I really used to be that way as well. But when your playing a game against humans that betrayal is still going to sting, and even if you know deep down that it was probably a good move because you were either a big threat to win or a jerk, you still have to remember that at some point the game's power switches from the players to the jury so you have to have the social game down.
We saw Russell who was a brilliant and ruthless player, except that he was also vindictive and socially stupid and it cost him.
I mean personally, I don't think that Jason is going to be all that bitter about Tai's screw job against Scott, it was a solid move because Scott and Jason misjudged the social aspect of the game and made Tai realize that he was going to be on the outs.
But at this point, Tai's strategy may have been sound, but the way he presented to the jury was outright stupid.
