“I?m OK with inspirational. My objection is about ?celebrity?. It detracts from the game.”
I can see your point. But “celebrity” is out the door when your out there in your skivvies starving to death. The only negative I see is that he’s already a millionaire and could cause resentments. As was the case with Russell the last two seasons...
“But “celebrity” is out the door when your out there in your skivvies starving to death.”
Apparently not, according to Jeff Probst: “I’m probably just star struck but I really enjoyed having him around.”
And not according to Marty: (To Dan) “Can you imagine what your friends in Manhattan are gonna say when you say you blindsided Jimmy Johnson.”
And certainly not to Dan who now has to deal with that thought bouncing around in his head for the rest of the show.
NO OTHER....I repeat; NO OTHER player in the history of Survivor brought with them into the game the trappings of “celebrity” thus totally changing the dynamics of the tribe chemistry and the personal interactions. Jeff and Marty and numerous others who made similar comments prove my point. JJ never should have been there in the first place. If Jeff wants to have a Survivor with nothing but “celebrities”, fine. Go for it. But I hope he NEVER brings another celeb into the mix of non-celebs again.
And I also totally agree with Jeff’s opinion of A-hola...though I don’t think he went far enough.
