Natalie had another weak episode, but she still has a story aimed at beating "The Man Who Would Be King". No one else has a story connected to the win like Russell and Natalie.Along with Mick's 3 straight UTRs postmerge, this is Natalie's key advantage over the other nice but boring non-Russ Foas.
Why so many early scenes of Russell harping on her stupidity and how he was using her?
First, these have been contradicted by Natalie's edit as a whole, and even other things Russ has said about her (like her smartness in befriending Laura premerge). Second, Russ must have similar confessionals about Mick, which would be shown if Mick beat out Russ at the end.
