with him?
It’ll be interesting to see how things shake out next week. I’m still hoping that Alicia gets the boot in her big fat ass face. Whatever happens, I’ll be there and hope you will be too. Until then…
SWAK, PottyMouth

“Or moonwalked back; that would have been AWESOME. ”
LMFAO I would have paid cash money to see that.
Back to reading
I am truly shocked at how awful Colon and Alicia were to Christina….especially Alicia. Aren’t special ed teachers usually, you know, nice? Empathetic? It was sickening to watch, and if I were in Christina’s place I’d have gone down swinging…a bat…at their nasty little heads lol. So glad Colon is gone. Happy surgery, dickwad.
I mentioned this before, but Christina’s behavior raises serious questions in my mind about her intelligence level. She just seems so …. slow.
Which make Abitchia’s attitude toward her that much more horrible, considering she’s supposed to be a special ed teacher.
Anyway, you’d think Jonas, Christine, Leif and Tarzan should all join up together in a grand alliance of the dimwitted.
My money’s on Kim and Chelsea (well, my eye’s on Chelsea too, har har). Although I think Chelsea’s playing a stealthier game – Kim might screw up by letting people know how smart she is. But if they’re careful, they might be able to run the rest of the season.
Oh yes: Colon sucks. Glad he’s gone. And I’m glad he went out like a weener.
Clearly the Chicago Public Schools doesn’t care about the health, safety or welfare of their special needs students – Alicia has no tolerance for grown adults so I’m almost positive she had no tolerance or patience with a bunch of kids with special needs. I can imagine she walks around all day telling them they are dummies and suggesting they go play in traffic.
You just know they are going to bring Colon back in another season. I’m about at the end of the line for my enjoyment of Survivor and that will give the me opportunity I need for a nice clean break.
I would like to see Colon’s face just one more time… I just want to see the expression on it when he realizes how despised he is by America. That smug little shithead thinks he’s cute and everyone just luvs him. Karma, I love her!!
My theory is that Colon got a nasty bacterial infection because he wasn’t drinking enough water. He was barely taking sips from that canteen. He’s a spoiled little shit and I’m guessing they don’t drink their water like that at the country club.
This episode made me really uncomfortable. This is just my second season watching but last season they didn’t get on a mean girl level like they are this year. Which is the norm? Because I don’t find this entertaining at all.
That’s actually true…
http://www.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/survivors_colton_cumbie_reveals_did_not/303282
One day I’ll learn……for some reason I have a lot of trouble posting anything using Chrome but I keep forgetting until I actually fail again!
Anyway, I read an interview with Colon and he doesn’t seem remorseful at all. I’m sure he’s enjoying the attention and has probably already been invited back for another season.
Alicia has more to lose…..I can’t understand her taking a chance on people pulling their kids out of her classes. I really hate that feral kid.
So it was bacterial just not in the kidneys, which was what I was thinking. I hope he had some nasty cramps since it was in his intestines.
Yeah, you know he’ll be invited back.
Oh, I so agree. If they had talked to me that way somebody would have had to call the police because I would have been throwing coconuts at those bitches.
I have not yet read the recap. Just the TITLE made me start laughing!
Itchy: I’m not sure she’s slow. I’m thinking, maybe, she was raised properly and that’s why she behaves in a civilized manner. [Obviously, Alicia was raised in the gutter and Colon had no supervision as a child.]
He doesn’t seem remorseful AT ALL which really shows what kind of a douchebag he really is. I’d rather see three seasons in a row with the entire Hantz family than see another one with Colon.
Yeah. I said in the mincap comments the producers will inflict him on us again. He’ll be their new Russell. Unless they have them on together, in which case I will have to skip a season completely.
Okay…I read the recap. HILARIOUS!!!! The captions under Tarzan and the Doctor were especially brilliant.
Not sorry Colon is gone. Not sorry Alicia didn’t get the Idol. And cannot believe how stupid Kat is.
I believe Christina has manners, although so do I and I’m not sure I could withstand the kind of assault she took without returning fire at some point. And I am among those who was horrified that everyone else gave their tacit approval by staying silent. Shame on them.
I call bullshit on the “acting” he was doing. Did he ever once in a talking head say anything about acting? Did he ever once seem like a decent human being? Anyone remember what’s his face from BB1? He laid it all out in confessional and had us on his side. This waste of oxygen? He is just a complete and utter asshole!
Come on RazzBeth, people were attacking him and stuff! He is so delusional, I just can’t with him.
best line from that ‘article’ -
“I’m all better. I’m fat again!”
Um, sorry, Colon, you never got skinny.
I want to know where did Christina run too to get help? Is there an emergency phone somewhere in the trees? How long would Colon have laid there if she had walked up, said ‘karma’s a bitch’ and just walked away? That would have been awesome btw.
I honestly don’t know if Colon will be coming back. Russel was bad but he was never straight up disgusting like Colon. Everyone loved to hate Russel and lil hantz, but generally people just hate Colon.
From your fingertips to Probst’s eyes.
As much as I hated watching Hantz, this guy destroys the entire spirit of the show.
Yeah, this is a totally different kind of hate people have towards him. After this recap we don’t even have to think about him again until the finale.
No…my hate is pretty much the same…against a vile human being. Russell’s treatment of women and anyone he plain didn’t like (around 90% of the guys) was not all that different from Colon and how he treated people. Both are self-centered delusional, nasty, arrogant trolls who (as “fans of the game) think they have the game all figured out and are playing it perfectly.
And that’s why the producers will bring him back.
I see your point Cattyfan, but if I had to chose one of them, I would go with Russell. Thankfully I don’t.
For me it’s slime-covered rock versus filth-laden hard place.
I’m not a fan of Boo-ing people, but I wish people would just boo and yell and not clap at all at the Survivor finale when Colon and Alicia come on stage, that’s my one big wish!
I want them to realize how much America hates them, and I want to see their faces when they realize that!
Has anyone of the past survivors been boo ed before at the finale?
I think I remember Jerri was, but I don’t remember if it was her original season or the All Stars season.
I’m not known to openly laugh (or even quietly snicker) at people’s physical pain and illness, but Colon is such a HUGE putz that I was laughing and pointing and clapping and doing my happy dance. Him being voted out would have been great, but this was such Karmic perfection. And then for him to deny Aliciahole the idol was the cherry on top.
You’re probably right about Survivor bringing the hater back. And if they do, I think a lot of us who’ve been at this Survivor party too long will be on a big exodus right behind ya.
I dunno…it might be fun to watch Russell chew him up and spit him out. You can bet for sure that Russell wouldn’t share any idols with Colon.
Them, and Johnny Fairplay annnd Boston Rob. Or have I pushed it too far? ;-D
Speaking of being raised properly, I really do wonder what Alicia and Colons parents think about their behaviour. If I had ever behaved this way, in front of millions of people no less, my mother would have done everyone a favor and buried me in the backyard. My mother would then have died of shame.
@ ‘and they’re all heading back to the beach that they started at. I am not happy about this turn of events’.
I think they may not have had a choice. It gives me joy to think about how Colon was puking his guts out, and diarrhea-spraying anything in the vicinity of the camp. Add to that the sulfuric fumes coming from his rotten insides, and that camp was probably the hub of stench, bile, vomit, and general grossness.
So they may have been forced to bring on the merge earlier than originally planned, simply to remove any and all yuuuuuck that Colon left them as ‘souvenires’ in the camp.
As to his taking the Idol – all I can even say is Bwahahahahahahahaahahahhahahhahaahhahahahahahahahahaha.
I love Boston Rob, so not too far for me
I was thinking that if I had a child, special-needs or not, in Alicia’s class, and witnessed her hatefulness on the show to pretty much every weaker human being, I’d be getting my child fitted out with a nanycam or a button camera, to be able to secretely audit the class and verify for myself that she is not abusive to the kids.
A person with that much evil in her, that much hate and disrespect, and so completely devoid of tiniest shred of empathy is almost guaranteed to not be able to just turn it on and off. I believe that is TRULY her personality, and she is probably as mean and hateful to the kids as she is to just about anybody else she does not care about.
And she seems to only care about those who can do something for her, help her get ahead, or join her in the hatefests. So if she’s not specifically abusing the kids, she’s for sure teaching them by example to prey on the weak. How did she ever pass the psych exam to get hired as a special-ed teacher in the first place???
Just a thought: I’d love to see Parvati take on Colon and kiss his idiot ass.
Just a thought: I’d love to see Parvati take on Colon and kick his idiot ass.
heh heh…just playing ‘spot the difference’…
oops.
This episode sucked. I wish somebody would have “accidentally” fallen on Colon while he was on the ground in pain. That would have given the episode some needed drama but watching some chunky guy withering around on the ground isn’t a turn on for me. Well, usually.
Glad he’s gone. Now, if they could spend more time focusing in on the cute guys (JAY and that other one whose name I forget) this season might be salvageable.
Oooh oooh itchy, I LUV that game. Lessee– the third leg from the right is lo…no, the second leg..
Well, I didn’t say I was good at it.
I’m not defending Alicia’s behavior on the show, because she is vile. But I have to say, I think it’s kind of ridiculous the way we hold teachers up to such a higher standard of behavior in every aspect of their lives than we do other people — a much higher standard than the parents of the kids they teach, a lot of the time. All of us compartmentalize our lives to some extent, and I would imagine that the teaching persona that she turns on during working hours is quite different than what we see on Survivor.
That being said, I do not understand why any teacher would apply to get on a reality show if they weren’t also prepared to keep up an appearance of sweetness and light the entire time they remained on the show. Teachers get fired for the contents of their facebook pages, behaving like a complete and utter tool on a TV show is a recipe for a failed career. Remember Pumkin from the first season of Flavor of Love? She was only a substitute teacher, and she still got canned.
Both are despicable, but I would take Colon ANY day over Russell (sorry Mr. D). At least Colon had some one-liners in there and as hateful as he was, he was way more intelligent and crafty with his planning. Russell was on the show way too many times for me at this point.
another idea for a future season – using a little inspiration from mtv challenges, they should have a fresh meat style season. They bring back 10 returning players, they each get paired with a new contestant. They are matched up boy/girl. The new people are the ones to pick their partner (returning player). They would leave as a pair. There would be a reward challenge and immunity challenge. The loosing team from the immunity challenge would automatically go into a dome style challenge. Everyone else would vote on the other couple to go into the dome. The winning couple from the dome would then go to a spa type over night where they get would get to eat, rest, etc. This would make the game play of who goes into the dome a little more interesting. The camp that everyone would live at would be very sparse, no giving them anything special, not even rice, that is what the reward challenge is for. This would help make the reward for winning the dome and not going home all the more special.
Yes, but Russell is sexy and manly and looks good without his shirt on. Russell also has nice legs and a nice butt.
Plus, Russell more personality.
Colon is one big ICK.
Just something I would like to point out: There is NO WAY IN HELL Alicia will have a job when she gets back. In fact, I don’t believe for one minute ANY place of learning (schools, universities, KINDERCARE…would even CONSIDER hiring her after the spectacle she has made of herself. I understand the job-personality versus the outside-of-job personality, but any public or private entity involving children that hired her would be absolutely CRUCIFIED for allowing someone so hateful, disrespectful, and positively EVIL to get anywhere near their child.
My guess is she actually realizes this, and judging by her character on the show she likely thinks Survivor will lead to her becoming a “star”, able to host her own show or go on more reality television. Delusiona much? (I had to throw that in there for the T&T watchers/readers LOL!)
Now, Mr. D, if Russell wasn’t so damn good-looking, would you feel the same way?
I don’t think it’s that we (well, I at least) am holding her to a different or higher standing – she’s a disgusting human being. She’d be a disgusting human being if she was a doctor, a lawyer, an out of work hairdresser or a supermarket checker. What makes it even worse is that she’s responsible for a gaggle of young impressionable humans being a teacher.
If she was a doctor we would have sympathy for her patients since she has the attitude and probably bedside manner of a billygoat with a splinter. If she an out of work hairdresser we wouldn’t have to guess why she was out of work. If she was the supermarket checker we wouldn’t go through her line because she’s nastier than the usual supermarket checker.
If she was a lawyer we would assume she’s a defense attorney and very good at her job.
I’m not really holding her to a higher standard…but since she’s a teacher her hapless victims don’t have much of a choice because there is probably at least one kid in every class in America that comes home and says “Mr./Ms./Mrs. Teacher is the worst ever – don’t make me go back to school tomorrow!” and if they are like my parents they say, “Yeah well, suck it up,” and usually not believing it fully. If she is really like this in her class, then she probably has a ton of kids that say this and the parents figure the kid just doesn’t want to go to school – hopefully they will see this and believe their kid.
I thought the same way about Nokia (or whatever her name was) since she was/is a teacher and she was willing to trample someone with one leg just because she had one leg.
Suburb,
I think you either have empathy and compassion in your make up, or you don’t.
I don’t think that Alicia even has the ability to compartmentalize as you suggested. I don’t see her leaving the vile bully that seems to be ingrained in her at the doorstep of the School every morning, either.
Mean and Nasty is always welcome when I watch Survivor. It’s a million dollar game. Cruelty, however, is unpleasent to watch.

Thanks for the re-cap, PottyMouth!
Your send off to Colon was appreciated.
Do you really think that Kat is that stupid? I wonder sometimes about her..how can someone not know that you can’t catch appendecitis?..gotta wonder about these folks.
Thanks for calling out Alicia. She truly bothers me as a Survivor fan. She waited til someone else ganged up on Christina before she made her move. Colton was always an ass, but the minute she saw that she could also kick up some dirt around Christina, with his help, she pounced. And she was truly disgusting in her attempts to make Christina feel as bad as she could. This woman is not right.
TC, Robin
The bright side of Colton being brought back to the show is that without an idol, he’s guaranteed to be the 1st to go!! Then he can’t go around saying, “I would’ve won if I hadn’t gotten sick!” Sigh…I love seeing dreams crushed and hopes dashed.
Suburbint, I got what you were saying about Alicia. She is an asswipe, but it is entirely possible that she is assiest after hours. I have friends who are teachers, and while none of them are assholes, they do like to party, curse, and have wild casual sex in their off time. Most people expect teachers to be “librarians” in their free time. A woman here in NYC was fired because she had a facebook profile pic of her and some stud (him shirtless), covered in chocolate. (Could’ve been a stripper but the pic was from the chest up.) Still, they fired her for “misconduct.”
So..yea. Alicia may be somewhat of a professional during her working hours, but after being an ass on TV…she will have to consider a new career. Bitch is fiyed!
Oh, and I read an interview with Colton and he said the reason he took the idol is because Jeff wouldn’t let him give it to Jay. (methinks he had a crush on Jay. I do, too.) Anyway, Jeff said he was only allowed to give the idol to someone on his team and even though they followed him like sheep..their abs weren’t tight even to win his loyalty.
Is too early for jury members?
Well, no, Abitchia was on Christina’s ass from the very start. She got pissed off because Christina was trying to negotiate with the guys early on. Why? The editing didn’t make it clear why Abitchia would hate Christina so much.
At any rate, she definitely took advantage of Colon’s presence to allow her own inner filth to spill out in all its glory.
She went from having a problem with Christina to full blown bully only after she started taking her cue from Colon. She is a follower. And a bully. And, if someone else in the future is being treated badly I see Abitchia doing the same thing, again.
Ow yes! I remember that incident now, she walked of the stage! Well I hope that happens with Colon and Alicia too!
