The beauty of the game is that unlike professional sports, emotions DO matter. They influence alliances, votes and can get you eliminated if you aren't careful.I love the schemers, I love the "moral" players and I love the idiots. They are all fun to watch. The kind I don't like are the lazy bums who bring nothing to the game. Like Janu. She was basically a lump.We just see it differently. The game should be respected, but it's not everything. Ian made he choice quite concienciously. He made the choice that his integrity was worth more than a shot at the million. That was his part of the game. But then again, if Katie and Tom hadn't taken advantage of his personality he may have been in the final two and won the whole thing. So in that instance I saw him get simply outplayed and outwitted. It was all part of the game. The rules aren't as cut and dry as I belive you see them.For the record, I didn't like that Rupert got a million just for being a good guy. But then again, it made many fans happy and most likely will never happen again. I pretty much ignored it.I agree that they were great characters. But they simply played the game, just like many others have with varied degrees of sucess. Just think of how many players were voted off early in the game so we never got to see enough of them to see how they played.Survivor isn't the NFL nor do I expect it to be. Emotions do play a part in the game. Discounting that isn't giving the game enough credit.That is certainly one way to look at it, without a doubt.Fairplay simply must be in the next All-Stars. It would be a crime if he wasn't. I also want to see Rob C. on the next All-Stars even though it was on the last one. He is one of the most under-rated players in the history of the show.As for Probst, it would be interesting and I'm certainly not opposed to it.</blockquote>
