Mitch isnt a written character. Survivor doesn't have writers and probably couldn't afford them anyway. Mitch is a real guy that probably will look this up on Reddit someday so try not to burden him with representing everyone here, or responding 'right.' People just tend to expect something that they have been exposed to the most. Communication is a two-way street, and as many studies have claimed, not just verbal. Eventually, there needs to be a middle ground found for people to communicate effectively. But in order to find it, it has to be OK to acknowledge the differences.
