Okay, so I took a month break from this, but now I'm back. I'm happy to say that I will have a barf bag available for survivorisdabest. Here you
go...
2. Tina Wesson convinces the others that the "Good People" should go to the end, and in doing so, leads Colby to pick her to go to the F2 over an obvious goat.

What can I say? Richard may have invented the game with alliances, but Tina was the first to take it to the next level. While she made her first big move in the fourth episode, she was quiet until after Ogakor got the post-merge majority, and then it's not entirely clear how it happened, but everyone pretty much knows that Tina initiated a movement among Colby, Keith, Liz, and Rodger that the "good people" should stay, meaning those four and herself. Now if that ideal final five were to be (which was the case, of course) then it would mean that Tina/Colby/Keith would finish off their semi-interrupted Pagonging, and they would become the final three, in which we know that the immunity whore would take Tina to the end, and the goat probably would have, too. And the fact is, Tina would have beat either of them.
Now, you may ask, how does this show that Tina is smart? It only shows that the others were stupid to not be able to form a counter alliance. But why couldn't they form a counter alliance? It was because some combination of Rodger and Elisabeth were hooked onto the "good people" idea courtesy of Tina's brainwashing. Tina had them wrapped around her little figner, and they couldn't escape. After she reached this amazing (for her) F5, she naturally disposed of the two remaining Kuchas, and they had no hard feelings towards her, which brings me to another point. Tina kept her strategy hidden so Colby got blamed for all of the "bad things," though a couple of the jurors (notably Jerri) caught onto the fact that she was the mastermind. Her other votes were a result of the enourmous respect everyone had for her.
The pagonging finshed at the F3, but even that was almost interupted by Elisabeth having a sudden case of self-righteousness in which she claimed she deserved to go to the F3 over Keith. Although it is unknown if it was Tina or Colby (or both), this idea was smartly shot down. At the F3, the immunity whore won again, and Tina's "take the good people" strategy stuck with him when he cast his vote (which even Jeff Probst called surprising). The fact is, Tina pwnt all of her competitors and was miles away from them without anyone realizing until it was far too late. While her strategy would be considered mediocre now, it was way ahead of its time and that's why I put her this high.
