\"\"<\/a>After about four or five seasons of major tinkering, Survivor One World<\/em> feels like a return to roots for the grand daddy of reality tv shows, now running its 24th season.\u00a0 The last few seasons of Survivor<\/em> have been of varying quality but they all felt like they moved too far away from the basic formula of the show and became too reliant on returning contestants and giving players a second chance (the largely unpopular Redemption Island gimmick).\u00a0 With Survivor One World<\/em>, we have an entirely new cast and no second chances.\u00a0 This makes me happy.<\/p>\n

One World’<\/em>s gimmick is that the tribes are divided by gender and share the same beach.\u00a0 What makes the season so great however is that they have struck gold with the casting.\u00a0 The stand out contestant is of course Colton, the gay Republican on a tribe comprised of half jocks and half outcasts (old guy, Asian chef, midget etc).\u00a0 Colton unites the outcasts when he is gifted a hidden immunity idol and leads the war against the jocks.\u00a0 He is a great villain for the show because he appears to entirely lack empathy.\u00a0 He isn’t show to actually care for the team members in his alliance.\u00a0 It is just a matter of convenience.\u00a0 He is a walking contradiction – a gay Republican, and a racist one at that.\u00a0 He appears to single out Bill amongst the band of jocks because he is ‘too ghetto.’\u00a0 He doesn’t even appear to have a particular aptitude for playing strategically or having a good social game.\u00a0 Which is what makes him a great central character.\u00a0 He is fun to hate and he will almost certainly screw up before the end of the game.<\/p>\n

I must admit, although Colton is definitely getting a villain’s edit, it was hilarious seeing him taking out the ‘rooster’ in the jocks alliance, a guy named Matt whose strategy involved making a ‘power alliance’ of four people…in a nine person tribe -_-<\/p>\n

In the girls camp, there hasn’t been one stand out performer but the story of the tribe has been their abysmal start which saw them lose five challenges in a row.\u00a0 They have started to turn their fortunes around now but it is unclear where the alliances are in the tribe for now.\u00a0 Certainly the editing of their life at camp isn’t giving too much away.\u00a0 It must be said, the casting crew have really gone to town on the hot chicks this season.\u00a0 Aside from a token middle aged woman, most of the other girls are smokin’ hot twentysomethings.<\/p>\n

My pony:\u00a0 <\/strong>I’m backing Tarzan to win this thing
\nMy poison:\u00a0 <\/strong>Colton, but he is very entertaining to watch<\/p>\n
