Well I'd expect that as he'd be one of the first voted off.

Did she have that mustache waxed off & her upper lip back in shape?
I noticed when they first were seated, someone was inbetween Bill and Colton but when they came back from commercial break, they were seated side by side.

Yes, Kim had the mustache taken care of.

What a boring season! This was the most predictable season since Rob Mariano won it. I have to say, since I started watching Survivor (I think it was Sugar's first season, when she lost to Bob, the physics teacher in his 50's) one of my favorite seasons ever was Redemption Island, when Coach and Ozzy led their tribes. Those were interesting players, but this season lacked a single interesting player, Tarzan and Troyzan were not good at challenges or even very strategic, and everyone else was borrrrring.

Some seasons are great, and some are like this season.

And when some idiot like Colton can talk his tribe into going to tribal council to vote someone off, you know that their tribe is doomed to failure, and they were.

This one was over early.

Well, to each their own. I enjoyed this season. But that's the good thing about TV: something for everyone.

I enjoyed this season too. It was such a train wreck early on - the women played so poorly and all the footage we saw made them look thoroughly unlikable. The men were only a little better, and then Colton came to power - at least in his own head - and it became the Colton show.

But then Colton went home. And we had a quiet week or two - but that was really just time to allow us to get to know some of the other players, who had been overshadowed by all the BIG DRAMA.

And suddenly Troyzan was a really interesting character - and Kim was talking control - and we started to see some strategy, and the show got a lot more interesting.

I think this season proves that sometimes it's best when the BIG characters leave early. A little drama is interesting, but the best seasons of Survivor happen when it's organic drama that happens naturally, because of the game - not because they import a drama queen, and set him loose. Colton is fine in small doses, but he's not good TV if you're talking an entire season.

In hindsight, who thinks that -- just perhaps -- the early episodes were heavily edited to make the women look exceptionally incompetent? Thus making the all-woman final five appear even more remarkable .....

Very possible. I think they look for a kind of "theme" in order to hook in the audience. I wonder what would have happened if Colton had stayed in the game. It would have been interesting to see Colton and Kim go at it.

While I do believe the edit is a powerful tool that they use liberally, the Women's tribe was in reality a mess early on. No edit could have made them look any more pathetic than they were.

They probably were a mess. But I can't help but remember how some of them looked so helpless and needy, then later...not at all. So I think Dark of the Moon has a point.
And from what tidbits I've gotten here and there in past season interviews I get the impression that what we see can be pretty different.
