You are smoking crack, if you think those two had a similar game. It's as apple and oranges as you can get on so many levels. The only way that they are similar is that they both rank near the dead bottom of the least strategic winners. Not so much Vecepia (while she didn't do much her overall actions at least net her in the green... positive strategic gameplay), but Kristie was far into the red on her overall strategic gameplay. When all averaged out she committed way more actions that hurt her gameplay than helped it. And don't confuse that with, what you think Lee should have won? He would have been a bad strategic winner as well. But Kristie failed to make moves or commit to anything. Her social game was extremely rough. She never knew where she was at. In the rare event she did, it was because someone came up to her and told her what was going on, then she would do her interviews and take credit for the plays... she wasn't even lying to us, it was more delusional as though she really believed she was the architect.

I am always amazed how a players explanation of their game play to the jury can end up defining their game play (especially to the viewers) significantly more so then their actual actions/game play. Also, in reference to the viewer, it's amazing how short people's memories are. Don't get me wrong, while I enjoyed the season,  overall it had as a whole, the least strategic game players than any season of survivor... by far. It didn't hurt my enjoyment of the season, but it was extremely funny to observe, because it was like Survivor special olympics and I don't mean that in terms of show quality, because that was up to par. I thought Phoebe was a good player though... but I'm talking as a whole. And no, I'm not bitter about Kate and Connor deciding to vote out Pheobe over Kristie... another moment that Kristie delusionally takes credit for... which is ballsy given that she was essentially voted out, but thanks to the twist she was still in the game and as a result finds out from Kate that Phoebe was using her like a puppet, then led her to slaughter. Kate pushed the issue and Connor decided to keep his tight alliance with Kate over Phoebe.
