Adultery? Now that's a perfectly hilarious comparison. What do you propose we do to adulterers? Get them thrown out of their private country clubs? Fire them from their boardrooms? We do nothing to adulterers except listen to their stories of how they banged their secretary while the wife was busy with the kids. Heck! We offer them another round!

So, in other words it was Osten, Nay and Kelly's choice. Aren't we in a free country? Did it cost you anything that they quit? Did they owe you anything?

They simply just couldn't

It happens. Every year, teams in every imaginable sport invest a lot of money on their rookies but many can't hack it and they quit.

What do you call that? I call it exploitation. I find it very understandable that someone would say: "This is crazy. I'm not going to go through this anymore."

Noble? He had messed up and didn't know how to fix it so he did the stupidest thing possible.


>He didn't quit.

Of course he did. He stepped down voluntarily with nothing to gain from it except "friendship".

Sorry, but I count 3: Janu, Ian and Lisi. From the tribal swap until she was voted out Lisi kept on saying that she would quitting. Alex finally decided he had enough. That's quitting.

Read those reports again because Jeff was quite clear: The reason it took so long was because Janu didn't want to say she was quitting until she was assured to be on the jury.
The only other version of that story that we heard was from those Jeff-bashers who claimed that he convinced Janu to quit in order to save Stephenie. Either way, the precedent is that the show made sure a quitter could be on the jury.

The show must go on? Please. Janu had stopped caring for days.

>"from now on they have it covered

No. Boo! Because now we will not know what happens to quitters. Some will get preferential treatment and will sit on the jury while others will be sent away. Double standards are nothing to rejoice about and it will make it harder for Survivors to "roll with the punches." A game needs rules. People that we exploit for our amusement need compassion not fines and penalties.
