Why does everyone keep saying that his tribe saved him? They didn't do it to personally save him as a favour. Every time they got rid of someone instead of him it was for their own personal gain. Jim wanted Elyse gone because she was a threat, so she went. Papa Bear and Semhar were weaker so they went. Ozzy didn't go to Redemption to personally save Cochran, he went so he could be a big hero and to make sure their numbers were even. None of those instances were to save him personally, they were to benefit the team. It's crap to say that they saved him so he owed them something. They treated him like dirt the whole time, why should he have any loyalty to them?

Also, he's not dumb. Everyone keeps forgetting to mention the fate he avoided. He didn't want to pick rocks. I respect that and would have done exactly the same thing. Why on earth, when there is no guarantee that you are safe, would you reduce your game to chance? It's not like if they had his vote they would have come out on top. The rocks could have screwed them over as well.

I can't believe the viciousness of some people towards him. Remember he's a human being and does not deserve to be called names. You don't need to like what he did, but for crying out loud give the guy some respect. I personally think he's fantastic, and he has definitely revived my interest in survivor again.
