Out of the 10 returning players on the new "Survivor," he seemed the one least deserving of the title "favorites."
Indeed, snaggletoothed snake Jonnny Fairplay (this was his wrestling name, remember?) was one of the most underhanded players of the game, though he's introduced in the series as having "played the game perfectly" despite having lost in "Survivor: Pearl Islands."
Already he was wasting no time in ingratiating himself to two different foursomes -- one with bug-eyed Eliza, Jonathan, Yau-Man and Amy; the other featuring impending couples James and Pavarti and Amanda and Ozzy (who apparently hook up next week). But like a guy whose days wandering around a jungle for 39 days are behind him (how can he go out to nightclubs this way?), he began thinking of home, his girlfriend and their impending baby.
Soon he was weeping over the soon to be born baby (Piper, a girl who was actually born Jan. 18) the way he once pretended to weep over his dead grandmother, who of course wasn't dead at all. So when the lazy-looking "favorites" lost their first immunity challenge to the fired-up team of 10 fans (so far not a personality among them), he talked himself up as a guy everyone could vote out.
And what little else he's accomplished in his life, Fairplay did succeed as the guy you love to hate. So he was the recipient of the show's first near unanimous 9-1 vote at tribal council (despite his pleading, Fairplay ended up voting for Ozzy).
It was almost too easy.
"I definitely feel I did the right thing. I had every single perso here eating out of the palm of my hand and to go out on my own terms, I'm very happy with that," he said over the credits, probably still lying. "Last time i was the biggest badguy ever, this time I'm the responsible adult that people like, some even love."
Love to hate, Jonny. Love to hate.
