Survivor winner talks strategy

The big finales of Survivor aired Sunday night, and this one went right down to the wire. But, when the game was over, this year's million dollar prize win went to 26-year-old Natalie White.

Yeah, a bitter jury caused Russell's downfall, but he's the one who made them bitter.

For what it's worth, bitterness is a given in most juries.

While he's been pretty well behaved so far, one look at the James / Stephenie debacle and the James / Randy whitewash should be enough to convince any savvy viewer just how bad it's going to get.

@jpad319 KOOL AID AGAIN OMG STFU U IDIOT!

[ButlerLewis]

@ButlerLewis Oh yeah. It's funny people say Russell Hantz was so mean and nasty when people who comment about him are probably just as mean and nasty, if not nastier. I mean seriously, you want me to drown. Your a mean person.

@jpad319 Sue Hawk says hi.

@ButlerLewis Like it or not, juries are entitled to vote ANY WAY THEY GODDAMN WANT. That's how the game is.

If the player was able to win over the jury despite what issues they may have against them, then they've won.

While nobody wants someone who feels sorry for themselves, they also never want someone who calls foul for a clueless twat especially after a couple of seasons have passed.

But if it makes you sleep well at night, keep on drinking that Kool-Aid of delusions until you drown.

I wanna shove all the bitter juries of survivor into a room and watch Bruce Boudreau's of a team feeling sorry themselves. The juries are often composed of a bunch of primadonnas who feel sorry for themselves for not winning the game. If they are so down about losing, they should outwork and outplay everyone. It's a game. Quit taking stuff personal. And remember nobody wants someone who feels sorry for themselves.

@IceYourPimpHand It wasn't how he played conceptually, I have no issue with deceit. He played in a way that pretty much made it his allies' game to lose. He made some good moves, but he had a slew of bad moves (i.e. not getting rid of Natalie, wearing the immunity idol around his neck). He was a prick, too. A key element EVERY winner had is they were generally pleasant to the jurors. Russell actively failed to do that. Ignoring a key component of the game is not good gameplay.

[IceYourPimpHand]

@TheLaddysaur Russell made pretty much every strategic move in the game, without him, they wouldn't had won their only immunity challenge, they wouldn't had been able to take down galu, and if they didn't, they wouldn't had been able to take out Brett at the final challenge, so he HAD to play like he did.

[TheLaddysaur]

@IceYourPimpHand Mick was entitled. And Survivor ALWAYS voted for the person they liked the best. ALWAYS. It's just the better strategists that know how to appeal to the jury.
