What's more impressive, Russel the alpha male surviving till merge or Natalie the weak female surviving till merge? You may say that Russel had FF wrapped around his fingers, but A) you can't get rid of him cause he's a challenge asset, and B) Jaison and Natalie have both expressed in interviews that they were consciously using Russel as a shield, and for Natalie, it worked and she won a million dollars. So is he in control or is being controlled?

Post merge, what's more impressive, getting rid of Erik and changing the numbers from 8-4 to 6-5 (cause Shambo flips... remember she voted Jaison, she was still Galu at this point) or playing an idol and changing the numbers from 6-5 to 5-5? I think they're equally impressive strategic moves (because Russel solidifed John and SHambo, he didn't just win a scavenger hunt).

But Natalie's awareness of how Somoa worked and how the game works -- that Russel was a horse you could ride to the finish, that you needed to win a majority of the jury votes to win the game --shows why she was a more deserving winner than Hantz.

To this day Russel still doesn't get why he lost. He still says "no regrets" like the true loser he is. Had he been less of a douchebag post-merge he would've won the game. His social game sucked and his definition of social game is totally off -- he mentions his FF core but those people don't comprise the jury, the Galus did, and any moron could've realized that.
