The journey from there to here

So, I watched this season's Survivor finale last night. Hey, I only have four channels to choose from here, so it was the pick of the night.

Anyway, what was surprising about this finale was, it was not surprising at all. The same man, Tom, who has essentially run the show from the beginning, won it all. Because EVERYONE else that ended up in the final five or six had been playing for second place.

That bugged me. You don't play a game for second place, you play to win. But apparently nobody told these folks that

I'm glad Tom won. He definately deserved winning! Played the game with a lot more realness and niceness than the others! You're right, I guess since the others didnt' go to win, they lost!

oh, I agree he deserved to win. What irritated me was that this was nothing more than a protracted kiss up contest with the other contestants lining up at Tom's posterior.

The only redeeming quality of this season was Ian's "taking a dive"...sounds like being "that backstabbing jerk from Survivor" wasn't worth a million to him
