I agree that it should've been less of a focus on why Adam won, but rather why Hannah lost. At the FTC, numerous people called out Hannah for being a flipper, or wishy-washy, while those same criticisms didn't apply to Adam.

Hannah was also incredibly defensive when she was called out on it, and that didn't rub the jury the right way.

Ultimately, that's why Adam won. If you can't justify your actions in the game, or you can't curb the jury's ill will towards you, then it's impossible to get their votes. It certainly didn't help her case, but it's not like she was ever going to get a vote anyway. I'm still surprised that Adam received all 10 jury votes... I didn't think it would be a landslide.

I truly do think that if Hannah had managed her case better at Tribal Council, she could have gotten a vote or two.

Still, you have to acknowledge that Hannah had alienated too many jury members before Adam even brought up his sick mother. Her FTC performance was the final nail in her coffin.

I personally don't believe Adam's mother won him the game, saying something like that would be like saying that Jeremy won Cambodia because of his unborn child. Yes, they are two different players of different calibers, but the premise still applies.

Did it help? Yes, of course, but I think that Adam had it in the bag regardless.
