In any F2 situation, the bloated Juries would have never existed (one would hope), so Brad, Rebecca, Jenny, Rocky, Lisi, Michelle, Jaime, and Marcus would not have made the Jury. Also, there would have been an F3 Immunity challenge, so there is no real way to say what that challenge would have been, who would have won it, and how they would have voted. However, I think it's safe to say that Ozzy would have probably won any challenge thrown at him in Cook Islands, and would have taken Becky to the F2 over Yul. Yul and Sundra would definitely vote for Becky over Ozzy. Jonathan would also likely vote for Becky, since he never really respected Ozzy and assumed (probably correctly) that he would blow a million dollars quickly. Parvati and Nate would vote for Ozzy, as would Adam, since he had promised Yul his vote for eliminating Jonathan, not Becky. The key vote would then be Candice. It's really hard to say which way she would have voted. She was definitely a player and didn't hold a grudge towards strategic people, even if they had bested her, which is why she voted for Yul. The question is whether she saw Becky as a follower instead of an equal partner in the Aitu alliance. My guess is she probably did, since most people perceived Becky as a follower if they weren't directly aligned with her, and Candice would also probably be influenced to vote for Ozzy by the other Raro kids. So I think Ozzy would win 4-3.

In Fiji it's more difficult because you have the car deal. Would Dreamz give the necklace up at F4 if he knew he would still have one more round to eliminate Yau-Man? My guess is he wouldn't. Earl and Yau-Man were going to vote out Dreamz at F4 whether or not there was a F2, and Dreamz and Cassandra knew this. Yau-Man would still leave at F4, and I think Dreamz would probably still win the final challenge. If Earl won it and took either Cassandra or Dreamz, he'd still win by a large margin, though it would be 6-1 since Cassandra and Dreamz would vote for each other. If Dreamz won, he'd take Cassandra, and get slaughtered. Sympathy stories be damned, Cassandra was a very integral part of that season's politics and the other contestants knew it (which is why she was Alex and Edgardo's target at the pivotal F9 TC). Earl, Yau-Man, Boo, and Stacy would probably be a lock for Cassandra, since Stacy liked her, Boo and Yau-Man were upset with Dreamz over the car deal, and Earl actually respected her. Alex, Mookie, and Edgardo are harder to peg down, since they all clearly hated Cassandra from the moment the merge happened, but they were also livid with Dreamz for turning on them. Seeing how Fiji's theme was basically spite, I could see them voting for the enemy who was always on the other side (Cassandra), over the enemy who had once been their ally (Dreamz). Cassandra would then be our first unanimous winner.

China and Gabon... I don't really care about. In those seasons, the F3 format was known and most of us assumed it was here to stay (since the only F2 between Cook Islands and Gabon was in Micronesia, and that looked like it was largely a last-minute change to the multiple medical evacuations and quitters that season). The contestants also were planning for it, so it became integral to the game dynamics from a very early stage, and thus I would say that those F3s are very "legitimate," in that the contestants had the F3 in mind from the beginning. In Cook Islands and Fiji, at least, the F3s were surprises, and really fucked up a very well-played game by Cassandra, and would have led to two different winners than the ones we had.
