@PhonyReality Easily Natalie. She intentionally hitched herself to bad social players to win in the end. Sandra fought against that outcome for herself and stumbled into a win.
@Survivordle Varner. He’s had three attempts and failed to make post-merge a single time. No other player has had that many opportunities to succeed, cement some kind of legacy and continually failed.
@cabtot33@Tarannuobe@rosarywaif222 You could say that about Cirie, but it’s demonstrably false. She reaches the final 4 of Panama with Aras and Danielle working to take her to the final 2, and in Micronesia Amanda and Parvati opt to bring her to the final 3. Even on AUvW, Parvati votes with Cirie at the final 4.
@Tarannuobe@rosarywaif222 The issue with Christian is that he’s completely unable to manage his threat level. Sure he could win, but he’s more likely to be clipped in the late / mid merge. It would require pretty spectacular circumstances for him to make it to the end.
@sandeliond@JeffProbst I’m interested in what you consider to be “bad” jury management. Tony makes numerous in-game betrayals, but the jury comes out the other end respecting his game and him as a competitor. He beats an affable social player in the end pretty handily. This whole list is jumbled icl.
