And if you thought Burton was an asshole last night, prepare yourself for the scum of all time on The Early Show:
First words out of his mouth, "For the record . . ." he wants us to know that throwing the immunity was not just his idea, everybody wanted to do it.
Here we go. Assume defensive posture!
The reason he was targeted: he was a threat. Oh brother.
And Julie Chen, least subtle interviewer ever, doesn't allow him to slit his own throat, responds with, "Too good of a player, you were?"
Fucking idiot. No person on earth is going to respond yes to that. They may be right in the process of making the point themselves--he was already starting to--but when you hear it that bluntly coming out of somebody else's mouth, it sounds way too conceited. How did she get this job?
So he makes an uncomfortable face and says, "I mean--" And that's as far as he gets. She cuts him off with another question. You idiot! Fucking newsmodel from hell!
Her question: "Do you feel betrayed . . . ?" Because Shawn turned on him, too.
Burton's response: "After watching the show last night, and after seeing Jon saying that Shawn and he were in an alliance, my guess is that at the end, Jon said to Shawn, 'Hey, we're voting Burton off, jump over to our alliance now to keep going in the game.' And anyone would have done that, no questions asked."
Huh. Interesting theory. If you accept Jon as the puppetmaster, Shawn the lemming. Those two have an alliance, but Jon gets to make the important decisions. And in this world, there are three different alliances, and Jon made the last-minute decision to join his and Shawn's (two-man alliance? they set up an alliance of just two?) with the others. Hmmmm. Sounds a pretty farfetched, but anything to avoid believing that everyone really wanted him out of there.
Julie doesn't question it, goes right on to how dislikable Jon was.
Burton thought Jon was hysterical, though "he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way."
Finally, Julie has something harsh for him.
