I understand there are no rules for how to vote as a jury, but that doesn't mean I as a viewer can't call a juror's reasoning stupid. Where do we draw the line? How nice you were to me, pick a random number? At a certain point, a stupid jury is a stupid jury. In my opinion, those who support Natalie support the Kelly/Lil/Ambers of this game over the Hatch/Heidik/Sandras Not all of us. Heidik and Parvati earned victory in their seasons and Natalie earned win in this season. Snadra - can't compare, Lill being an outcast had to have been a big help for Snadra which other's didn't have. Russhole did many things to earn win this season...unfortunately for him he also made many mistakes and it cost him the game. Intelligent jury considered all the facts and decided to give more weight to his mistakes.

People only think that Natalie did nothing because she editing showed her doing nothing. It's the editors that fucked up hard this season, not Natalie.

Editing showed Natalie say, "Russell is a bold player who no one likes, and I build great relationships, so that's my game plan." Editing showed Natalie remove Erik from the game. Editing showed Natalie present a strong and articulate Jury speech that highlighted her strategy. Editing showed Natalie build strong relationships with the Galu women and Brett.

See her boot of Erik and see how the editing propped up during each recap that she was the one to maneuver that. See her confessionals before the FTC that showed she knew what Russel was doing and how she was just going to keep pimping up his ego -- did you notice the music while Russel talked about how easy it was going to be for him to win? Did you see Natalie playing Russel up, telling him how he's going to win for sure? The editing showed us plenty of what Natalie did, they just didn't highlight it and shove it down our throats like they did with Russel.

And since when does forming an early alliance, sticking to it, while forming other friendships along the way and treating people right, come off as doing nothing? Russell's overblown opinion of himself, combined with his utter contempt for others, especially those of the feminine persuasion, doesn't seem like a winning strategy to me! And as for Brian, he only won because the alternative was even more offensive in that jury's eyes than he was, which says a LOT.

Dalton Ross is definitely retarded, especially since he thinks the social aspect is bullshit. Uh, no, pal, that's the key component of the Survivor experience. Natalie took the time to cultivate the bench. Russell made them feel foolish and thought he was free as the breeze. Not bullshit at all. I know for a fact that if I had to choose between a Natalie and a Russell, particularly if I were affected by the exact same maneuver Kelly was, I'd be bringing a bouquet to her and a noose to him.

They could have fixed the editing to make her look like the strong 'dumb blond' that was rising against Russell. Instead they made it look like a total jerk earned the title and money and pissed off the jury so much that they were bitter and still bitter to this day and let the quiet cute poor girl win.

I totally see why Natalie won, and it's perfectly valid. I'd be more disappointed with a Russell win than what people are doing right now that he lost.

While I love my family to death, they completely fell into the trap of thinking Russell was the ONLY deserving winner, and this article perfectly explains everything I tried to explain to them. Gotta pass this article on!

The fact that Russell has badmouthed the jury and his alliance mates and continues to cry over the fact that he lost seems to indicate that he really does not understand why it is he lost. Instead of being introspective and asking himself, what could have I done different, he wants to take the approach that everybody else but him was wrong. If anything, I think the members of the jury are going to go to sleep at night thinking that they made the right decision.

I'm sad she didn't randomly bash Lynn & Alex :/ Otherwise, she is pretty OTM, which suggests she is only wrong about TAR.
