Vee deserved to win and I don't like that she and Neleh were made fun of for their Christian beliefs. However, I do think that you are wrong about the game being so cut-throat. There have been moments, yes, but nothing like Season 1. The thing I miss from that season is the ruthlessness that Rich showed. I hated him the entire time, but he played that game from Day 1 and frankly, he made it interesting. I hate it that Neleh got to the Final 2. She rode coattails all the way. Vee was at least playing whether you could tell she was or not. She had a strategy going in and used it. I agree that the world can use many more people like Neleh and Vee, but I just wish they'd stay away from Survivor PS:My best to all Vee, Leander, Stephanie and all the other members of their wonderful family!!! Congratulations and thanks for a beautiful season!!! I think it was excellent that she got to know everyone out there and tried to bond with them. That certainly helped her win the fallen commrades challenge. In that way she played a lot like Ethan, as he did the same thing. I also think her group prayers were helpful to her and the tribe to help keep their spirits up. Even though I don't agree with he agressiveness of giving God the glory for everthing, the fact that she recognized God, was good. She was also well prepared for the Q&A of the jury, again that was from her military training. So she did do alot correctly and did play an overall good game, but I still can't separate faith from the game, because the game is part of life.
