My feeling about the "million dollar" quote is that its day is done. Everyone probably makes a million dollar quote now, and some will be used.If you have read Burnett's book "Survivor" (and if not, read it!), he talks about how he was very nervous about putting that quote from Hatch on Ep 1, because he so didn't want to spoil the ending. But he did because at the time Hatch said it the idea of him winning seemed so far-fetched. I mean, the guy went and sat in a tree and sulked right off the bat.
That line became iconic. More and more players have decided to throw out a million dollar quote for themselves. Some will be used as misdirection, because of the first season. I certainly don't think that a winner must have such a quote, or that someone who says million dollars must win.
That said, Fabio's quote stood out not so much because he mentioned the money, but more that he SEEMED all wide eyed and naive, like a journey player, but in his confessionals he is all about the game. That gives him a more complex character than fun and simple clown Faboli. (Fabio/Spicoli).
I have to say that he impressed me the most in the first episode, which is the one where I typically look for something out of the ordinary. (Unless it's a Natalie edit season.)
