Ding Dong

I’ve watched a lot of seasons of Survivor. The current Survivor: China is season 15 for the show and I’ve watched since season 2.

I’ve seen some pretty despicable people play the game, but I always try to step back and remember that it is a game. As devious as someone may be in the game, they may not at all be like that in real life.

But for all the despicable people I have seen play Survivor, the worst of them all was voted off last night.

I speak of Jaime, the South Carolinean student who has shown her true colors repeatedly during the show.

Between blatantly disrespecting people, throwing challenges without any grace, rifling through peoples’ personal belongings and then laughing about it all when people talk to her about it, Jaime is by far the most mean-spirited person to ever play the game of Survivor.

It wasn’t just a game for her. She thought it was funny when she was mean to people. She thought it was funny when she went through someone’s things.

I hope she thought it was funny when she presented a fake immunity idol at tribal council and Jeff threw it in the fire and sent her packing. I sure thought it was.

Seriously, wherever she is I hope she has watched this season and realized just how horribly she played the game as a human being.

I hope she watches her actions and has felt a little bit ashamed every time she acted like a child or treated someone like they were garbage.

And what’s worse is that she is completely delusional. In her exit interview, she actually had the nerve to imply that people were scared of her because everyone liked her.

No one liked her. She made sure of that. It’s hard to like someone who is so completely and totally mean-spirited to the core.

I hope watching the show makes her realize that and prompts her to make some positive changes in her life.
