Reply #23: It's not cruel to make alliances, blindside, and lie...

what's cruel is not sharing your food or making a person sleep on the ground or leaving out the same person every time there's a reward.

I hated plenty of seasons where those in control flaunted it and were rude about it. Meanwhile, others have found a way to get ahead without being cruel. To me, lying in Survivor isn't cruel...unless you are talking about your grandmother dying!
