Okay, guess I gotta say something: Survivor, how do I feel today?
Actually a bit melancholy. Why?
The "positive attributes" of human nature and emotion did not win the game. The negative ones did.
And yes it was, in the end "just a game." A rather silly game at that.
The reward, money (the root of all evil?) - was not like "eternity in heaven" or anything.
But it's just too bad. I felt Rudy - with all his warts - was the closest one to "being a good person." I guess in the end so did most folks - he won the retrospective poll regarding who should have won the money. And quite possibly all "the very good people" were voted off early.
If what Rich did to win is perceived by some (many?) as the correct way of going about things in order to win, or how to conduct their lives - then the general condition of our humanity is in very bad shape.
I say, "Let those all the assholes like Rich win - I'll continue go for something more like heaven."
