Comments made by James
"I am the most perfect man in the world," James stated, tongue firmly in cheek, early on in his Survivor Live appearance. This plus his propensity to refer to people as "crack head" is all you need to know about his sense of humor. He tried to keep a fun positive attitude on Survivor which was difficult with Ulong losing so many challenges. James maintains that his knot worked as advertised.

James didn't hold anything back when talking about the other players. Ibrehem is a good guy but he is lazy and James attributes this to bad parenting. Kim is a "lazy old skank." Bobby Jon didn't talk with him after he talked with Stephenie. And he feels that she betrayed him which pisses him off. He also said his wife wants to kick her ass at the reunion show. James says that he's not homophobic ("too bad") despite some comments that he made in regard to Coby. He regrets not keeping Angie around longer because then maybe he would have lasted longer. Jeff had a bad attitude and a "sissy foot" so he had to go. James confirmed that Ibrehem did go swimming in the lake with the Jellyfish, so maybe he's not as afraid of the water as I thought.

James was asked if he felt that he was accurately portrayed and he answered "yes." This got me a thinkin'. He claims Survivor didn't show a lot of what happened (how funny he was), he called Jeff Probst a "fibber" (re: time spent adjusting his toga), among other things. In ten editions of Survivor and over 100 competitors not one player has come out and said that he/she wasn't portrayed accurately. What are the odds of that? No one out of sour grapes (or just plain anger) has ever come out and said "reality show my ass, this is fixed and I wasn't accurately shown." So what's going on here? Well, as that great economist Ms Cyndi Lauper has said "money changes everything." I bet there's a clause in the contact they all sign providing for a real big monetary fine if they say they weren't portrayed accurately. I believe there's a similar clause about revealing the winner and other such information about the show.

Other Nonsense
Two more of those stupid Replay Survivor videos were shown (please don't send anymore in). The show ended with Jenna and James in a snack food eating contest (he won).

Finally as they faded out, I think I heard James say "my wife is a stripper" (did anyone else catch it?). I don't think that she can kick Stephenie's ass even if she is one of those tough redneck stripper chicks.

So ends James' fifteen minutes of "fame". He belongs to Alabama now.
