This current situation has never been about riding coattails but instead it's more about working with a team/tribe. It's apparent our definitions pertaining to "riding coattails" are VASTLY different.

If I was on that tribe I'd be pretty PO'd at several things: 1) I have a castaway in serious need of professional help on my tribe (something I had ZERO control of), 2) this moron had the HII gifted to him no thanks to himself, and 3) because of this huge benefit a couple of suck-ups have their noses up his butt.

The good news is it's not a permanent situation. Sometimes the best option is to bide your time especially if you feel strongly the situation will eventually self-destruct. Colton is a train wreck waiting to happen and has NO chance of winning. Once the game becomes more individual than tribe dynamics, then I'll be able to play my game. And I can assure you it would NOT involve coattail riding.
