        <![CDATA[ I&#39;ve noticed that Sucks loves to rank the game&#39;s players, and I&#39;m all for it. Just some observations I&#39;ve noticed in the last month or two:


1. Most people tend to rank on who they like (and who they associate with), not on who really played the game the best.

2. It is pretty much impossible to rank these players based on their having played, at best, two times. So many different factors go into Survivor, from tribe
placement to tribe dynamics, to pure luck environmental... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ All you Amanda supporters are failing to understand one of the basic goals of survivor: to win the jury vote.
<br>
<br>
You can argue all you want that up until the FTC, Amanda played better than Todd (which is a debatable point), it doesn&#39;t matter. Even if, in 100 random
cycles of the game, Amanda makes FTC every single time and Todd only gets there 20 times, Todd would still be the better player. Amanda, even in 100 FTCs,
would NEVER WIN because she is biggest goat in survivor history... ]]></description>

<br>
&quot;They were like, &#39;Todd what do we do next!?  Todd what does this mean!?&#39;  So it&#39;s almost like they needed me there.  I really don&#39;t
understand why they didn&#39;t vote me off like seventh or eighth.  I don&#39;t get it.&quot;

Why did they all go to him asking those questions? Why not Amanda? ]]></description>
