I find it funny that you say women get portrayed in a certain way and it is unfair. If any man had played like Natalie did, he would have been reamed (just like Mick was).

did i say that? i don't recall writing that. I'm merely pointing the social dynamics between men and women, and how women historically get their power indirectly (they have to handle and figure out a way around that fragile male ego afterall). And I'm just pointing out that because we're still generally raised with the male point of view (maybe it's been around so long it's in our genes), the typically male charactersitics are espoused as AUTOMATICALLY better. Never said it was unfair, cause she won. If anything it just goes to show it being MORE fair, showing that other characteristics are just as valid and should be given credit where credit's due.

i'm not saying she masterminded the alliance, but she saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. being fully aware how russell saw her as weak and went with it all the way to the bank.
Mick did nothing. Can you point out anything he did? Have countless people already pointed out what Natalie did? How many times do they have to go over it. I'm not going over the Eric, turning point, never would've have made it to the end without it, boot again.

Yes russell controlled the game. but she was smart enough to use him to get to the end, stroking his ego to the point that he becomes unpalatable to everyone around him, and to the point that he underestimates her enough to bring her all the way, and making him forget basic human nature. People don't like to be treated like shit. All the while making strong connections with the people in the jury, not just in her alliance. that's a different kind of control that actually gets you the million dollars.
