There is a gigantic difference between the jury on a reality show and the jury in a court room, and if someone has difficulty distinguishing between them, that's worrying. In a courtroom there is an objective truth that the jury is trying to find; on survivor there is a subjective truth the jury decides on. The truth in a courtroom lies in the action itself, not in the decision of a jury; the truth in survivor lies in the opinions of the jury. On Survivor each juror decides who they want to win based entirely on their opinion, and one's opinion cannot be wrong when it's a subjective matter, wheres a jury in a courtroom can be wrong, because it's not their opinions that define the truth, but the evidence. If new evidence is found to dispute the jury's findings, then their opinions were wrong, because it is an objective matter.
