Like it felt like he was somewhat self-righteous or conceited: "I do NOT like this person", "I do NOT like that person", and so on. I mean, it felt a bit whiny almost. Maybe it's just because I related to Joe more with his love for the game and I admired his fighting spirit. I've come to not hate Ryan so much, but that's probably because I really like Chrissy and the partnership she and him got going on. I'm sorry but Joe crossed a line. Yeah, you can say it's a game or whatever but I feel there are boundaries you do not cross, for instance, falsely accusing someone of swearing on one of the things they love most. That's not fighting spirit, that's desperation. You could tell that Ben was obviously very upset, and he had every right to be mad at Joe. As for Cole, well, I just find that more hilariously petty than anything else. I have to disagree. When he explained why he was angry, Ben came off as arrogant and self-righteous. If it were me in there and a million dollars was on the line? I could see myself saying something similar if I felt my back was up against the wall. So Joe was more relatable and respectable, to me, for playing the game for what it is, as opposed to Ben, who although I'm sure is a nice guy outside the game, was pretty much just doing the pretentious "I have the moral high ground so I win at life" thing that I despise in Survivor.
