...but then I got to listen to Alex, Lisi and Rocky again and realized that they make my blood boil even more (and holy god, they are so misogynistic it hurts me). The part that kills me about Dreamz's decision is that he revealed himself as the ass he is without realizing that he never had a chance in the final tribal council against Earl or Yau anyway. He could have come away as a really honorable person (with a trunk!) and instead he came away with a truck and a terrible stain hanging over his head. I wonder how the final four would have worked if Yau and Earl had listened to Boo and voted Dreamz out in the final five. I think Yau would have won the torture challenge, but then I really don't know what happens after that. I think that Yau and Earl come down to a 5-4 vote in the final tribal council, but I don't know which way.

My heart hurts for Yauman, and yet he was so unbelieveably classy. He (along with Edguardo, really) was the only person on the jury with any right to be angry or bitter or truly vindictive, and yet he was the only one who truly seemed to respect the fact that it was a game and take it in stride. He has my sincere admiration. And kudos to Earl for owning up that the reason he voted for Yauman was that he was his stiffest competition. I thought that was really decent of him to not try to come up with a 'nicer' explanation.

I need to say it again - I hate Alex with a passion. Lisi is dumb and crass and just a terrible, vengeful person. Rocky is just dumb and while I didn't like Cassandra by the end of it, I was so sick of the obviously bitter eliminated folks talking down to her and treating her like a bad person. Rowr. Mostly I'm glad that I never have to see them on my TV again. I'm so glad Earl won - if he had not I would be really, really cranky right now.

Oh, and Happy Mother's Day, orichalcum! I hope your first national holiday was wonderful and peaceful and your baby and puppy and husband were happy and thankful for you. *Smooch*
