Holy shit, I can see just the length, tedium, and having a network microscope trained on you for _hours_ as reason enough to hate TC and really _really_ want to win the IC. _Hours!_ And I can see why some of the tribal lab rats in that fest become game-suicidal – “go ahead just vote me out, so I can get the fuck out of this stupid network gathering of the damned. Really, please, just shoot me now. Oh, yeah: fuck you, Probst.” ---

Wow! That can be deadly out there. That woman was either stupid or evil. Or both. Thanks for the link! Good interview!🆒 **Tangent** How would Joe know that Taj was the one who wrote his name down?😕 ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > **Tangent** How would Joe know that Taj was the one who wrote his name down?😕 With only a couple exceptions, they seem to always know where the votes come from. It can’t be that hard - there’s only five people that are voting other than you, and chances are you’re pretty close to at least a couple of them. I’m thinking there’s a whole lot of discussion about “how do you fill out your card?” and general curiosity about tribal that they discuss during the long hours of no distractions out there. ---

My understanding is that he does not watch _anything_. ---
