If Survivor Mirrors Real Life, No Wonder Real Life Sucks!

I just finished watching the Survivor finale and, as an avowed supporter of Yau-Man, I am disappointed, dismayed, downhearted and downright pissed!

For good TV, this was the strongest Survivor in years, since the original appearance of Rupert. It was one of the most strategic games ever from a sheer intellectual standpoint. There were a couple of episodes that were riveting for those who love strategy.

I don't have a major problem with Earl taking home the million bucks. He played a great game. But Yau-Man deserved so much more than he got!

Kudos to Yau for being one of the oldest in the game and still beating the younger ones at some of the challenges. He's an inspiration! Once again, though, the old adage of "Nice guys finish last" holds true. It is truly disappointing when you see people do things with integrity and not see it pay off in the end. It's easy to say Survivor is just a game, but the truth is what happens in Survivor happens too much in life, from business to politics to relationships. It begs the question: If integrity isn't enough to get you over the top, then why have integrity at all?

In some respects, I shouldn't be so upset. Earl played the game with a lot of integrity and it paid off for him. And Dreamz, the one with no integrity, didn't get a single vote from the jury. Nor did Cassandra, who never did anything to make her deserving of winning. I just wanted the most deserving people in front of the jury, just as I want the truly deserving people to succeed in life in the end. And everybody knows everything should be done the way I say it should!!!
