To the author: Very intriguing post. I do agree with most of the post. I do agree there was a bitter jury and that was a big contributor to Michele's win. I think she played a "nice" game. Although, she didn't do much, she was in the right place at the right time. She didn't sabotage people and make friends. As much as I appreciate people who make big moves, every winner even if you cannot stand them or think they are a deserving winner, have to have some kudos for winning, because they did at least one thing right.

Overall, the main reason why Michele won, wasn't because she was a social threat, or anything, (I personally don't think she was a threat) unless it's the case of a bitter jury (which it was) and in that case she was a threat. The thing about survivor, is that you don't know the strategies you need to win the game until you know who your tribe is. Every season is different, some tribes are so fixated in getting the weak ones out first, other times they want the strong ones out first, it is all about adapting. Some seasons, the FTC jurors vote for people who played the "best" game, other times, they vote for the person who made the less enemies. Survivor is constantly in flux, and with that idea in mind, is the very reason why Michele won. She happened to be in a final tribal council where the jury was bitter (or didn't want to vote for the other two) so they voted for her, because she was kind.

She did one thing right, although I do agree she wasn't the greatest player this season, the greatest things she did was go to a final three where the jury saw her as a kind player who didn't really manipulate anybody (really, because its survivor and everyone manipulates someone at one point).

So yea.. also I love Mark the chicken and kind of was sad when Tai had to let go of him at the end. Other than that that, the season was pretty good. I wish that Liz got to have spoken at the FTC and wish she made it further, I think the season would have been better had she been in it longer.
