That's what I'm talking about!

Darn! I was so close to converting you into seeing that RussHole was worse than Nay. If it is strategy that differentiates them, then I must say you are forgetting these confessionals by Nay:

- “In order to win this game, you must make power moves. You can make a move that can shift the game in a whole new direction. If you make a power move, that’s a move that can push you forward. If you keep on making power moves, everything is going to fall in line.”

“Brenda, she’s like my best friend out here but did I come all this way from South Central LA to come back home with nothing? This is a game and Brenda is a threat. So, right now that we have everybody against her, now is the time to get her out.”

These show that Nay wasn't playing to be a villain but playing to win, doing power moves just like RussHole. She just didn't repeat it 20millions times (I counted) like RussHole. And RussHole didn't wait for the F3 to think he had it made: Don't you remember one of his very first confessionals: "I'm here to show that winning this game is easy." From the start he believed he had it won. By F9 (ie after Laura's elimination) I'm sure he saw no one in his way.

As for Boston Rob, don't sell him short. He did have a good chance of winning, getting 3 votes out of 7. If only he hadn't made that useless promise to Alicia, who knows. Russell had 2 out of 9 the first time, 0 out of 9 the second!!!!

And Colonel, Stephenie knew she wasn't beating Danni. That's why she couldn't understand why Rafe wasn't voting her out at F4. Steph thought the only person she could beat was Rafe because, as she stupidly said: "We played the same game."

As for Matt, I think you are being unfair to the cweep. The guy had no idea how the game worked when he started. He learned on the go from Rob and he was thanking his lucky stars to be facing the brat. I'm sure he wasn't thinking he had played a great game and would beat anyone hands down.
