China, Cook Islands and Gabon all had close/interesting final TCs, which wouldn't have occurred in a F2 scenario as there were obvious goats each time (Becky, Amanda, Sugar.)

I know you're a fan of F3--but come on, did anyone even remotely consider Amanda a goat before her final TC performance? Courtney was the clear goat, and if it'd been F2 and Amanda took Courtney to the end, everybody would've thought that Courtney had zero chance.

If anything, Amanda and Courtney (and later Susie and Stephen) proved that the viewer-perceived goats may not be completely up the creek while people who seem to have a solid chance can easily blow it, and that's the same no matter how many people are sitting in the end.

I agree that Amanda was certainly not a goat but if it had been a Final 2 and she had won the Final IC, she would have taken Todd to the final 2 rather than Courtney, who she thought was not even trying to play the game (which was true). After seeing her play two complete seasons, I'd say that Amanda is not terribly bright.

Ozzy is not much better than Amanda. He voted against Becky rather than Sundra to force a tie based on the fact that they both played the same type of game and were equally deserving. He would have been better off voting out Sundra since Becky's jury vote would have certainly gone to Yul whereas Sundra's vote might have been up for grabs. If Cook Islands had a Final 2 and Ozzy had won the last IC, he would have likely taken Yul over Becky. Based on seeing them for 2 seasons, both Ozzy and Amanda seem to be foolish enough to take the more deserving person to the Final 2 rather than the 'goat'.
