User blog comment:King Piccolo16/Who deserved to win/@comment-5492377-20120627151456

Regardless if a viewer sees a winner as undeserving or otherwise, just think that it boils down to the people this person played with. It's the Jury's decision, and getting their favor is the only way to win. Each of them, consciously or unwittingly, successfully earned to plurality of the Jury votes which is the only thing that counts. Russell alluded this fact, that's why he lost thrice.

So, no matter what made them reach Day 39, if it earns them votes, complainers can't do anything about it, because it worked for them.
