Brandon- I am a nurse in Washington state who has never before written to a TV personality. I felt compelled to write after I saw the final Survivor show when you revealed your family's response to how you played the game. I want to first commend you for playing the game in the manner you felt compelled, your acceptance and forgiveness of how other players treated you, and your acceptance of yourself and your decisions after you faced your family when it was all over! Opinions- take them with a grain of salt- everyone has one- with that said, here is mine: This was YOUR game to play- not your family's. If they would have played different, let them get on the show and play it- but this time was YOURS. Your decisions, good, bad, or indifferent, were yours to make and live with. No one owns you and your decisions and no one should belittle you for decisions you made during a million dollar GAME. It's a televised game- your decisions did not kill, harm, steal, etc any other person- so shame on your family and anyone else who chooses to cast their opinions and negativity on you!! Family is FAMILY- they should love you and accept you for who you are (not who they want you to be, and especially not as a free ride to a million dollars). If your family does not accept and love as you are, remember we have the power and choice to make and surround ourselves with a "family" of your choosing, be that friends, or a family in Christ. Best wishes to you! Geri
