I agree with all of this, except for the part about not making enemies being different from the social game. If making enemies is an example for a bad social game, why wouldn't NOT making enemies be a good social game? In my opinion, the social game is about being RESPECTED, and clearly Michele was respected enough to get votes.
 * I know some people will say "Oh, Michele went 24 days without attending Tribal Council, she must be good." That's because of challenge wins by her tribe, and from what we saw of her pre-merge, she wasn't very good at challenges and brought her tribe down. It has little to do with her. If anything, she became a challenge hindrance.
 * Joe medical evacuation helped her. I don't think it's that much of a surprise, since many people have reiterated this statement, so I won't dwell on it too much. She was going at F5.
 * I just want to point out that there's a difference between a good social game and not making any enemies. From what I saw in the episodes, no one specifically said Michele played a good social game. They just said she was a threat and she didn't have any enemies on the jury, which is different from being viewed as a good social player.
