New to sucks, but I couldn't resist typing an entry on this one! This is what I imagine Coach will say (next week I hope). In coach's mind, no matter what happens, he will always be the winner (and sprinkle in the words honesty, integrity and courage, a bunch of times and viola!).

Coach:
"I'm not surprised at all, I knew that as soon as I started living up to my true potential in this game, the rest of the tribe would see me as a major threat and that would put a target on my back. I knew the minute I won that immunity idol by using my focusing and meditation skills, my tribe would realize right then exactly what they were up against. I am not just a major physical threat, but my ability to focus on the task at hand can seem to the outside observer as almost superhuman or magical. I am a little disappointed in them though because I really did lead by example in this game and showed how it is possible to live a life full of honesty, integrity and courage and still be a winner. A true and honest warrior knows this and does not wince in fear in the face of a dangerous battle---he faces his opponent straight on with purity of intent and does not sneak around and poison his enemy.

The honesty part I understand is hard for people in this game---and it is hard to courageously and honestly face petty fears that go along with the realization of exactly what you are up against, especially when you know your own physical and spiritual limitations. And you know as the bible says, money is the root of all evil, so I am not surprised by their actions---but I am disappointed that in the end, they were not courageous or honest enough and had to sneak around to get the biggest threat out of the game. They were not courageous enough to go up against the Dragon Slayer with integrity, so they really are not the warriors they had the potential to be---which is why even though I didn't win the million dollars, really I am the winner. I didn't win the million dollars because I was not willing to sell out my integrity for the money. And for me, it really wasn't about the money anyway, because I know it is the root of all evil, but what I have said all along is that I wanted to change the game. So even though I didn't win the million dollars, there are going to be a lot of people who saw what I did here, and how I led the tribe and changed things about this game. What I did here is going to generate a lot of interest in me as a person---this experience is really going to open people's eyes as well as a lot of new doors for me in the long run. People will become inspired by who I am and what I am about, so I have many more adventures ahead of me!

I am the true winner because I played with honesty, integrity and courage and did not let my petty fears and superficial wants dictate my actions or lead me to sell out my personal values. And I never took the easy way out like they did. This is going to inspire a lot of people who were watching because I have shown them a way of life that is full of spirituality and will lead to strength and success.

I forgive them, and although I am very disappointed in them, I understand that because they really aren't honorable warriors, they had to sneak around to get rid of the Dragon Slayer. But really they lose in the end because now the rest of the world knows that they aren't honorable warriors like I am, and they are going to have to live with that in life after this game ends."
