Todd was the second gay winner after Richard Hatch! I think he's one of the better players to win based no how he played the game, btw. J.P. wasn't the least stereotypical guy they've had on the show, I think. Spencer from Tocantins had a couple people fooled... JT apparently thought he couldn't have been gay because he liked sports. XD He ended up being a forgettable early out, unfortunately. Brad from Cook Islands wasn't very stereotypical either, but we never actually saw him. He was pretty absent for most of the show. I'm all for the show picking non-stereotypical gay guys, but only if they're interesting. Boring people make for boring TV, after all. The sooner people see that it doesn't have to be a bad thing for men to be feminine, the less of an obligation Survivor will have to defy stereotypes with its casting.

On a side note, I think the lesbians of Survivor have been a lot less stereotypical than the gay guys even though there have been less of them. There's been Sonja, Shambo, Scout, and Ami, and the jury's still out on Natalie from Fans vs. Favorites. I dunno why that's the case, but I think it's interesting to look at.
