I like the fact that you agree with me that there is no such thing as a perfect game. That's my point!!

Chris certainly didn't play a perfect game but I would still rate his game higher than Denise's. Why? Because he made the deals that helped him find those cracks.

Remember the F8 IC? Twila stood on the pole as long as she did because she knew Chris would be voted out if Chad won immunity. She trusted Chris because he had made a F2 deal with her. She fought for Chris, making sure Chad would go. Chris also had a F2 deal with Julie so that's why she backed the idea of keeping him over Eliza and why she told him that Eliza was going. It was her way of apologizing for reneging on their deal!

Denise didn't make any of those deals. Kent brought her in to the men's alliance because the other women were pathetic. Malcolm made the F6 and F4 deals for her. That was damn lucky. Then, on top of that, we had Skupin and Lisa's fatal miscalculation.

In addition, look at how the cracks presented themselves: In the Philippines, everyone knew that Abi and Mike weren't friends. Nothing to do but let him vote against her. In Vanuatu, the split was between Eliza on one side, Scout and Twila on the other. To win, Chris had to get those three to work together. Much harder, much funnier, much more memorable. Leann's elimination was the perfect blindside. Abi's? Absolutely nothing special. Just like Denise's game post-merge.

PS. I resent the fact that my opinion has been called meaningless by both you and Dabo. I haven't attacked either of you personally so I'd like to keep it a debate of ideas instead of an argumentum ad hominem.
