Pet Peeves: People being lazy or late. Yep, he once cut a player on the spot from Dallas for sleeping in a meeting. And if you were late for a meeting, then....well, you were never late when Jimmy was in charge. I doubt he'll last very long being the oldest and most well known among the survivors, but I hope he proves me wrong.

he might have them running wind sprints on the beach dragging boulders tied to their waists to train them for challenges.

He might be likable but I don't think he'll hold up physically.

A week or so ago, my hubby and I were talking about Survivor XX1 airing soon and he said, "I wonder if Jimmy will coach his tribe a bit." His question was answered when we saw a clip the other night that showed Jimmy sitting with a few tribe members, nice as can be, telling them that they're doing okay, that they're in a good position. I don't recall the exact words he used, but that was the gist of his coach-like pep talk. Way too funny! I watch him every Sunday during football season. He's always full of love of the game. I bet he loves Survivor the same way. No matter how long he lasts in XXI, I'll enjoy watching him.

I love me some Jimmy Johnson, but why and how did he end up on Survivor? He will not be there for long. They will use the "He doesn't need the money" excuse.

He's friendly with a lot of the radio hosts here in Dallas/Ft. Worth and he's been on a lot lately. He said that he is basically a "superfan", who tried 5 years ago and was turned down, then 2 years ago but failed the physical, and now he's finally made it. He actually credits the Survivor doctors for saving his life because they found a blocked artery during his physical a few years ago. He would never have known about it if he hadn't gone through the physical.

ED is a physical problem - why is it thought to be shameful? People who have appendicitis don't feel they have to skulk to their doctor for help - The more we acknowledge physical and societal problems openly, the most likely people are to seek early and appropriate assistance -

Tnt, I agree. And Jimmy J does too, obviously. He's on my TV all day speaking about Extenze...although I can't understand it's relevence during the game of Survivor...apparently they all stink, and have grooming issues during the show
