Talk:Boredom Sucks, Anger is Fun/@comment-26485526-20191223125107/@comment-26485526-20191224033827

I feel like Joanne is acting out of anger more than out of selfishness.

She believed the tribe to be a family, and in her view, the word "quit" in and of itself holds a lot of weight. While you are correct in that there is not much difference between quitting and asking to be voted out, that doesn't change the amount of weight Joanne placed on the word itself.

You could argue that it is selfish of Joanne to hold the word "quit" in such a spot that prevented her from leaving, but at the same time. Although I agree with that personally, it doesn't change the fact Joanne was in tears, and very clearly distraught over holding the tribe back. I don't think you can really deny that last episode, it was pure emotion from her. Now that the tribe has denied her request, she's filled with rage and has become an F5 tornado.

The only person that has done the right thing this episode on Hwangjie is Cristian. His apology to Joanne may have come a little late, but at least he apologized for his part in how he made her feel. An apology is the least the tribe could do, especially Ophelia for instigating the whole thing, and if I were Joanne, I'd be downright pissed myself.

Even if it was for nothing, if I spent the afternoon, and much of the evening so down on myself to the point of tears, I'd hope that someone would have the decency to approach me after Tribal or the next morning, but the only one to do that for Joanne was Cristian, and that was even after his lie was exposed. So no, I don't blame her whatsoever for stirring up as much chaos as possible. I'm just hoping that for Ophelia's part in this, especially considering her complete disregard for how Joanne feels, she gets thrown in the hot seat herself.
