Long story short, Marcus fucked up. All he had to do was secure Susie, not secure Kenny/Crystal. His move with Crystal sent her to Susie to flip the vote. And if they merged that episode, Marcus likely pulls the same shit, and Crystal flips Susie with the help of the idol and game goes the same way again probably.

And comparing TAR7 finale to the ENTIRE Gabon season is stupid craig. Romber, like Marcus, fell face first into luck and squandered it. They underestimated Uchenna/Joyce and when they caught that last flight, sent Romber scrambling and they could never recover. Rob's amazing Spanish skills didn't come in handy in the final leg and they lost. Taxi drivers played a role but Romber continuously underestimated teams and saw themselves above everyone else, leading them to failure. Just like the Onions did in both swaps. Instead of securing Susie, bottom of the totem pole, they went for Randy. Had they gotten Susie, Randy would have stuck by them by default because he hated Fang. Kenny made his only smart move getting Kelly on his side, but stupidly squandered it like the Onions did with Susie. Luckily he voted off Kelly instead of keeping her and trying to split votes against her.
