Atleast Johnny Fairplay laughs in a non smug way. Saying his grandma died is an oldschool lie... that even some kids would say for absences in school or some girls would say to have an excuse from dates.

I think he laughed in a VERY SMUG WAY!!! It may be an old school lie, but I do not know any respectable adults who would use it if they actually had a living breathing grandmother to whom they were referring. If they did, I would find them no less pathetic and disgusting than Johnny Fairplay.

I think what it all boils down to is culture. In this area ( and I don't live very far from Big Tom) there is a certain pride and code of honor among the "good ol' boys." When you've made a friend, you've made a solid friend who will stick by you. When you offend them, they demand restitution by means of apology--usually with someone present to witness that apology. However, when you've downright stabbed them in the back--game or no game--then you've thrown down the proverbial gauntlet. Tom's name and family honor were trodden upon and he won't get over that easily. Say what you will about sour grapes, bad attitude, juvenile behavior and such, but that really is pretty indicative of the culture around here. And when you talk about culture, you can't say that it's right or wrong or stupid...it's just the way a certain group of people do things, whether we happen to agree with it or not.

Maybe Rob's ways are just a part of his Northeastern culture. Maybe you can't say right or wrong about his behavior either. Just KIDDING!!!

I still think most of Tom's immature behavior took place before he knew about the insults to his son or family name. His really juvenile behavior took place at TC. He betrayed too, at least as far as we could see. I saw him telling Rupert that Rob had to go. AT TC, his feelings of betrayal were a little hypocritical in my opinion. I was better able to understand his behavior at the reunion show after he saw Rob's insults. At tribal council, I think it was just bitterness at having been out-betrayed.

Yes...but it doesn't take away from his immaturity at TC.

One thing that should appeal to you as another big Rupert fan -- I didn't like the way Tom spoke of Rupert's affection for his wife. I think Tom said he was disgusted by the way Rupert "slobbered" all over her. He claimed that was the reason he didn't take him on the family member reward with him. I respect a man for loving his wife enough to show affection in front of anybody in a circumstance like that. makes me love him more. It also makes it evident that Tom is a good ole boy in more ways than one. Not a lot of respect for women.

Actually, I think Tom's slobber comment was directed at Rob and Amber. Regarding Rupert and Laura, he said he didn't want to see them humping each other and that (besides the "cold tater" Rupert gave him) were the reasons he decided not to take Rupert and Laura with him on his reward with Bucky Bo.

You know, I realize how you feel about Tom's behavior after being booted out but I'll say this for him, he's pretty genuine. Is he the kind of guy my family would be best buds with? Probably not but Tom doesn't hide his feelings and he says what's on his mind. Those kind of people scare me but at the same time I kind of admire that kind of candor in a person...because I'm such a big chicken! :laff:

So does Sue Hawke (speak with candor), but it doesn't make me like or respect her any more. Some people are just too bitter.

Tom's slobber remark was about Rupert and his wife.

We also felt he was very immature at the TC and on the finale night. Rob apologized and offered his hand, to refuse it was rude. And that immature comment, "don't be stupid, stupid", that something I might ehar my grandson say to a friend.

Oh well, it is over and the winner is happy. We might as well be happy for them no matter how we felt during the game. And it is a GAME! Lips Sealed
