I personally think Tom should be much higher, and at least above someone like Candice.

The way he played (and won) was unique from almost any other player in that his style was to be dominant. He said not to hold him at fault for showing his physical abilities early on and I think the only way to follow up that gameplay is to continue a strong-showing post-merge. Other winners like Tina or Yul had their 'cult-leading' abilities where they had the rest of the tribe following their moral code and voting accordingly, and in Tom's case, he really did convince everyone else that he deserved it, without coming across in an entitled way.

I don't think you should ever hold winning challenges against someone since it's a part of the game. Their ultimate effect in the game balances out.. if there were no immunity challenges in the game, then there would be no need to vote someone out for being a physical threat, etc.. What would you say in the cases for players who played brilliantly, but were one or two challenges away from winning the game? Yea, they didn't rely on challenges, but had they won the game, they would've needed to. One example I'm thinking of is Cirie in FvF... had she won the final immunity challenge, and brought Parvati and won Survivor, would you hold it against her for needing to win that one challenge? =O
