The poor sweet me thing definitely helped her during the game because it kept people from seeing her as a threat and gave her a lot of room to manipulate others to get her way even when her way was any way the wind blows.

I don't know if it was the grieving or what that kept her from being able to turn around and really stand up for herself. I think she really just couldn't bring herself to see why she deserved to win. A few hell, yeah I used everything I have to put each and everyone of you on the jury so I would make it to the end answers I think would have gotten at least a couple of Susie votes switched over to her.

I dunno, maybe she just didn't see that there was anyway to sway the bitter clique and let that get in her way of owning her game. I also think the Matty vs Bob thing took some emotional wind out of her sails. I think she'd have done better if Susie had been voted out and she didn't have to make that sort of emotional choice. I also think saying to Matty, I couldn't chose between you so I gave both of you a fair shot at the end might have helped, but I think he was drinking the Sugar is Evil Punch over at the Ponderosa and I'm not sure she could have done much about that or not.
