I'm late to the party so not much to add except that throughout the thread I've agreed with wisehand's thoughts, and I like keepitreal's passion.

James reminds me of an episode I saw of Survivorman, when Les said if you're stranded in a the desert, drink your damn water! They regularly find people who die from exposure and dehydration with half-filled canteens lying next to them because they were hoarding it.

Of course, had he been following my advice he would have used them already, but better to waste it to ensure you stay in the game than waste it and gain nothing. Besides, who woulda thunk he'd go 0-fer?

I think James had an excellent chance to win if he made it to the top two or three. A few might have resented his early domination, but I think most would applaud it--especially since he was also the hardest worker around camp.

And anybody using poker analogies should get a tempban.
