Yet, without all the twists that Burnett pulled out of his a$$, Yul never wins. Yul is an impressive man but he didn't play Survivor. About the mutiny, he was lucky that an offer was even made. Most posters back then agreed that a flip after the merge would have been devastating.
Yul never saw that Candace wasn't on board. Knowing the people around you is a pretty important skill, the reason I put Cirie as #1 strategist. Yul never even imagined someone could betray him. Remember when he openly counted his jury votes in front of Becky who did NOTHING about it, not even take his HII away. Luckily for Yul, Becky and Sundra weren't there to play the game and Burnett wasn't about to let a game happen anyway.
Did you know that Sundra was supposed to join Candace in their mutiny but simply froze? The plan was to have a Nate-Adam-Parvati-Candace-Sundra F5.
And, to clear it up, Jonathan flipped for 2 reasons: He considered Candace (!!) not Yul as his closest ally and he thought Adam had the HII.
