The face she put on for the finale was of an objective, rational player. Keesha had her catty moments, but many of those faded as the game went along.

I LOVED that Brian brought up the fact that Dan and Memphis never made personal attacks on anyone and that they were just playing the game. Michelle, Ollie, and April are going to cringe when they see how ignorant they looked.
I think it's like a more low-key version of what happened with public perception of the Friendship and the Sovs. Libra is now remembered as being part of the "good" alliance in the house, even if she was only part of it for a week before she was voted out. Keesha is also remembered for her central role in that alliance. That means their comments, along with comments that Renny or Dan or Memphis may have made that upset some people, are less likely to be scrutinized than the comments from the "bad" alliance in the house, MOJA, who often tended to be out and out bitter, humorless, delusional.
The real moral to this story is don't align with anyone named April if you don't want America to hate you.
