Not to mention the unfairness to the other players who unwittingly ended up in his tribe! This I think has been a huge turn off for a lot of people.
I cannot get over how unfair it is to the tribe mates who had such potential, but ended up on his team.
UNFAIR. How was it unfair? All the tribe mates on his team had to do was VOTE HIM OUT. Its thier own fault they allowed him to last this long. Debbi and Tyson were not forced to join his alliance. His tribe could have voted him out anytime before the merge.
It is not unfair. They made the decision to not vote Coach out.
Unfair is perhaps a strong word, but I'm sticking to it. When they included someone on the show who obviously couldn't pass a psych test and threw him on a team, they introduced a systematic bias into the game because one tribe has to deal with the literally "nutty variable" for all of the duration of the game, while the other team's merge members only for a portion of the game. And then Coach actually becomes the other team's advantage to boot because they are outsiders and have not been sucked into the tribe dysfunction.
However, if it's true that they fooled casting to the extent that this moron was able to pass whatever psych tests (c'mon, can you really see that happening? He couldn't hide his crazy before he even began the game!) then I guess it wouldn't be the producers fault. I'm inclined to think that they used him for "ratings gold" and for that emmy nomination that JP has been lusting after for so long.
