I hate that he’s on the show. He comes in with a distinct advantage over the others BECAUSE everyone knows him. That’s just simply unfair. Of course the weaker tribe members gravitate to him, they feel like they already know him.

I don’t think Marty and Jimmy T envy him; I think they resent him. And rightfully so for the reason stated above. They have things to offer the tribe but the other duffuses gravitate to the “celebrity,” diluting their ability/chances to form bonds and establish value as a tribe member.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s nothing personal against JJ. I think it’s bad casting by Survivor. If JJ was one of a whole competition of celebrities that would be OK. Pretty much a level playing field. But this is not in keeping with the spirit of the game.

How many people will be on his side bec they are Dallas fans?
How many people will be on his side bec they are football fans?
How many people will be on his side bec they DON’T want to be known as the guy who voted the football “hero” off?
How many people will be on his side bec they worship “celebrities”?

I hope he’s the next to go.

Good points as always, LG.

My personal “unfavorite” is still A-Hola, though. :)

You got your wish. I’m not a fan of JJ but I’m more impressed with his attitude and game play than JT’s. JT is a spiteful whiny because he’s not Mr. Big. He’s just down right creepy. They should have booted Dan as he’s weak link. They’ll pay for following JT. I’d hoped they stay around a while but that snarky little power move was the beginning of the end for the oldster tribe.
