A Poll of my own

[gridlore]

If you aren't watching Survivor here's the situation. One of the contestants, Jenna, has a mother dealing with brain cancer. In last week's episode, they had an auction of treats. Each Survivor got a wad of cash, and they bid against each other for things like cake and a full breakfast.

After the food auction ended, Jeff (the host) pulled out letters from home, and announced that they would be auctioning off one letter. Jenna had blown all her money on food. Christie won her letter. Jenna began sobbing that it wasn't fair because her mom was sick, boo-hoo-hoo. She eventually got to read her letter. Mom is doing better.

Most of the readers on alt.tv.survivor saw this as just more evidence that Jenna is an extremely self-centered bitch. But a few people complained that she was heartless for going on Survivor at all while Mom was sick. Having fought cancer myself, I made the point that if Kirsten had this kind of chance, I'd let her go in a second! (I used the example of Burning Man in her case.) A raging argument has begun, so I thought I's ask you all. So, please take a moment and fill out the poll. Thanks.

I think the last one will kinda invalidate hte results to readers of a.t.s

I'm trying to get all the opinions. There might be someone who thinks "I don't want you to go on that show, it's stupid!"

Well, yeah, but someone who had that response would probably not want their relative to go even if they were in the pink of health.

For me at least, that was just the closest option that matched what I wanted to say. I do think the show is ridiculous, but hey. To each their own.
