Backbone.js remove model from collection

I'm learning Backbone and for the life of me I can't remove a model from a collection. The collection 'remove' event fires, but the collection appears to remain the same. Here's what I have so far: http://jsbin.com/becamo/edit?js,output

I remove the model from the collection upon click.

Then, the list view is listening for the collection remove event and calls render() again.

I can see from a console.log() that the remove event fires, but nothing changes. And when I inspect the collection variable it's unchanged. I've tried probably 50 variations now whilst searching the internet for clues and nothing seems to work.

You do not need to implement remove on the collection -- simply removing your attempt to override the default fixes the issue. So the collection implementation becomes:

var UserCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  model: User
});

Instead of:

var UserCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  model: User,
  initialize: function() {
    this.on('remove', this.remove);
  },
  remove: function() {
    console.log('Collection Event: REMOVE');
  }
});
