Survivor (Fall 2016)

I would have been fine with any of the three winning, though I thought Ken and Hannah deserved it a little more. I actually think Hannah was my top pick. I see her and Adam as playing similar games, but Hannah didn't make the same mistakes that Adam did. Adam made some really stupid moves and seemed like a messy player who just happened to hit the target a few times. It's true that he was on the "wrong side" of many votes. Hannah became someone who could adeptly play both sides, while having a hand in several ousters and not making any major blunders. Ken, I wanted him to win for purely personal reasons, he's such an interesting guy and the one I've been rooting for most of the season.

Hannah may very well have been the puppet master of her group (hard to tell from the edited footage), but she did a terrible job arguing her case on front of the jury. She even let Adam take credit for convincing Ken to get rid of David. It was painful to watch.

Ken, on the other hand, pretty much destroyed his only jury argument (playing with loyalty) when he got rid of David.

I'm not surprised Adam won as he had the best sob story. Add in the fact that Ken and Hannah presented themselves publicly as non-social game threats, and it's pretty much a slam dunk decision. Though, I am surprised Adam didn't find a way to bring up being a homeless shelter manager (unless it was mentioned and just got cut out of the footage for time).

I'm playing Fantasy Survivor against my parents. Made up some rules, we had a draft - should be fun. My team is Mari, Zeke, Will & Bret

It's too bad I only posted my team, because now I have no proof. But, my Mom's team was Figgy, Jessica, Chris and Jay while Dad's team was Hannah, David, Ken, and Adam. Needless to say, he won. What are the odds of picking the final four correctly?

There used to be a Fantasy Survivor on Yahoo, where every week you could wager 100 points, split any way you want among all the remaining cast for who gets eliminated.

I agree Hannah deserved more credit for her game. Female players have difficulty getting credit for strategic moves if there's also a male in the alliance. The only times I can recall a female player getting strategic credit when it's not an all-female final are Parvati, Denise, and when Sophie called Coach her 'Young girl'. But I don't think there's any move she can claim that Adam can't.

I don't think Ken deserved it at all, he basically got there by not being threatening.
