The editors on "Survivor" can be brutal. James, the homophobic ne'er-do-well cracker, was never likeable, but they really put the target on his back last night. I couldn't figure out in the past why he got a free pass from his tribe after so many screwups, but I guess with so few left in the tribe, he could no longer hide. Him and his "Hey, Vern!" and his filthy boxer briefs are sitting out the rest of the show, and good riddance.
This show we got to see James as the only tribe member to contribute nothing to a rare Ulong win, the "navy knot genius" whose super knot got untied in about thirty seconds to lose the challenge for his team. We also got to see him talk about how "his God" wanted him to win instead of Ibrehem's God (Allah), and we got to see Jeff Probst chew him out for being such a dope in challenges while at the same time criticizing Ibrehem for one screwup (which James chewed Ibrehem out for at the start of the show ... no one has been chewing out James for screwing up so much, that's for sure).
I guess by making James such an obvious villain, it makes it easier for viewers to stomach the depressing reality of another Ulong loss.
