ALL of Victor's DR comments were filmed AFTER he had beaten Vanessa. That's why seeing with the belt spoiled the outcome. Before the challenge started, Victor didn't even know Vanessa ould be his challenger. He only learned that she was the 5th boot when she walked into the arena. They then had their challenge, Victor won and THEN production asked him to deliver his taped comments. To have the belt then meant he had won it a 3rd time.The 6th sense was only one of the multiple alliances that surfaced last season. The fact that Vanessa was able to use it AND destroy it showed that she was much more than lucky.
Yes, I'm projecting a bit in Michelle's case but there are indications she could turn out to be quite a player. The way she listens to people and her responses have been very good up to now.
Nataly is very immature but James did treat her poorly, ignoring her requests. He's the one that's in love with a girl that, mentally, is still a kid so he needs to learn how to handle her. It's not that I dislike him, it's just that you guys love him so much that I feel the need to balance things out. He lost for a reason.
I'd like to point out that it took Rachel a few rides on the choo-choo train before she got her prize. So, according to you, she never won a "real" season. I'd even agree with you here because production gave her that prize. (you must remember the joke that was the Pandora's box twist that assured her safety)
As for Jordan, she may have won but it certainly wasn't because she was a smart player. Sometimes these games crash and burn enabling a dumbass to get the winning lottery ticket.
In a F5 with 2 couples, I wouldn't need to win a comp to stay safe. I'd just have to wait to see which side wins HoH and then turn it against the other pair.
It's funny that you have to use Nicole's paranoia to try and salvage your point. Corey was the target of exactly ONE person and she didn't even have the right to vote. Da may have gotten zero votes but all 8 were thinking about voting against her. Corey was much more like Natalie: Completely safe even if he was momentarily on the block.
