I started watching this season, only remembering Steph and Gary, who I for some reason had thought ended up in fourth, with Rafe, Steph and Danni beating him. Why, I do not know :p This season was very unpredictable, and no one wouldn've predicted Danni to win at the time of the merge. It was basically anyones game, of the power six alliance, but turns out, they turned on each other way too early.
Gary: I totally get him for putting on an alias, smart move, cause if I was on the show, and found out someone was rice (which is probably the case when you've played in the NFL), I would've voted you off straight away. He kept to his white lie, even when Danni called him out, way to go. He was a good player, and fought till the end.
Judd: Ugh, what a moron. I didn't think it was seriously possible to incorporate the word "man" between every single word you utter. But he made it possible. I wanted to rip my ears off from listening to him, and I wish he'd be gone sooner so I wouldn't have had to listen to his poor language skills for so long.
Cindy: That was a tough one, with the car reward. I honestly don't know what I would've done, but I do believe if she had given them away, she definitely would've made it to the final three, I certainly wouldn't vote someone out who just made it possible for me to recieve a car. She very well could've won the whole game had she made it to the final tribal.
Lydia: What was she doing there, really? Why the hell did she get this far, I would've guessed she would have been one of the first people voted off. She really didn't do much, but still, she hung in there, somehow.
Rafe: Aww, I absolutely adored him. Didn't seem like he had an ounce of badness in him, and was just a downright decent guy. And who would've thought the little gay, mormon guy would win four individual immunities?! I believe he would've won had he gone up against either Steph or Danni, so kudos to him :)
Stephenie: She's not my favorite player ever, but then again I have never seen Palau (but it's the next season I'm watching, can't wait to see a season I've never seen before!) But knowing she once outlasted her whole tribe, being absorbed by another, and then go on and make it to the final two in the next season she's in, automatically makes her one of the greatest players ever, physically and mentally. But, her strategic game was not the best, which is why Danni managed to sneak her way into the final two, and beat her.
Danni: Sure, she definitely outlasted everyone, if anyone were to guess, she'd probably be one of the first people on the jury, but she managed to see some cracks in the power-alliance, and make her way through. She was strong, and put her game face one when it was at most necessarily for her to. She was very likable throughout the whole show, but I don't know if I think she's the most deserving. Honestly, I liked the final three, and feel all three of them deserved to win. But if I were to vote between Steph and Danni for Sole Survivor, I probably would've voted for Steph, no matter if she'd blindsided me or not, people need to get over it, seriously!
^^ Rafe his probably high up on who's one most individual immunities on a single season!
