Here at SurvivorHunks, when we first
glimpsed Roger Sexton we assumed we were
seeing the next castaway in line to carry
the elder tribesman's torch. From Rudy
Boesch, to Rodger Bingham, to Paschal
English before him, Roger seemed a good bet
to reach the jury, and not such a longshot
to go even further.
But someone far wiser than us once intoned, "Of all the
words of tongue or pen, the saddest are
these: what might have been".
The poet might just as well have been
speaking of Roger. We watched with
mouths agape as he eschewed the silky-smooth
strategies of Rudy, Rodger, and Paschal, in
favor of something overbearing, and frankly
something rather curmudgeonly.
By now it's scarcely a secret that the keys to success
on Survivor are to shun the reigns of
leadership, to resist every temptation to
exercise control, and to avoid impugning
other castaways at all cost. He who
does otherwise does so at his peril ~ a
strategic lesson driven home again with
Roger's 10th place finish in Brazil.
