"Hannah is in control and playing the strongest game, Adam is a mess who is constantly trying to wrest control from Hannah but never succeeds in doing so, Hannah tclobbers Adam in the FTC while the only defense he can mount for himself is trying to take credit for her gameplay, and then at the last second Adam pulls his dying mother card and wins the vote unanimously. Countered by Bret's confessionals saying that the other side is stupid for voting out Sunday over Jay or David. Adam is the only one in the Final 6 to have a 1-on-1 connection with Jay (socially) & Bret (strategically), hence why he was able to be open on options. He used Bret's option in the F5 and thought Hannah would make a "logical decision" to vote out David (it is a 2-2 battle w/ Bret at the middle) but again didn't expect Hannah would make a questionable decision again. He did say all he needed was David to NOT get immunity and he did it and successfully got him out. We never saw any of that, that is the problem. All we saw was Adam being a mess (telling his secret to Taylor, his alliance saying he sucks, wasting two idols and making David waste his, trying to vote people out but doing whatever Hannah wanted him to do), while Hannah controlled the game from the F7 onwards. At the FTC, all we were shown him taking credit of were things he had done with Hannah. We never saw his bonding with anyone else other than Jay.

You can't say he won because he was a master stategist based on the edit (especially because he was a social winner, not a stategic one). The edit made it look like he won because of his mother.
