If I was on the show, I would almost certainly be inclined at some point to target the handicapped man/woman.

First and foremost because of the “anyone but me” principle.

Second (sort of a corollary): If I felt that I might be targeted at any point in time, it might be easier to deflect votes to the handicapped person using the "weak link" and the "sympathy vote" arguments.

Third, remembering the first BB when one legged Eddie won it all because America couldn't bring itself to vote out the poor guy. I know that America's voting tendencies and the tendencies of a jury of people that you've directly competed against would be different, but still, that would be in the back of my mind.

I kind of agree with Mindy. In a game where personal survival is the prime goal, putting handicapped people on the show is sort of pointless. Since everyone will want to target someone else, the physically handicapped people are walking dead as far as the show goes.

I was hoping the girl would do well. But as a viewer I have more sympathy for her than I would if she were one of those in-between me and a mill. Then, I might float that fake leg out to sea one night too.
