Just heard that James is currently off filming Survivor: All-Stars 2. Why they gave that dumbass a second chance is beyond me!

Oh I hate to hear that. I will probably take that season off. Plus the other night they said the next Big Loser will be couples. Did I hear that right? Forget it. Not only that did I not catch the the next Apprentice will be celebrities...why are they doing this to me??

Because they don’t pick the smartest contestants for All-Stars, they pick the ones who will get the greatest reaction (positive or negative) from the audience (which translates into ratings).

James is an Anointed One, just like Rupert, StepheME, Rudy Giuliani, and Hillary Clinton. The thing about these anointments (whether Survivor or political) is that they work for a while, then start to fade as people realize that the anoninted ones aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Rupert and StepheME were, at one time, respectively the highest-rated male and female Survivors ever in the popularity polls. Now, many people are sick of both of them. Similarly, Rudy and Hillary both held huge leads in the polls at one time. Now they’re both slipping.

James is very popular right now among the majority of Survivor fans because his aura of anointment is still strong. That’s why he was chosen as an All-Star.

Because he’s this season’s Rupert. Notice Burnett also had that $100,000 “America’s Choice” giveaway because he knew America would give James the cash.
