Jerks in the Jungle
Regarding the episode of the three men who went with that nutso tour guide into the Bolivian rain forest, okay, could that main surviver have been any more cold and callous about the "friend" they left behind?
I understand he was bringing their mood down a lot, but it just seems to me that:
A: He was getting increasingly sick with his foot infections, which they all knew about, and,
B: He sensed the tour guide was whacko and therefore had a lot of anxiety about it.
So the other two leave him behind with the tour guide to go down the river, and the two of them get lost and eventually find each other, and the ENTIRE TIME the first man never once mentions worrying about the one they left behind.
Sure, at the end he said he had "assumed" he had made it to safety with the tour guide. Not sure why he just assumed that, since he never heard from him again. But I think the worst part was when he said "I know leaving him behind was the right thing to do." Um, WHAT?!?!?!? He DISAPPEARED FOREVER, ILL AND WITH A CRAZY MAN LEADING HIM! How could leaving him have been the "right thing to do" since the outcome was so dark and frightening????
I'm telling you, with friends like that...
