Had he not had that conversation with Julie after his eviction, I would have had a completely different impression of the gentleman. His actions in the house were horrible, yes, but he's a compassionate family man, who got to live a dream, for lack of a better discription, as he was a big Big Brother fan before hand. Someone at his age too, being his 'last hurah', and making it to the final 3... you have to respect that somewhat, regardless how he got there.
Or I could be completely wrong about the guy.

Libra as well as probably 2-3 dozen previous BB house guests all probably fall under the same umbrella. I don't think it makes you a bad person for going on the show and leaving your family and loved ones behind for three months. It's rather neutral in my opinion. However, I don't think you get to play the "I'm sacrificing and taking care of people back home" card while you're sitting in the HoH room drinking beers.
It also drives me nuts when people take personal circumstances into account when voting for a winner. To me, it should be all about how you play the game. Your integrity and character in the House matter as do your strategies and tactics employed along the way. It really shouldn't matter if you are a doctor outside the House and really don't need the money. That bugs me, but I'm sure others have their own opinion on it and no one is either right or wrong.
