In the exact, same words that I used on YouTube, Survivor Sucks, FB or any social media out there with these kinds of comments (and mind you, I didn't cut-and-paste this from my comments there), here's my take on Sandra:

Sandra aknows she can't a challenge to save her life, but she sees the game in its bigger picture, that challenges are only there to make your game easier. Not that I devalue challenges, it's just that, rewards are only there to improve well-being and camp life, while immunity grants security. Sandra cannot afford those luxuries on her own because she's not an athlete like most of her comrades, so she has to rely on her street smarts to compensate. So in the grand scheme of things, challenges are nothing really.

To play Survivor, you have to play with who you are what you have. Sorry if you think Sandra is pathetic because she didn't have the athlete card on her deck, but she played whatever cards she had and used them to the best effect.

On the other hand, Russell had no regard to those he insulted and sent to the jury (and several of the players he played with can attest he did some things offscreen that were viler than what you saw on television), that's why he won't win and will never win. It's not about the jury being bitter, because, Yul, Earl and Todd all won by planning out how their season will become, and still received the jury's favor. So don't say that the jurors got misguided by Russell's aggressive gameplay, because it was Russell's fault in the first place for treating them like a piece of dookie. Survivor is not just being the most apt athlete, or having the most brilliant strategy to eliminate people, because it was not always the case. It also depends on how you carry yourself especially with people who you send to the jury.
