With the exception of lying about his identity, Gary was a model of integrity. He just had a switch that enabled him to lie selectively like we all can if we want. Our conscience always gives us an excuse to lie.Crystal was on steroid withradawl! Gary was still in great shape depite his age. But I'm glad you admit that those challenges are so dumb that athletic skills mean nest to nothing in the long haul. There goes all the need to even apply the ADS!! Even Courtney Yates has more immunity wins than James Clement so maybe they should have used your ADS on her!!
There is a huge difference between the courage to enlist and follow orders in the military and in dealing in social situations. Look at James' face when Paulie is spewing his venom at Natalie and it's clear that James wants to say something but he simply doesn't know how to intervene. If it wasn't intimidation then it was a lack of assurance.
Like I said last season, Vanessa lost the game at F5 when she won what was for her a completely useless HoH. It forced her to show her hand and by nominating Steve she lost all the influence she had on her puppy dog.
