I can't say what anyone else is or should be feeling, but for me, the only type of power that would cause hurt would be one saying "choose one player to remove them from the game". And considering all votes are vote-to-keep, I really don't think Gary would ever put such a power in.

I mean, I know getting barely beat out in the polls by someone who the next week bowed or byed out kind of stung, but that was mostly because I do see getting eliminated a bit as "great, someone else gets to stay and play" and disappearing out of the running ruins my rationalization.

(I'm also nuts. I played an FPS against a friend earlier tonight and was laughing my ass off as I got it handed to me repeatedly. I have practically no competitive instinct.)
