you know thinking back on this game and randy and corrine thought they were genisues and whatever well if they were? Why didn't they take out sugar at any
point in the game i mean i dont think they ever had the majority but if sugar really was as bad as some of the jurors said would anyone object to a sugar
blindside. They knew she wouldnt play the idol so why didnt they flush it out i mean i think everyone had an idea from what the tv edit showed

Look at it this way had Sugar not gone with Kenny and Crystal over Ace. The so-called master strategist Kenny would have been long gone. He TOO was the
benefiary of Sugar's emotional game-play, as was Matty later on ...If Marcus and the Onions hadn't been so arrogant they may not have foolishly tossed
the game (Feast Idol) away. They would still have been in the drivers seat. Bob was the beneficiary of probably the worst stragetigic game thus far...by
simply being himself...which was good enough to save his neck several times in ICs, keep himself aligned with enough people and finially garner support from
the one person who could save him. I don't see where he's worse than several other beneficial winners.

Congratulations to the guy on his win, but of the 5, he was the second least deserving. The guy only made 2 moves near the end to save himself and won a couple challenges. For the majority of the season, he just sat on his ass and did nothing. The only reason he got a seat in the F3 is because Sugar was an emotional wreck.Not only is he one of the worst winners, he is one of the most boring winners. And thats saying something! |

North09 I could not agree with you more!
Yay to Bob for Winning a season against a bunch of dumbasses. Put him in the Micronesia cast and see how long he lasts, hell even in the Fiji or China cast he'd be eaten alive |

Congrats to Bob! As to all the speculations and theories...as crocophile wrote:

I don't see where he's worse than several other beneficial winners. Bob said it himself. He didn't outplay anyone and he didn't outwit anyone. He outlasted most of them, and you know what? Sometimes that's good enough. Survivor is above all a social game, not a strategic game. There's a big difference. Jeff said it a long time ago. Read John Nash and game theory. It's all economics and math. Bob's "strategy" if you want to call it that, was to make himself necessary. Luck always plays into each season and he had that too. Put that with his ability to hold his own at his age in the physical aspect....not that shabby. Not the best winner and not the worst winner. Just different. |

What a great show it was, including a completely satisfying ending!
Bob Crowley, the physics High School teacher won it, a family man, a hard worker, a food provider, a strategist, a great contestant in challenges, and a genuinely nice person. No one more deserving! If you're reading this, Robert Crowley ~ 
Here is the last MESS GUT before the show aired, where we'll find the results of our votes, and a youtube tribute to Bob, which our MESS HALL poster Sam Buru composed for him. http://survivorsucks.com/topic/43133?page=1 It's a beautiful video, with scenery and wildlife from Gabon, and Andrea Bocelli singing from Toscana. Here's the direct link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgIAb-a5EvQ Thanks, Sam Buru, for a great and beautifully edited video. And congratulations again, Bob Crowley! May you build another green cabin, and climb many more hills. |

Mr. Crowley isn't Parvati or Yul, but he's by far the best of that F6.
One of the Onions who dominated with 6/7 ICs. Very useful around camp. A decent social player. Then he topped it off by winning his way through the last 3 round swith 3 ICs and a tiebreaker win. Fangs such as Crystal, Kenny, and Matty lived by Sugar's irrational gameplay and then died by it. Besides, Bob's idol plot set Kenny on the path to self-desruction.

I congratulate him on his win and I do not hate him. But when a winner said it himself that he didn't do shit to win strategically, I can't be happy
with him as a survivor winner.

Strategy? Does anyone here know the best "strategic" move that guarantees you will go one step further in the game?
Evidently Bob did. |
