Regarding Colton: I read something last week, and wish I could find it in order to link to it now, but Jeff pretty much said he wouldn't expect us to see Colton on Survivor ever again. I'll keep an eye out for it and will edit this post accordingly if I find it.
I understand why they voted off Jonas, but I hated to see him go. It seems awfully early in the merge to vote people off because they're well-liked and would be hard to beat in a final TC. While well-liked and a good provider, Jonas didn't appear to be much of a threat. I think, if I were on the show, I'd be voting off the people who are more threatening from an immunity POV, not from a jury-likability POV. At least, at this stage in the game.
I like Kim and Jay (Jed? Geez, I still don't know all their names), and to a lesser extent, Chelsea and Troyzan. It'll be interesting to see how the season plays out.
Oh! Forgot to mention how happy I was that Colton didn't give the HII to Alicia. I'm surprised the producers left it up to him - I'd've thought they would've told him he had to return it to Jeff for re-hiding.
**ETA:
Here's the interview I was referring to.
