Don't go any further if you haven't seen the episode. Boneheaded decision is right and he deserved the outcome, although it didn't make me happy. But he has his honor intact. I agree it was a good season. I still can't get over that one chick who thinks she's so good-looking and says she relies on her looks to get her stuff. She's not that good looking. Interesting the way Jeff chose to read the votes. Was there really only one vote? Was it not even close? Bet that made for some interesting discussions in the back room. I'm suspicious that Tony's wife couldn't make it - bed rest for being pregnant. Bet we're going to hear that they split up. Maybe I'm too cynical, but maybe she saw who the real Tony is. You can't be proud of being married to someone like him. Who knows - maybe she's just like him.

Dumb Choice by Woo???? I don't know. I can see it as a reasonable roll of the dice. If I were Woo, I could have been thinking that since Tony had been so manipulative and had betrayed so many on the jury that there would have been a strong feeling of "Anyone but Tony" among the jury. If I were on the jury, I would see voting for an opponent who has outplayed me fairly or out-strategized me honestly as a very different thing than voting for an opponent who has sworn to be faithful to his word and then gone back on his pledges repeatedly and backstabbed allies repeatedly. The questioning of Woo and Tony by the jury prior to the vote certainly didn't leave me thinking Tony would win the vote. There was quite a bit of hostility toward Tony expressed. But over the years we have over and over seen jurors who take the position "Well, he/she lied to me and lied about me to others and basically was a deceitful manipulative bastard, but I will forgive and vote for him/her anyway." Those jurors are a lot more forgiving that I would be. ----- One problem for we who are watching the series is that we see only a small portion of what actually goes on between the participants. I am disappointed that the Tony we saw on TV won. I might like Tony in real life. Can't know that one way or the other. But the Tony we saw was not someone I wanted to see win.
