ugh, where to begin with this post...so much wrong.

Natalie is playing a much better game than Russell.

Natalie is playing a different game than Russell. Even if Natalie wins a million dollars, it doesn't mean she played better...it means the jury liked the way she played in comparison to whoever else is sitting there. This remains to be seen.

At Foa Foa, being not one of the strong ones, she did her best not to be targeted.

By allying herself with Russell. She knows where her bread is buttered. I'll give you this one.

She layed low and kept quiet to keep the target off of her until she saw an opening, while being social.

If not being old and decrepit, not being vocal about her distrust for Russell and not being racist is keeping the target of her back, you can have this one, too. I'm assuming the opening she saw was Russell? I'd say the only person being anti-social was Ben... if this is your arguement for playing the best game, congrats to Mick, too.

She befiened Laura when she came to the camp and she also befrieded the girls during the merge.

I'm pretty sure the only person who wasn't friends with the girls was Shambo. Russell saw through Laura as much as Laura saw through Russell. As far as befriending the girls at the merge, what else was she supposed to do? Be a bitch? Its part of her social game. No better or worse than any other Foa Foa. I'd rank Natalie's perception of her actual chances to survive a Pagonging slightly under Russell's but way more than Jaison or Mick.

Russhole couldn't convince the girls to vote out Erik.

Russell couldn't convince *Laura* to vote out a Galu. Voting out Erik wasn't even Natalie's idea.

NATALIE convinced them.

I'd say the person that convinced Galu to vote out Erik was...drumroll... Erik. Natalie passed on the info that Erik's target was Monica. Jaison told Mick and Natalie that he wanted to throw the Foa Foa votes at Erik for being so condescending. Natalie ran with it. If that, along with finding a rat, is the reason there are still 4 Foa Foa left on that island, then *maybe* she's playing a F4 type of game.

And worse, Russell played an Idol he didn't even for real need,

Russell shows the idol to Galu, hoping they won't talk. If I'm not mistaken, Laura knows, John knows, Erik suspects. The jig is up. Natalie comes to Foa Foa and says "Galu says they're going along with the Erik plan, so vote Erik." Does Russell just believe everything that Galu says and pocket his idol? He's got to believe there is a possiblity that its a move to fish out his idol. He can't really use it to make alliances anymore and he doesn't want to "be the jackass that doesn't play it and gets voted out," I believe were his words. Anyone who says they wouldn't play their idol at that point is a fucking liar. Or someone who is happy with 12th place.

which made him get more enemies,

Really? When he went into the merge, he had 4 friends and 7 "enemies." Tell me who else joined Galu in the "I hate Russell" parade. Did Jeff start disliking him?

and Natalie is just sitting pretty.

I hate to tell you this, but when Dave read out his boot list, Natalie wasn't last. Look for it, watch it, read about it...whatever you have to do. Unless you mean Natalie is pretty, then I give you this. If not, you couldn't be more wrong.

Now with KELLYS boot, of course Natalie went with it, but she kept quiet about it. She knew that if she opened her mouth, she would get in trouble. She voted Kelly simply so that Russell wouldn't see it as a mutiny and target her.

I don't know what you're reading into here, but Natalie voted Kelly for no other reason than Kelly wasn't Foa Foa. Does Natalie have a boot list in your mind? I haven't seen her once telling anyone in Shamboa Boa who they need to get out and in what order. Russell and Shambo made the plan, explained why Laura needed to go. Then explained why Kelly was the backup, in case Laura won immunity. What part of that didn't go as planned? Laura won immunity, but there was a backup plan. Natalie had ze-fuckin-ro to do with it. Mutiny? She was there when Shambo came to camp. She was there when Shambo gushed about their acceptance and bitched about Galu's 90210 attitude. So, what was it that she was afraid to open her mouth about? Targetting one of the men instead? Four Foa Foa, three Galu men, four Galu women. Natalie *knows* a woman has to go, and it isnt Shambo. Natalie wrote that name down with as much gusto as Jeb Bush did for George 300 times a few years back

So basically shes laying low and playing a social game while Russell basically kills himself and loses jury votes.

Yes, she's laying low. Yes, she's playing a social game. Russell is alive and well. From what I see, the jury either respects one game over the other over the other. If I had to bet my life right now on who Erik would vote for if there were 3 Foa Foa at FTC...after the last TC, he votes for Russell, and you know it.
