116. "Playing on a different level"
I've only watched BB last season and there wasn't much strategy involved really since players were practically wearing colored jerseys to differentiate the alliances and Howie showed he was color blind!
In Survivor, we have seen players doing well in tricking others: Hatch, Tina and Brian for sure. Chris in Vanuatu back-stabbed Julie and Eliza and still got their votes. Rob C. booted Roger, Deena, Alex and Christy in succession. Danni messed with Rafe's mind. Cirie arranged complicated booting schemes to get rid of Courtney and Shane.
None of those compare to Will's gameplay.
Will not only manipulates women, he's done it to the men also. He's a chess player who went first after another chess player, Kayser, and told him to put him up. It was the equivalent of sacrificing his Queen. Kaysar knew about gambits and he refused it even if he should've taken it. All his other offers to be put up were other Queen sacrifices except, by that time, he had set up his own game so that accepting the sacrifice was going to cost the other player the game.
He didn't know what to make of Howie so here he only sacrificed a pawn: An offer to watch out for each other in the food comp. Howie quickly went against Will, earning himself an expiration date.
Will wasn't sure what to make of James so that led to the LOD. James walked right into the trap.
His game has changed now that the end is close. He isn't proposing to be put up anymore except when CG was HOH. We all saw what that did to the chicken man! Will doesn't ask to be saved by the HOH, and that is the key I think. He offers the other players means and opportunities to help their games, obscuring the fact it helps his more. They aren't prepared for his convoluted ideas so they figure they are better than the ones they had and they follow them.
The way he convinced Erika to put up Danielle is incredible. As soon as he saw Erika wasn't buying that Danielle was planning to put her up, he changed approach and made her realize Danielle was unbeatable in front of the jury. Checkmate!
