Survivor: One World - Page 78 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Dom and Colin, listened to the Chris podcast the other day. A++. Really enjoyed him. Thought him hating on Boston Rob was kinda weird. Rob obviously knows how to play so either Chris isn't the player he thinks he is or he's a little bitter that he hasn't been invited back.

Currently listening to the Albert one. How the hell did he marathon old survivor seasons yet not watch one in which Ozzy had been on?

Just tuning into this thread. Without reading anything other than this page yet, all I can say is Russell=Entertaining, Colton=Disgusting.

Maybe Colton understood from the beginning that there was zero chance of him winning a million dollars, so his goal was to be the nastiest person possible in order to have the other players want to take him to final 3 knowing he wouldn't pull a single jury vote. 2nd place gets 100k right?

Just about to make another post defending Colton and thought wtf am I doing.

Have your fun bashing him. he's not necessarily as bad as portrayed and I don't think he's been portrayed as bad as he's seemingly perceived to be. That said, he's not even a little bit worth defending and arguing against the tone of people's posts is growing tiresome.

Pretty much this. And I've never defended Colton's behavior, just tried to point out lazy thinking and double standards ITT.

Two last thoughts and I'll be done with this topic:

racism or racialism (ˈreɪsɪzəm, ˈreɪʃəˌlɪzəm) — n
1. the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others
2. abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race on the basis of such a belief

Not matter how you want to extrapolate/interpolate, you're going to have a hard time proving this based on what we've seen in this season.

And I thought this was appropriate given that I just got told I had racist tendencies because I even broached the subject:

"The new grammar of race is constructed in a way that George Orwell would have appreciated, because its rules make some ideas impossible to express—unless, of course, one wants to be called a racist."
-Stephen Carter

Thanks for making my point.

Anyway, I agree this topic is getting boring. He is gone thank god.

I cant wait to see what happens with next episode. I think it has some epic potential.

How was Russell sexist? He targeted strong women because he saw them as the biggest threats.

Russel is not a misogynist? Give me a fu*king break. Even suggesting this indicates you likely have misogynistic tendencies.

LOL. OK, I thought I was done with this, but you have serious comprehension problems. Abusive behavior alone does not make someone a racist - it makes them an *******. To be a racist, the abuse must be based on the belief that one race is intrinsically superior to another.

Colton may hold that belief, but based on the totality of his interactions on the show, you can't logically and definitively conclude that.

I know this is a little poke at me which is cool but I agree. He must have said "stupid girls" or some variation a 100 times. Russell was pretty clearly a sexist.

I think a season of racists, from all different races would be an awesome season.

it definitely wouldnt surprise me if colton got invited back. it's not for me but it clearly makes for good ratings. look at how many reality shows like jersey shore and whatnot are so popular.

i don't want to see him again - i don't watch any other reality show out there - but him being brought back would not (well, likely not) make me stop watching if that's the sole problem with the season.

Agreed. We'll only have to see him one more time forever and that will be on the reunion show. Good riddance Colton.

I would like to see NaOnka play again. Even suggesting you wouldn't want to see NaOnka play again indicates you likely have racist tendencies.

I think comparisons between Colton and Russell are valid. I supported Russell in his first season, but once I got to know him better, I actively rooted against him. They are both above average players and scumbags.

colton is way worse than russell in every way possible.

russell wanted to win badly and didnt censor himself in the confessional about what he thought of other players.

on the other hand colton is just vicious and openly attacks people to hurt them even if it doesnt help him in any way (for example telling christina to jump in the fire cause she's gone no matter what, and a "stupid ****ing idiot" cause she doesnt run fast enough for him)

In only 6 episodes he already did it to leif, bill, christina and thank god we only saw half a season of him or this discussion wouldnt even be happening

It kind of got lost in the firestorm of Colton hate but Christina really was dogging it during that challenge.
