darknight, in your response you gave zero evidence that, to quote you, "...best social player in survivor history (Nat)."

If you like simply tossing out statements like that as some defense of Nat and don't expect someone to say, basically, WTF, then you haven't been around here very much. Based on your total post count of less than 30, I suppose that's true. This is a place where statements like the above aren't simply accepted as "well, that's sure an opinion, all right." We like the give and take of a round table discussion. If you feel no need to defend it with any more evidence than a couple of quotes throughout the season, that's kind of disappointing.

Perhaps I was giving you too much credence by assuming you were serious. If so, my apologies, because your response gave zero evidence to support your claim, so there was apparently nothing serious about it.

The statement was in fact "POSSIBLY the best social player". And here are the reasons why.

1) She is the only one of the dumb girl alliance to survive Russell's culling of FoaFoa members and managed to form a strong alliance with him and the only time they had a disagreement was when Monica was trying to distrupt things.
2) She formed good ties with everyone in FoaFoa as far back as Ashley, Liz and more recently with Mick and Jaison.
3) Never been a boot target in her alliance. Despite the doubts within FoaFoa and thoughts of booting Russell (Mick called a snake), Mick(Russ said too likeable) and Jaison(revealed Russ's secret) none of the other FoaFoa havebeen shown having any reason to consider voting off Natalie eg her ties in Galu, likeable, getting close to Brett.
4) Formed ties wih Galu. Initially fored ties with Laura who along with Kelly she convinced to vote of one of their own in Erik. The Galu women appeared to trust her and despite the fact she didnt join their girls alliance and voted them all out they havent shown any resentment towards Nat and instead directed their anger towards Russell. that is excellent social game play to boot people and they still like you! That is an art very very few people (i can only think of JT) have learned as almost everyone has had at least one person who disliked them in the game.
5) Has formed a christian bond with Brett yet while its been noted by her tribe no one has any real doubts about her intentions. So she has been able to form relationships with Brett and still keep her allies strong and on her side. Even when she picked Brett for the last reward challenge, Russell said he was certain she would not flip! You can say either Russell is over confident orNatalie has built that relationship to the point even the strategic mastermind absolutely trusts her. I see that as Nat as formed really solid bonds and big acheivement on her part.

I wills top there as i am not even a Natalie supporter but here are a few examples. All you needed to do was ask and say what do you have to back this up? What you did instead was label me a ghostie. Well not everyone who has watched every season of survivor and has some knowledge about the game has been on this forum as long as you. So dont assume new members are less knowledgeable just becuase they havent been on this forum that long. I actually found this forum on a google search a long long time ago and the title of the forum 'Survivor Sucks' led me to believe it was an anti survivor forum and i never even bothered to check the contents until recently. The forum title probably has discouraged many others to not even bother to check whats going on here.
