But seriously ... Sabrina, Christina, Monica, Chelsea all seem pretty decent. I haven't seen enough of Kimberly to judge. Kat and Alicia are the only ones who seem to be knuckleheads (so of course, they're getting most of the airtime).

I agree Bill seemed like a decent guy. I liked when Tarzan or whoever was complaining that they hadn't had time to train with the slingshot, and he said "Well, they didn't either."
And go ahead and add Kim to the list of seemingly reasonable humans, though of course I'm biased since she's my player in the DVDTalk game.

I bet CBS must be happy. Next week's ratings should show an increase. People complain but they love a trainwreck. Just look at the size of this thread. It even pulled in first time posters. I won't go so far as to say he's a plant but I'm sure the producers were pretty giddy to find someone to stir things up.

On the other hand, it makes me sad that Survivor has come down to this. I've not watched every single season as many folks here probably have. But for some time, it seemed as if Survivor was about "real people" participating. Now from what's been reported in these threads, they're going out actively recruiting these cartoon-character-individuals in an effort to provide great television moments.
I still enjoy the show, but not on the same level that I once did.

I'm curious if anyone knows the percentage of recruited contestants for each season.
We had a guy from my old company that was a contestant. He definitely wasn't recruited but this was many seasons ago.

There's a difference between someone that is knowingly playing a villain role or just trying to divide folks, etc. and what Colton is. He's just a terrible person. I fully believe he's not playing a role, or acting a certain way, that's just who he is. Which is why I don't feel bad wishing for his death. Over and over.

Those guys are so stupid.
One of the original 5 should have approached Bill and Leif (because of what Colton was saying about them). Then get with *** (I can't remember the guy's name who came to the 5 to get into their alliance to make it 6). The four team up and put in their 4 votes for Colton. 4 - 4 tie. Immunity idol is useless now. Bill raises a stink about Colton thinking he's all powerful just because he has the Hidden Idol and that the 3 are voting for Colton no matter what. If one of the other 3 gets scared, if the tie-breaker is the pebbles, they might switch their vote. They vote again. If one of the others did switch, Colton is out. Other wise 3 - 3 tie. If they do the fire building, Bill would beat him by a mile. The 4 now have the advantage against the original 3.
That's what I would I done. But, that's just me thinking. The other guys should start doing some thinking. I'll have to keep rooting for the women.

I agree. I'll definitely be watching closely, waiting for Colton to meet his end at some point.

But for some time, it seemed as if Survivor was about "real people" participating.

I think Survivor now is probably 80-90% recruits although ironically the biggest villian of the season and maybe ever Colton was a fan who applied.

The guys may collectively be the dumbest group of players ever but I am not sure what has been moronic about the womens decision when they went to tc. The majority alliance kept a loyal ally over a a cranky old lady who felt entitled to stay because of her life experience.
Well, obviously I was exaggerating for effect with that comment, but the sentiment remains unchanged. So far this is looking like the worst cast ever on this show. If you like them, more power to you. But to me it feels really manufactured, like the producers decided to completely forego looking for interesting people in favor of a bunch of borderlines and token characters.
