I’m not saying Gary was or wasn’t...what I was saying is being a faithful follower of a religion does not necessarily add up to being a person of high integrity.

Allow me to reiterate what I said AGAIN. You do not need to be a “World Class Athlete” or “Olympic Gold Medal winner” to perform well in these challenges. Although many still require a solid athletic background...and some do not. A lot of times perception holds more weight than reality when applying the ADS. Challenge prowess also relates to TRIBAL challenges as well. James performed big time in some tribal wins whereas Courtney was the goat in most of the tribal challenges. She came through on the one challenge that favored an 80-pound anorexic.

It wasn’t intimidation nor lack of assurance...the confrontation sank quickly to a low level and James exercised discipline not to get to that level. With the Paulie/Natalie confrontation, by Paulie not taking Grandpa’s advice, the House was clearly on Natalie’s side so James did not have to bail her out.

Vanessa lost the title when we came up short in the final three-part comp. In the F5 she could have easily convinced Steve that Austin was the target all along. In the end it was Vanessa’s tiebreaker vote to keep Steve in the game and send Austin to the Jury. You can never be 100% sure of your safety at that critical stage in the game...unless of course you cannot be nominated.
