  The Morality-Reality (TV) tour posted by Ferrick on Thursday, June 22, 2000, at 08:32:02:
Personally, I feel sorry for the team that lost  last night. They all seem to really get along  while the other team is busy "forming  alliances" and being cutthroat. Although,  Romana (the girl that got booted off last night)  annoyed me a bit when she all of a sudden  started working so hard when it came time for  the competition. I wonder if she had a feeling  that she would be the next one. My friends and  I were talking, though, and for $1 million, most  people would be dirty and underhanded. The  possibilty of instant wealth seems to bring out  the worst side of people. 
  I don't know, though, the untruths are really  unnecessary. Although, if you come off as  hard nosed you won't make many friends, but  it seems like you wouldn't make many friends  by being sneaky, either.  I don't know. It's tricky.
  > I'm sure a few people on here have been  watching Survivor.  If you haven't, the premise  is that 16 people are deserted on an island  and filmed.  Every three days, someone is  voted off of the island by the others.  The last  two people left are voted on by the previous  seven who were there.  The winner gets one  million dollars. > > Now, aside from all the strategies I've heard  about how to win/survive, it appears that the  only successful way to win is to lie at some  point during the 39 days on the island (i.e.  telling person A you are going to vote for  person B to get booted but actually voting for  person A).  First of all, do you think that  someone could win without ever lying?   Second, is lying acceptable in this situation?   Why? > > Bonus question:  Do you think a person who  would never lie outside of this situation would  lie because of the money or because it is a  TV/Game Show where the rules are different?
