I usually hate these types of arguments, but Survivor: Tocantins has not grabbed my attention yet. Let’s travel back in time to last season to Survivor: Gabon. I was not too pleased about Bob being the winner. I felt Susie deserved it a little more.
You see, Susie might not have been the most strategic player or the most dominant, but she has never been given the credit she deserves. She was invisible up until Episode 7. Then she flipped and joined forces with Crystal and Kenny and got rid Marcus. Marcus was one of those Survivors who seemed destined to make the final 3. On paper he was perfect: Harvard educated, athletic, and an alliance leader.
Marcus was the leader in his majority alliance. At Episode 7 everyone thought someone from the Kota tribe was going to win the million dollars. Then Susie was offered a better offer and took it. She was the swing vote to get rid of Marcus.
Susie won the first individual immunity challenge. She stuck to her alliance and voted with the majority. Susie then won the most crucial immunity challenge. If she didn’t win she would have been voted off. The win also gave Susie a free ticket to the final three and the chance to face the lovely jury
The other two finalists, Bob and Sugar, made terrible arguments on why they should win the million dollars. Susie’s argument was not much better, but at least she tried to answer some of the unanswerable questions the jury threw her way.
Oh, and there was no way Randy was the swing vote, but even if he was, he gave a pretty petty excuse not to vote for her. If I had a choice between someone who thought I was overdramatic or someone who humiliated me by making a fake idol and then tried to blame it all on the other person, I would choose the overdramatic person. Obviously Randy thinks a little differently.
Was Susie the best player on Survivor: Gabon? No, not at all. Was she the most dominant? Nope, but she has not gotten the credit she deserves.
