Well, at least we can agree on disliking him. I'll also give you 'good in challenges' but the rest I just can't agree with. Yes, he made an alliance on day one but he forgot that four doesn't make a majority in a tribe of ten and acted all cliquey and cocky, self-creating the 'circumstances' he was in pre-swap. He then made things even worse for himself by yelling at and criticizing his tribe for putting him on the outside, even though it was entirely his fault. He found two idols, failing to use either well (You can make an argument for the first one but the second one? *facepalm*). He didn't form the alpha male Three Amigo alliance, Malcolm did. His continually douchey attitude ensured that the Three Amigos alliance stayed at its small stature, specifically when he tried to threaten Dawn into joining them and only made the target on his back even bigger than it already was. Even if Reynold did miraculously get to the end, he wouldn't have won because no one except Malcolm and Eddie respected him or his attitude.

If anything, circumstances (Matt/Michael targetting Laura, swap, idol BS, Malcolm) are probably the main, if not only reason Reynold made it as far as he did. Otherwise, he would have screwed himself out of the game within the first six episodes.
