I always wonder about all that. How many times have people just destroyed themselves with pedaintradontal (foot-in-mouth) crap at tribal? I know that if I were there, Jeff would hate me because every answer I'd give would be completely non-committal and boring. A whole lot of, "I'm basing my vote on what I think the correct decision is." It makes me wonder if, A) these people are really that bad at the game, B) the hunger and exhaustion really do make it hard to realize just how damaging their answers are before they spill out of their mouth, C) they're more interested in portraying a certain character for the audience so people will remember them than they are in winning the game, or D) it's in their contract that they will provide more than vagueries for answers at tribal council lest lose claim to any prize winnings. Because holy hell, how hard is it so say, "I'm not stupid Jeff, I'm not answering your question."
