That’s why I said the producers were in on it. Yes, he won a couple of challenges that could have gone the other way, but he also put out there some of the most heinous and laughable crap the world has ever seen. Do you remember the lingerie? It looked like something that Krusty the Clown would design. Why would the producers encourage him to sandbag? The same reason they encourage people on any reality show to go overboard, to overreact, and to overindulge their own egos. Producers actually spread gossip in confessionals to make sure you know all the dirt people are saying about you, so they can get a response, this according to people I’ve seen from the shows. And it makes sense. An antagonist creates drama, and drama draws audiences.

Makes total sense to me, though I passed on the reunion special. I did, however, catch the Andrae montage on [YouTube.com](http://YouTube.com). So funny.

In either case, Daniel definately did way too much whining, but I still want him to win.
