Twila had to spell it out for him that Eliza was the swing vote. Do I need to say more?

Chris played an amazing game. He managed to break up the girl alliance. He managed to survive AND take the money home. He was not my favorite character on the show, but he was probably the best player strategy wise.

He finally broke the curse, I'll give him props for that. But, he still wouldn't be my first choice.

I'd take everything that I said about Chris back. He played Twilla, Eliza and Scout very well and he turned out to be the best liar since Rob Cesterino from Survivor: Amazon.

Dude proved me wrong. He essentially pulled a Richard Hatch -- not getting voted out when the time was right, then winning all the immunity challenges. He was a genius for keeping Frau Twila in the mix, because everybody hated Twila. Kind of amazing that the final two were both highway workers. I always contend that dude should have been voted out after his Day 1 foibles on the balance beam, but Survivor has become more about the weak ganging up on the strong, rather than the best man (or woman) winning. Dude was not the most likeable character ever on the show, but dude pulled the Survivor-equivalent of what the Red Sox did this year. The ladies have no one to blame but themselves. Instead of voting dude out when they had the chance, the women got catty and preyed on their own. Backfired Big Time. Way to go, Dude.

I have to give him credit. He should have been done so many times. When the aliances fell the way they did, I figured he would be out. He made what I consider to be the biggest come back in the history of the series.
