/\ Yep. Sorry about the delay. Short post coming up.

5. Pagong doesn't realize at the merge that Tagi formed an alliance (Borneo).

Conventional Wisdom: Pagong should have realized that there was safety in numbers.

Rebuttal: The counter-argument basically is that it was the first time the game was ever...

Are #5 - #1 in the works?

Nah, I still say Angie/Steph should've voted James at that point, because really, that whole "we won't vote for each other" thing also involved BJ and Angie in it as well (I think) and y'know, Steph voted both of them that time.

Jolanda was another victim of Stephownage. That's what she gets for targetting Steph so early. Jealousy really did get her nowhere.

ita with #6. People who say booting Ashlee or Kim would've been smarter are using the benefit of hindsight. Jolanda was abraisive, bossy and a hinderance in the first challenge. Ulong had plenty of people who were really good at challenges anyway (Jeff, BJ, Ibrehem, Steph, Angie). Jeff's ankle was what really screwed Ulong.

Jolanda being booted first definately is a blunder. Yeah, I agree that Angie didn't deserve to go, but the fact remains that there was easily enough votes to boot Kim or Ashlee instead. Its one...

I'm pretty sure a good bit of their losses came from bad strategy, and their own fault, actually...The only thing I wouldn't say is their fault is Jeff injuring himself. Ashlee/Kim/James/even Ibrehem all stuck around longer on that tribe than they should have. Heck, they should been the first 4 gone, or at least 3 of them should've been if you factor in Jeff quitting after the coconut.

Umm ......... could you direct me to the posts/threads that argue that Erinn made a blunder in this case ?

And the Sandra one as well.

I think you're REALLY grasping at straws here for your "listing".

I don't think anyone argued Erinn...

6. Ulong votes off Jolanda (Palau)

Conventional Wisdom: Ulong should have voted off either Ashley or Kim.

Rebuttal: We all know what an epic failure the Ulong tribe was, and we've all speculated on what, if anything, the tribe could have done differently to succeed....

I understand Debbie reaching her breaking point with Sierra, as Sierra was clearly more obnoxious than ever after Brendan left. But Debbie needed to swallow her pride and keep working on Sierra. She went all the way to "you don't want to work with us? Fine, bye you stupid bitch" way too fast. Understandable, but if Debbie/Coach truly knew Erinn had flipped to the Jalapaos... that doesn't make sense because Debbie/Coach thought THEY were with the Jalapaos, so I don't...

That makes completely no sense,...

Erinn did nothing wrong there. It was all Coach/Debbie/Sierra's faults, but I blame Sierra because she's a leech and Coach and Debbie are both g.oddesses <3.

Hm, I'm guessing from the hint 6 would be Ulong booting Jolanda? I actually think that WAS a mistake and that Ashlee/Kim should've gone that round, but I could be wrong about that being next on the list.

This is a list of moves in the game's history that most fans consider blunders but upon further scrutiny were logically justified.
