PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
First, when he was talking about "slithering" he didn't say to the end, he said he'd do it "to stay as long as he can in the game."
Second, if the million dollar quote you are talking about is what he said at the end: He was lying/exaggerating about "getting" Ozzy out (Ozzy asked to be voted out); he was lying/exaggerating about "getting" Ozzy's HII (Ozzy gave it to him); thus, his words about the million are just a big talk from someone too afraid to walk the walk. That "million dollar quote" was all comic relief from the Court Jester.
IOW, it is all misdirection to make us think John is going to flip to build some suspense on Ozzy's plan (and it was Ozzy's plan, for the naysayers who were trying before this episode to give John & Jim credit for it) works. When Ozzy comes back in, John is going to hand him back the HII as promised. He isn't physically or emotionally capable of doing anything else.
And, in fact, even though I don't like John (again with the b word out of his mouth!) I don't think he is an awful person. What kind of awful person would have have to be to keep Ozzy's HII after promising in front of everyone to "give it back to him tomorrow"). I don't believe he'd do that; besides the fact that he isn't RussHell, he'd lose every single Savaii vote on the jury if he did.
