S23 EP14 "Then There Were Five"
Peace, Love, TAR! :D:
Well Survivor is a SOCIAL game. Players like Russell, no offense, play a 38 day game, where they anger so many jury members they can't win.
Honestly, I believe that if your social game is good enough, you should never have to rely on winning challenges to stay in the game. Just my opinion though...
StephenWasHere:
Social Game > Strategic Game > Physical Game IMO
That's why very few challenge hogs win. Ozzy lost in Cook Islands (rightfully so) because Yul made all the moves. Heck, Cochran was super close to beating him. I think that if Ozzy makes it to the end, he's winning (unfortunately). Then, Coach will say that until he wins, the game is flawed. Then we'll get Coach vs. Russell

Personally, if I was a juror, I would vote for someone like Russell every time. I really enjoy watching smart, strategic players in this game, which has been really lacking this season, and quite frankly, it has been lacking ever since Heroes vs. Villains (unless you count Boston Rob's 'Buddy System' as a great strategic move :cmaslol ).
I get quite irritated when someone like Sandra lies on the beach for 39 days and gets awarded a million dollars for it, but unfortunately that's how the game works! :cmaslol (Although I won't comment on Sandra's first season, as I haven't seen it.)
That's just my personal thoughts! :cmas16

I wouldn't vote for Troll. Yeah, the guy was a very good strategist but Troll forgot one thing: you need to prove that you're the best player without rubbing it in once you face them. You have to take the feelings of the jury into account. Troll didn't -- worse, he totally ignored their feelings! I don't want to vote for a guy who not only didn't know how I felt about losing, but totally ignored it, and few of the jurors in either season he faced them did either! That's why he deservedly lost.

Glamazon Racer:
Perhaps I was being too specific in my previous post. I was simply using Russell as an example, and I was trying to say that I would always vote for the player who has played the best strategic game (not necessarily Russell, but any player who plays well strategically).
I completely understand why people hate Russell, and I sort of have a love/hate relationship over him myself. :cmaslol
