I dunno. The character development was so limited for most of the finalists that I'm not sure we can draw any conclusions from this season. We put labels on Sophie, Albert, and Rick more based on the idea that we needed someone in each family role, than on what we learned about their actual relationships during the game.

Sophie's explanation on how she chose her alliance mates were interesting. This was at the beginning of the game, so based on non-stressed roles, but she identified Wade as the "young girl" who could go to the finals but not get votes, and Albert as a partner for talking strategy. She later downgraded Albert as she learned he wasn't very good at talking strategy. Also her dismayed comments about herself having the crying outburst at tribal council, and apparently even comments to other people at the reunion prior to broadcast, that she thought she had lost the game by showing emotion/weakness. So her mapping of roles started with herself as a genderless adult, Wade as a child, shifted to see Albert as a child as well, and finally stressed into a more typically female outbursts. Which possibly actually gained her votes as they removed jurors dissonance with her non-D demeanor?

Albert does seem to have seem the three of them as F/S/D, and just believed that the physically superior S would prevail. (He really was acting more D towards the end, at least as far as we saw.)



As far as the single parent seasons, yeah, if they're all Russhole and Dragonslayer, definitely we can't generalize from that. Aside from just counting the same person more than once, those two are not just failed Fs, but megalomaniacally failed Fs. Cirie, Earl, and Rob would be successful single parents, I think, so more even on winning and losing.
