Survivor One World March 21/12

I hate Colton. I hate Alicia. I hate Colton and Alicia. Oh hello. Sorry. You caught me mumbling. A while ago I was yelling at the television so, in a way, you are lucky I was just mumbling. Manono has just returned from Tribal Council having kicked Monica to the curb. Christina has realized that she is seriously out of the loop. Colton tells her that she is the next to go, that no one will talk strategy with her and that she will have to make an alliance with a hermit crab. He also says she is a cockroach because she has managed to survivor so long. Just when you thought the bullying couldn't get any more base, we get reaquainted with Alicia. When Christina asks for a space to sleep, Alicia asks her why, since she will be gone soon anyway. To her credit Christina stands her ground and stays calm in the face of all this nastiness. Colton and Alicia paw and fawn each other while spitting venom at Christina. The Alicia aura is such that even Kat has a dream that Alicia kills her. Tree mail arrives promising a back yard game with a sweet reward. Turns out they have to bounce coconuts off a trampoline and try to land them on a target (call me old-fashioned, but this isn't a game I ever played in MY backyard having been decidedly short of both trampolines AND coconuts). The first tribe to knock out five targets wins reward. And what is reward, you ask? It is a trip to a Survivor ice cream parlour. Salani wins reward with Tarzan and Leif being the only Manono people with any skill at all at this game. Back at camp Colton lays all the blame on Christina even though Colton never hit a single target. Colton tells us that he hates Christina's face, her voice...in fact he hates everything about her. He tells her she can jump in the fire if she wants. He is brutal. I want to choke him. Does that make me a bad person? Having nothing to lose, Christina asks Leif and Jonas to support her. They are quite receptive but during the conversation Alicia comes up behind Christina and listens to the last part of the conversation. Alicia is then indignant that Christina would talk behind her back (having just returned from talking strategy behind Christina's back). By this time Rick is pulling me off the television set and Jonas is questioning whether such personal attacks on the part of Colton and Alicia are really necessary. Salani, meanwhile, is having the difficult decision of which flavoured ice cream they should choose and will that be with or without a cone. They don't even sully their reward with talk of strategy...it is just pure pleasure. Back at camp Manono, Colton is not feeling well. I can hardly believe my eyes when I see that it is Christina cradling his head in her lap and comforting him. He called you a cockroach Christina! He told you to jump in the fire! Fortunately (is that cruel?) Colton continues to get sicker. He has a headache and a pain in his belly. Eventually he heads off into the jungle where Christine finds him lying on the ground crying. Stab him, says Pat. But no. Christina goes and calls for the medical team. Turns out Colton has appendicities and needs to be taken to hospital. Dimples asks him if he still has the idol and gives him the option of keeping it or giving it to someone. Colton opts to keep it as a souvenir, much to the chagrin of Alicia who is suddenly feeling pretty vulnerable. After Colton is evacuated, Jonas is feeling like he might finally be able to flex his muscles. He feels that Colton may have received a little Karma and that Alicia should be the next to go. Not right now though, because tree mail arrives telling both tribes that they are going to tribal council. When they are all assembled, Dimples tells them about Colton's illness and then asks them to drop their buffs. The merge is occuring and all previous scheming is down the drain. Colton's departure means that Jan is out of the game. Sorry Jan. I wish you no ill will but I am glad that Colton is gone. My only regret is that he will now go through life believing he could have won, had it not been for his appendix. Next week might be the "March madness" recap episode but I'm not sure. In any case... Outwit, Outplay, Outlast Pat (aka Kat what's a pend o sitis Edorsson)
