Nice list Aruba. I just have to comment about "Playing in fear".Everybody plays Survivor with a fair amount of fear. They all fear being the first one voted out from the game and/or from their tribe.
(Even Tom said he was afraid that Jolanda would pick him because he knew he wouldn't be able to get along with her and it could get him booted.)
Take Christina for example: She came within seconds of winning that F4 IC. There is absolutely no move that she could have done that would have given her a similar opportunity.
And tell me what did Troyzan do that was different than anyone else BEFORE he realized that he was next on the block. Troyzan, just like Mike and Jay and Leif and Tarzan and Kat was coasting along, happy for the ride that was apparently taking him far. Then the scales came off his eyes and he started scrambling.
You blame Tarzan, Kat, Alicia and Cristina for not jumping aboard Troy's train but he wouldn't have jumped on it either if Alicia had been the one scrambling. We even have proof of that: Jonas said Troyzan ignored his pleas to get back together. Wouldn't you say...no scratch that: SHOULDN'T you say that Troyzan played in fear when he was nicely nestled in Kim's alliance?
