An average season, obviously better than 41, which was an epic disaster from start to finish.
Personally I was cheering Drea. She was a threat, a big one as she was (just like Mike) playing right from the time they hit the shore. My second choice was Lindsay or Mike. Mary Anne basically did nothing at all but somehow the jury was impressed with her.
Interestingly, what supposedly won the undecided jury over was her explaining her strategy. So here's the thing I could not figure out, she talked a million miles an hour, explained 3-4 scenarios to the jury who all went "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah". I was thinking, "whaaaaaaaaa?"
Now if that explanation went over my head, what about the early jury members who were sitting at Ponderosa like Roxroy, even lets say Omar or Tori? They have no idea what's been going on since they left other than maybe as new members came to Ponderosa they may have been told things.
To put into perspective, did Roxroy think after he was voted out "wow, Mary Anne is my favorite to win, I'm going to vote for her." Maybe, but likely not as there were Lindsay, Jonathan, Mike, Drea and Omar all playing an obvious stronger game.
Drea even saying at the final tribal to Mary Anne " we slept by the every night and you never spoke strategy at all".
Bottomline, Mary Anne won due to Romeo allowing her into the final three and she spoke better in the final three. Mike was horrible explaining himself and Romeo had no resume'.
To make the game better so for those who are voted on the jury earlier can still get a sense of what's going on, allow jury members to sit in to watch the Reward and Immunity competitions.
It may help at least to degree of what's going on.
