I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It got a tad ridiculous.

Yep. I'm very familiar with Holmes' former Christian community at Gordon College, and the whole TAG (talk alone with God) thing was very funny to me. But otherwise it sort of veered off the rails.

I can see how a desperate person would think that, but actually say it? Yeah, an asshole.

What a fucking douche. They shouldn't ever have this dick back on the show. Even Probst is rightfully raking him over the coals.

The world is full of stupid assholes, but whichever channel airs the show is where the buck should ultimately stop with this sort of thing (even if it is sort of a mystery how it even made it past the editing room).
