Who played the best strategic game? I say Colby with Tom in a close second.

Boston Rob was by far the best, in my opinion. He made the right alliance on day one with one person he could trust, got Tom later, manipulated Rob Cestrinino's elimination by making him think Alicia was going home, and when Rupert and Jenna came over to their tribe, he aligned with them. Then he saved Amber from elimination when he was on a completely different tribe, made an alliance with Alicia for insurance, and in the merge, picked off the members of the other tibe while going back on his deals with them and Alicia, and turned Tom against Rupert and Jenna when it was in all three of their best interests to vote out Amber. Then, he turned Jenna against the one person who was with her the whole time. He would've won if the jury wasn't so bitter.

I'd say Tom easy. I mean, he got his biggest threat to throw away his game without even being voted out.

After Rob, I'd say Ozzy. He controlled his original Aitu tribe, and played a great social game. It's a distant second, though.

His whole rationale to get rid of Billy was that Billy was weak and would cost them challenges. If that was the case, it was idiotic to throw a challenge to
get rid of Billy. If he was so weak, why didn't they just wait for Billy to cost them a challenge and then boot
him? Billy was basically a free boot. Had they kept the four tribes for another round, and Aitu lost legitimately this time, then they would have been
without their free boot and Cristina, a strong member, would have gone home.

Adam said he would've voted for Ozzy if Yul didn't get rid of Jonathan before Parvati and Adam, so Ozzy's social game made it close enough that that one decision made the difference. |

I'd say Colby. Ozzy played a horrible strategic game.

Sure he got Billy out, but that move was completely retarded and pointless.

We all know the answer to this question is Tom Westman.

Yeah, all Jenny and Rebecca had to go on was that Ozzy won every Immunity. They never even lived with him. Granted, Parvati, Nate, and Adam probably talked
about how much they liked Ozzy in Ponderosa, which could influence their decision, but still... Yul won fair and square. He played a more openly strategic
game that got the respect of Brad, Jonathan, Candice, and Sundra and he essentially played Adam's moral side by getting him to promise his vote, which he
did. As dull as he was to watch, Yul > Ozzy.

Someone called Ozzy a good strategist in Cook Islands? A man with one of the worst social games ever has a great one?

I just think Ozzy's strategic game is underrated, as well as Becky's, Adam's, Parvati's, Jenny's, and anybody whose names aren't Yul or Jonathan. I still don't think Ozzy's game comes anywhere close to the same league as Boston Rob's. I think he played one of the top three best strategic games ever. |
