1. Alliances aren't as important as they used to be. Rich used the evil Tagi alliance as well as his sub alliance w/Rudy to get his million. Neither Vee nor Kathy had a strong alliance through the course of the game. Vee had a "relationship" or a "bond" w/Sean, but in an of itself she flip flopped more than Mary Lou Retton. Kathy was always on the outside looking in, and she still got to F3.2. Drink water. (Didn't we learn that from Diane and Jessie?)
3. No one person controls the destiny of who gets to F2.
4. The person who wins F3 immunity decides who gets $1 million.
