Thoughts On the Current Season of Survivor

  1. I am abundantly glad Colton is gone.
  2. Bad people get what is coming to them.
  3. Which means Alicia will soon get caught by karma too.
  4. Kim and Chelsea seem to be the only strategy-driven players left.
  5. Tarzan is as annoying as Coach was the first season he played.
  6. Christina is either a bigger person than I am, or a cloying yes-man.
  7. Jeff Probst gets hotter every season.
  8. It must be much more difficult while in the game to develop a clearer picture of your opponents.
  9. It’s cute and sadly mistaken how Jonas thinks he can be a leader now.

Love Survivor!!
