Mainly because I'm smart enough to know that if someone is an idiot on Survivor, it doesnt mean theyre an idiot in real life. And vice versa.i dont watch survivor to see nice upstanding human beings hug and kiss and cry.its all ridiculous. youre only away for 39 days, and its a GAME.any player who brings their emotions into the game is an absolute idiot who needs to buy a clue.i watch the GAME to see people play the GAME. there were  two years where the game was completely lopsided for long periods and the game was just ruined at the end (season 2 after the fire and with colby giving the game away at the end and season 10 with the massacre and ian just giving up for no reason) Those season suffered because of it. The game was less interesting, and then totally disrespected. Players must respect the game. (one might argue that season 1 with the alliance was also lopsided, but season 1 gets the "it was new and it all felt new" exemption")what many people see as a "good person" i see as a "moron who can't keep his emotions in check" or "idiot who forgot this is a GAME" Giving Rupert a million dollars for nothing completely sickened me.Boston Rob, Johnny Fairplay, Richard Hatch. These guys knew they were playing a game and acted like it. Big Tom, Rudy, Rob C.  These were great characters who respected the game.If I watch a professional sport, I don't want to see one team quit or take it easy on their opponents because they feel bad. When the NFL bans each new form of trash-talking, I cringe. When athletes go into pre-scripted speeches about how everyone is respobisble for their sucess except themselves, I don't want to listen.I don't want my DM to fudge a dice roll to save me.If I'm playing Settlers of Catan, I don't feel bad if I cut someone off, or talk trade to see what cards people have, and then play a Monopoly card and steal it all. I don't feel bad if I place the robber on someone. I am playing by the rules of the game. I am trying to win. If it means that I make you lose...try harder next time, loser. There is nothing personal. There is only THE GAME.When there is a game, I want to watch or play the game and revel in the skills and strategies involved.  "there is no crying in baseball" or any other game.Competition is FUN. If I whoop you at a game, and trash talk about it. I expect you to bring it back to me twice as hard the next time we play. And if you win, I'll take your trash like a man. Games do not exist just to pass time. Games were invented for a human's competitive nature. There are plenty of other hobbies or pasttimes without competition involved for the weak natured.And I still wont be happy about any All-Stars in the future unless it involves these two PLAYERS: Johnny Fairplay, and Jeff Probst.(edited for english)</blockquote>
