He was (Boston) Robbed!

OK, I feel obligated to say something after last night's big "Survivor All-Stars" finale, in which Boston Rob came took second place, despite the fact that he DOMINATED that game. He shouldn't have wussed out like that last night being all apologetic and shit. So you hurt the feelings egos of the players you voted off on your way to the top - so friggin' what? From the Boston Globe:

The passive half of the season's power couple, Brkich prevailed by a single vote over fellow finalist Rob. And she was anointed by one of the series' most ambivalent and hostile juries ever. The final tribal council was a volcano of bitter feelings, as Lex, Kathy, Alicia, and Big Tom tore into Rob for his serial betrayals. "You have not outclassed us," Alicia said. "You used your friendships as steppingstones," Kathy said.

"You sold out your values, you sold out your character, you sold out your friends for a stack of greenbacks," Lex said.

IT'S JUST A GAME! Get a grip, people! You all got played by Mariano like a $2 scratch ticket. Deal with it.

Rob, you're the man!

Lex, you're a tool.

One more highlight from this article - noteworthy for its phonetically accurate reporting.

If you heard a strange noise a little after 10 p.m., it was a collective sigh from the direction of Canton, Rob's hometown. It was a sigh of disappointment when their boy lost, after host Jeff Probst announced Brkich's name live from Madison Square Garden. And it was a sigh of pleasure that Rob had secured his beloved Am-buh, after she accepted his televised marriage proposal made only moments before she won.

That's pissah, dude.

UPDATE: Not to be outdone, the Boston Herald's Survivor story from today includes this gem of a sentence:

Prior to the announcement of the winner and the surprise marriage proposal, Brkich and the Canton native had to endure one of the wickedest tribal councils since the first season.

That's wikkid pissah, dude.
