The Yau-man takes one on Network TV - right up the ying yang

Sunday 5/13/2007, a date that will live in... oh wait it wasn't quite that bad. It was the first time on network TV that a black man violated a Chinese man. If you know not of that which I speak I am referring to the Survivor season finale. Yau-man had made one of the greatest single moves in the game of survivor when he offered the car reward to "Dreamz" in exchange for immunity at the final four if "Dreamz" won the immunity challenge. It was a great move for several reasons. One - Yau already had one hidden immunity idol, which he played at the very next tribal council, and it paid off since the tribe would have voted him out 4 to 2. Second - It kind of sets the stage for the vote at 5, because Yau has declared his allegiance to "Dreamz", so he is not voting for "Dreamz" if Yau wins immunity, which he did. So Yau has the final four he wants and a 50% chance at immunity, plus if "Dreamz" lives up to his end of the deal he becomes the one voted off at the final four. Brilliant. Except for the fact that "Dreamz" is the greediest, most deceptive, dishonest person to ever play the game and after he won immunity he didn't give to Yau, but instead voted Yau out. So in the final 3 it was "Dreamz", Earl, and Casandra. "Dreamz" had already screwed over 3 people in the jury, plus the newest jury member Yau, plus Stacy hated him, and I don't think Boo, Lisi or Rocky liked him. That leaves Michelle who never had the extreme displeasure of being on a tribe with him. Needless to say "Dreamz" got Zero votes in the finals. Which he should have realized he had absolutely no chance to win and the only purpose his greed served was to make himself look extremely bad and at the same time screw one of the best players ever, out of 1 million dollars. The other thing that makes me mad is that the whole time he was saying how he "couldn't wait to win immunity and give it to Yau," because he "wanted his son to see him keep his word and do the right thing". Except he didn't. So now his offspring will never have to live up to their word? What a dumb ass. I hope "Dreamz" gets how he gave in the "real world" because I don't buy his "it's just a game excuse". For one this is not just a game. It takes six weeks of your life, you're completely exiled from the rest of the civilized world, you have no communication with your family, and no food. Yeah, eventually it will be over, but it isn't like playing monopoly or cards against some friends at your house one evening. This is a significant part of someone's life and you should respect that going in. If someone is a better player than you and you give them your word for a brand new truck, then you should at least keep your word. I would never trust "Dreamz" in any capacity in the real world given what he did during the "game". If he can justify not respecting Yau's sacrifice and ability in the "game" imagine what "Dreamz" could do in real life. More like a nightmare if you ask me. Probably if you ask Yau too.
