Well, I would have to say that I'm somewhere in the middle of these two thoughts... Yes, it is just a reality TV show, but the prize is $500,000 (not so silly)...and I don't about you, but for me that would be life changing (had ovarian cancer last year, lost my job and almost my house). AND...there can be some integrity in the game play - and punishment if you don't follow the rules. Ex.: last season's Amazing Race (my fav reality show btw). Several times teams were given time penalties because they took short cuts or did something against the rules--and it ended up being game changing. It seems like Team K/N (esp. Nat) can break the rules any time she wants. I repeat....why didn't they just give her the money a couple of weeks ago and save the rest of the HG's the pain and suffering of these last few weeks.
You're right, of course, it is a lot of money...but I have to wonder if people would call out their faves for doing something they found unfair.
(FOR THE RECORD, I am not trying to argue, as I agree that what goes for one must go for all).
But...I was a huge fan of Michele...and when people were crying foul that Nat/Kevin were using a calendar, I couldn't really say anything because Michele was too.
As for the hand off the key last night. Did BB say that they had to be "holding" the key or "touching" the key at all times? (I'm seriously asking, because I don't know). If it was "touching", then Nat was ok...And at first when I saw Nat's hand on top of the key holding the rope, I thought "OMG" and then I wondered if I'd be as quick to point it out if Jordan had her hand off the key.
Believe me - I don't want Nat to win in the least. I don't want Kevin to win either. But I have to play devil's advocate just a bit because I have to question whether or not I'd cry foul if my fave did the same things as my least fave.
