End to a Villian

So Colton has now become Survivor's first villian to be medically evacuated. The last episode featured his departure from the game due to appendicites. It seems a fitting end. This could have some people believing in karma now. Since he took the idol with him as he left the game, I'm not sure that they'll replace it. Another twist that happened a week ago was that both tribes went to tribal council without an immunity challenge (a first if you don't count the double tribals) were no one was voted off, the tribes instead merged. I have no idea what will happen next but I'm at least glad that Colton got what was coming to him, even if it wasn't a huge blindslide. Nevertheless, we will probably see him in a future season. Maybe and Colton versus Russell as to who is more devious. That would be good if you don't mind the fact that bring back two all stars in a season gives them a big advantage over the other new players. Colton is gone so a new villian might emerge but I still don't know if Survivor ever had a better villian. He might have made it to the end if he could have. That's not to say that I liked Colton, just that he was a good player. And now we'll see what happens next. I don't have a favorite to win, but I will enjoy the rest of what is the most interesting Survivor season to date.

First Blog Post

I finally decided to start a Survivor blog. The season that is currently on right now is One World, their 24th season. It has already had more new things happen that have never happened before. Russell is no longer the evilest player. That now goes to Colton. JT is no longer the stupidest player. That goes to the entire tribe of men who gave up tribal immunity just to get rid of someone. The most shocking moves have changed. I wonder how these moves will be topped (if that is even possible).

Firsts this season: First woman evacuated from the game. The first person voted out was the second to leave the game. The tribes living at one beach was new. The first time an immunity challenge was cancelled before its completion. The first time an entire tribe was disqualified from a challenge. The first do it yourself challenge (I thought that there were supposed to be more than one this season, so we'll see if that happens again).

Expect better updates in the future when a new episode airs.
