Coach played so well!! such a disappointing ending he truly deserved to win

Well, if they're going to have to watch things play out from the loser's side of the room, they might as well pull faces and have fun doing it. Coach always took that role quite seriously though, and it's a good thing too, because I think he voted for the right person both times. JT deserved it in Tocantins, and though Sandra deserved it based on strategy, Parvati was a beast in challenges. You can't really blame them for being bitter though. A million bucks is a lot to lose.

@Cereghini The jury was incredibly bitter this season, which is what really ruins Survivor.

I always laugh when I see the jury pulling faces and laughing at the players during tribal council, they're on the jury because they failed, they should be taking notes to the players that are still in the game and not acting like they're experts. But like it or not, It's apart of Survivor forever, we all know that If It's taken to a public vote, the person with the most air-time will win.

The perfect player...is there any such thing? You're basically going to be hated for SOMETHING out there regardless of what you do. Rob only won his last season because his other tribemates were idiots, but Russell could never win that way because he was much too obvious about it. Like you say, a person needs a good mixture between gentile and aggression, but that balance is difficult to find sometimes. Coach found it this time, but STILL, to no avail. That ticks me off.

[IceYourPimpHand]

Flying under the radar is a good strategy, being the least hated in the final 3 is a good position, but It's just not impressive, anyone can use that strategy. I've always thought that to be successful in Survivor, you need to to find the perfect balance between calm, and aggressive. Russell plays a great game of blindsides and controls the whole game, but he goes too far when he laughs at people whilst their torch gets put out, maybe If he was more humble, he'd be the perfect player.

@IceYourPimpHand

She was a nonentity. Flying under the radar is a legitimate strategy, but I've never liked people who get to the end that way. It's like...there's Russell and there's Sandra. Russell did everything wrong on the one extreme, and Sandra did the same on the other extreme. And yet they both made it to the end twice. Coach was an active player all three times, but maybe you're right about the cult thing. That raises the question of whether it's better to be loved or feared though.

[IceYourPimpHand]

@Cerghini Coach's room to play after the merge was severely limited, which really is what happens when you use the "Family" strategy, rather than the "Cult" strategy.

I think Coach deserved to win, the Jury once again, was incredibly bitter about everything, If you can't say Just one positive thing about the final 3 players, then you know you're bitter. Sophie did nothing in the game, besides act like a little brat, and Albert got to the end because Ozzy took his place at No.1 target.

I love Coach- an amazing person, he did great I wish he won- but oh well I´m sure greater things will be coming his way! Cheers ;)

@IceYourPimpHand

Rob's tribe was stupid enough to let him use them all like slaves. Coach's tribe was treated well enough by their leader that they almost had no choice but to love him. While the dynamic lasted, I think he did a spectacular job. It was after the merge when things fell apart for him, because I think he really did want to play the game with Ozzy. The problem was that no one else wanted to, and he had brought them all so close together that it was easy for them to get Ozzy out.

[IceYourPimpHand]

@Cereghini There's a lot of idiots on the YouTube, I always enjoy getting under their skin.

And you're spot on, Coach brain washed his alliance very well, Rob's alliance even knew he'd win If he got to the end, and they still didn't do anything, Coach was just asking for a heart broken jury, but I still think he deserved to win, Sophie did nothing special.

I was surprised with who Coach took to the end, I would had taken Cochran for obvious reasons, and Brandon.
