Mike seemed pretty likable in the first couple episodes, being a war hero and just being an all-around nice guy. Unfortunately after this he just became the season's narrator and it became pretty apparent that he wasn't going to have very much to do with the overall story. And in fact, for the second half of the game all he did to stay alive was win (or even just not come in last) in Redemption Island duels, and he really didn't matter that much, and didn't even come back into the game. The moment that really kills him is when he wins the loved ones duel and has a choice - he gets to see his loved one, Matt and Ralph (the other two on Redemption Island) get to see their loved ones, or Rob and his Zombies get to see their loved ones. So what does he pick? He gives the loved ones visit to the very people who systematically took out his alliance and are obviously going to continue to dominate the game. I would have been okay with either of the other two choices, but this really just made me let out a big WTF to him.
306. Mike Borassi (Samoa, 19th place)
There are plenty of reasons to hate Borassi. First off, he starts out his edit 10 minutes into the season by expressing his shock at Jaison's swimming abilities by saying that, "Afro Americans are not known to be swimmers." Yeah, we all know that, and Jaison himself had even said it going into the challenge, but it really sounded kinda racist the way Mike said it. Then of course he appeared totally useless in the challenges, staring off into space making the puzzle, and of course because Russell was all "ZOMG gotta start betraying people on day 1!" he wasn't the first one voted out, which ended up screwing over the tribe because he was medivac'd the next episode (after bragging about wanting to "RUMBLE!" in the challenge), and, in a bulls*** executive call, they still had to go to tribal and vote out another person, even though he was clearly going home that night. And this is even worse considering the fact that he was originally cast for Tocantins but was pulled last minute due to (surprise surprise) medical reasons, but they decided that an overweight, old man could hack it in an even worse environment a few months later. But I do have to say that for all these things, Borassi actually seemed like a pretty cool and fun guy. Even if he didn't come through with it, he had a ton of excitement for the challenges and it would have been interesting to have seen him get further.
