If nothing else has become crystal clear
after three seasons of Survivor, it's
that winning is a result of one thing: of
NOT giving others any hint of a reason for
voting against you at Tribal
Council. And so it is that we remain
altogether baffled as to why in the early
goings, Dr. Carl Bilancione, dentist extraordinaire,
would spend even two seconds describing
his driveway-ful of Mercedes' and
Porsches! If class envy is alive
& well the world over, you can bet
your life it will be alive & well in a
game where strangers are strewn together
for a shot at a million bucks.
Equally puzzling
was how a trained medical professional
could have gone down to defeat at the
hands of a ditzy gen-X'er in a quiz of
survival techniques ~ on a True-False
question about how best to remove a tick
from one's skin. Perhaps fate
intervenes where sheer logic fears to
tread, and in the present case Dr. Carl's
life of privilege may have clashed with the desires of contestants who don't drive Boxsters and 560SLs!
