Dan Foley: My Survivor Portrayal Was Unfair

Everyone knows that Survivor is a highly edited show ...

So what was your reaction when you were voted out? Were you angry at Carolyn?
Look, anyone who walks out of the game with a smile on their face didn't play the game. I left that game with a fever of expletives. They didn't show it, but I was swearing and spitting and seething after my torch was snuffed. I was absolutely furious, calling Mike every name in the book. But I don't wish anyone ill will ...

Read the whole thing.

Bad edit or not Dan was warned a number of times by Mike. Those little bits would be hard to take out of context.

Dan dug his own hole and instead of accepting the rope ladder handed him, he just kept on digging. The man is delusional.

Now wait just a minute - Dan says Sierra warned him that Will wanted him out but then turns around and says he would have voted out Sierra?!? The thing to do there is cast his two votes to Will to spread the votes around and he’d still be playing the game. And he’s still mad at Mike even though Mike tried his hardest to make them a duo. Geez, after how many seasons of Survivor and Dan doesn’t realize that every word and eye roll is edited for the drama. He’s clueless.

I want a cast of good guys and bad guys and people I can root for. Is it the casting director or the editors at fault for no making this a fun season? Surely, CBS is getting boatloads of applicants but for some reason they’re continuing to give us reruns.
