Ian is still an idiot. He waited 11 hours on a pole to promise something he could have in the first two minutes. For once, somebody who deserved to win, did. Down side is, it's going to be hard to top this show, though the Mayan location is a great idea. Coby had his wittle feelwings hurt and was the only one to vote for Katie. Too bad his adopted daughter won't have a father figure to identify with. And did you catch it when Jeff asked if any of them thought that he talked Janu into quitting? Coby put his hand up but quickly yanked it down when he saw no one else agreed. I don't think Jeff saw it.
I disagree, at least with respect to waiting almost 12 hours. I think he made a calculated choice that restoring his honor and integrity (in the eyes of Tom, in particular, who seems to have become a bit of a father figure for him) was worth more than a million dollars. Personally, I think it admirable, especially in light of Jeff's comments in Entertainment Weekly that Colby sticking with Tina (I think it was) in Survivor: Australia was the only honorable decision that he ever saw on the show at the end like that. My only caveat is that I don't think Katey was worth his respect since she was just playing for herself. For her, the honorable thing to do would have been to decline Ian's offer and step down and tell Tom to pick Ian. She didn't do that. But I don't hold that against Ian. I hold that against her.
Yes, I am sick of Survivor having its token gay person on virtually every show. My ten-year-old loves the show, but I know she's getting a distorted view of the actual proportion of gay people in society. They are so visible on reality TV now. I am sure the gay activists love it. Then Jeff acts like this adoption is a great accomplishment rather than sad tragedy that it really is. Meanwhile, there are many childless American couples who can't find a child to adopt, and this girl will grow up without a mother and without a good idea of how to form a relationship with a heterosexual male.
