I disagree - Tori Mandy did us a favor.

The Mai Kai was the eighth, and final destination listed. If you are a sports fan, or a jock, or a fisherman, or a history-buff, or on spring break, you will have identified with one of the previous items, highlighted the item, and are likely already planning your Florida adventure, and are thus diverted away from the Mai Kai.

It is a sifting process, where the cream of the crop (the botanists and the kitsch lovers, and those who do not fall in any of the above categories) are saved for last.

There will be a few of the sports/jock/fisherman/spring-break types who will read beyond their initial category, and reach the final Mai-Kai listing ..... and that is fine. We will end up with the more literary, curious, and adventorous percentage of those demographics, who are likely be the good ones of the bunch.
