Getting those Samoa flashbacks now. God forbid we get another Samoa. are you referencing the horrific edit we got with russell hantz unrightfully dominating screentime? or natalie white rightfully winning over him with her amazing gameplay?

Foa Foa was down in numbers at the merge against Galu in a 8-4 vote. I don't remember how they survived the first vote, but Russel Hantz managed to make the Foa Foa alliance strong and managed to take his tribe up to the final five where the last Galu member won immunity I'll take the words from Shambo and said that the only gameplay that Natalie White did was ride the coattails of people who actually played the game. lol you literally do not understand this game at all.

first of all, natalie white is the one who constructed social bonds and secured trust within the two tribes and manages (and succeeded..) in defeating erik who was rubbing some of galu the wrong way. afterwards, russell continuously used his awful horrific social game play to bully almost everyone in the game, what was natalie doing? she was behind the scenes interacting with them, creating close bonds, and praying with galu. her strategy was the most effective and brilliant, let russell do the dirty work while demeaning everyone to the point of no remorse.

the toxic perspective that some survivor fans share that you have to "play the game" is so misinformed and wrong. at the end of the day, you're playing for a jury. that jury decides your fate. if you're gonna be super strategic and break those bonds without a care, don't expect to get any votes. it's just like aubry, she was so poor with her social bonds and was way too focused on the strategic aspect. would you vote for someone you barely know on a personal level if they played "the best game"?

natalie white absolutely 100% deserved to win samoa, and she beats anyone from foa foa and even shambo and john fincher.
