I'm glad that finally a jury decided that 'playing the game' does not equal the player who evidences the most odious behavior; behavior that is somehow excused because they are "just playing the game." You shouldn't get rewarded for being a jerk and frankly the world already has too many jerks who get ahead because of their lack of regard for anyone but themselves.

I am glad for Natalie, that the nice guy wins. Eric hit the nail on the head in saying that she deserved to be there as much as any of the other players, by virtue of the fact that she was there. She absolutely earned it and should be rewarded for playing a game with integrity and consideration for others while still being able to advance herself.

Where is the strategy in buring peoples' socks? What's strategic in having 3 Immunity Idols to play? Sure Russell found them, but he got to the end more because of Galu's ineptness than his own genius. In the end, I was glad to see that - at least once in a while - arrogant jerks aren't rewarded for their character flaw.
