LAST EDITED ON 05-21-12 AT 06:29 PM (EST)I said no great moves were "needed."
Troy wanted Mike gone from Day 1, per both of them.
The women had a 6-5 advantage at that point AND Tarzan, Leif and Troy all wanted Mike gone. The "seed" she planted with Troy was completely unnecessary. It made for a good edit, but in actuality was meaningless.
Kim convincing Alicia to get rid of Tarzan was her best move. However, Kim won the ICs after that. SO, Kim still wins even if she never makes that move.
Kim told Chelsea to take her heart out of her decisions. She never told her to make no personal connections. That was Chelsea's miscalculation. She played for a bitter jury and hoped to stay out of the firing line. That was a mistake because of Kim's social game.
Kim booted Kat because Chelsea, Sabrina and Alicia forced her to. Alicia won the next IC. If they had booted Sabrina, as Kim wanted, Kim would have been vulnerable for the blindside.
Kim was in the majority on Day 1. She was in the majority after the tribal switch. She had two GREAT partners who stayed loyal even when faced with likely defeat. She played an all time great game. True, but she also got some big breaks that made it easier for her.
Kim has said herself, she "got lucky." Modesty, yes, but also true.
