The Misfit Alliance is an alliance that was formed during Survivor: One World. Orchestrated by the so-called "Super-villain" of the season Colton Cumbie, the alliance quickly took control over the Manono tribe.
Origin
On Day 4, Colton formed an alliance with fellow Manono tribe members Leif Manson, Tarzan Smith, Jonas Otsuji, and Troyzan Robertson after being told by Salani member Sabrina Thompson that he needed to attempt to bond with the guys. Revealing to the 4 men that he was in posession of the Hidden Immunity Idol, the men agreed to stick together. Colton dubbed them the Misfit Alliance, due to them being on the outside of the Muscle alliance.
Downfall of the Muscle Alliance
The alliance was rivaled by the opposing "Muscle" alliance consisting of their de facto leader Matt Quinlan, Bill Posley, Michael Jefferson, and Jay Byars. Colton quickly grew annoyed with Bill's peppy attitude and wanted him gone when Manono had finally lost immunity in Episode 3. However, the other members of the misfit alliance wanted to get rid of Matt Quinlan since he was the tribe's biggest leader and rival. Colton soon revealed that he had the Hidden Immunity Idol at Tribal Council. Nonetheless, the Misfit alliance got their way and Matt left in a 7-1-1 vote.
Betrayal
The alliance soon felt betrayed after Leif informed Bill Posley (The Misfit Alliance's next target) that Colton had considered wanting to get rid of him over Matt on Day 9. Michael, wanting to gain some leverage in the game, informed Colton that he saw the two men talking and that they seemed to have a good conversation going. Colton informed Leif that his betrayal now sealed his fate in the game. Despite the rift, the Manono tribe won Immunity. However, Colton considered giving up Immunity after a heated confrontation between him and Bill Posley. Tarzan took the most offense to the situation, scolding Leif and telling him that no matter whether he agreed to give up Immunity or not, he was leaving. However, Bill left in a 7-1 vote.
Tribe Shuffle
After Bill's departure, the two tribes learned they would be swapped. The Misfit Alliance kept their numbers on the original Manono tribe, only losing Troyzan. Colton began to work his magic and got the girls on his side, and ultimately formed an alliance with Alicia Rosa. The clearly weaker Manono tribe lost their Immunity Challenge, and Colton who originally wanted Christina Cha gone, switched his target around to the much stronger Monica Culpepper. The Misfit Alliance decided to cover their tracks by saying that the target was Tarzan. Monica was blindsided in a 5-2 vote.
The Fall of Colton Cumbie
During the next episode Thanks For The Souvenir, Colton had fallen ill, developing pains in his abdomen, severe dehydration, along with constant vomiting. It was determined by the Medical team that Colton was suffering from acute apendicitis and had to be removed from the game for surgery on Day 16. With their leader gone, Jonas quickly attempted to take the reins as the new Misfit leader, targeting Colton's former ally Alicia.
The Merge
The two tribes merged into Tikiano, and The Misfit Alliance began to crumble. On Day 17, Tarzan pulled in Michael, strategizing and saying that it was a good idea for the men to stick together. Michael, however, preferred to stick with Jay Byars, Troyzan, and the women of Salani rather than with Leif, Jonas, and Tarzan. Michael approached Jonas about the plan, which Tarzan had included his name despite never bringing up the idea to Jonas. Jonas and Tarzan got into a huge argument over the ordeal. After the Immunity Challenge, the majority targeted Jonas for his likability and wit, viewing it as a threat. Troyzan confronted Jonas and told him what was going on. Jonas apologized to Tarzan, which shocked Tarzan because of how noble Jonas was being, and all of the men made a pact to target Kat Edorsson. However, at Tribal Council, Jonas fought hard to stay in game expressing his disgust that the tribe would get rid of him over physical threats such as Michael. Tarzan took offense to it, calling it disrespectful that Jonas would throw Michael under the bus. Jonas then brought up the Misfit Alliance's decision to target Kat. Tarzan denied any involvement and stated that it was all Jonas's idea, once again turning on his former ally. Tarzan voted along with the majority, and Jonas left in a 10-2 vote (Leif staying loyal to his alliance).
Impact
Although the alliance did not come to fruition until the first time Manono visited Tribal Council, the Misfits enjoyed comfortable control and allowed breathing space for those less than physical players. It also permitted de facto leader Cumbie to become more aggressive in his confessionals, leading to a very negative light being placed on him, potentially leading viewers of the show to any self-ignorance he may have.
Enjoying mild success in the game, Cumbie ultimately was the glue that held the alliance together, and without him there was no alliance to control as the members began to turn upon one another.
