" I will not analyze Justin, Jo or Lightning because they're not major villains in whichever season they're in... Also I didn't put any Pahkitew character here because some of them are antagonistic, but not outright villains, at least not to the point of planning ahead into the game."

Justin, Jo, Lightning, and/or Sugar aren't excatly the major villains, but they are antagonoists to the show with reasonable strategies going into the game. For Justin, it was gathering enough people to do his bidding, and all he had to do was take his shirt of. Jo recognized people who are threats to her and took the opportunity to take them out when the time is right. Lightning is more of a bully figure, but I would count that as a lesser villainy.

As far as the Pahkitew Cast goes, I would agree that Scarlett and Max did nothing game-wise, though Scarlett did try to get rid of Max on one occasion. But for Sugar, she was able to drive a wedge between Dave and Sky and got rid of Ella.

Now, onto the ones that you listed.

- Heather: I agree. However, there was also luck in her game. I mean, she could have won legit in Search and Do Not Destory, but the chances of her winning wasn't in her favor.

- Courtney: The Grips tried to vote her out as soon as she debut. Since then, she just had a vile taste in the other's mouths for her antics.

- Alejandro: I consider Alejandro's gameplay in WT to be the closest to flawless in the TD universe. He got rid of the people who saw through his game and made safe, yet big, moves. If there was any cons to Alejandro's game, it is that he didn't do enough damage control as they left. At the very least, damage control for Team Victory.

- Scott: I do agree that Scott's strategy was smart. Risky, but smart. However, Scott did realize that the merge is coming and started to switch his strategy by making some allies on the Maggots. I do not think that Scott kept Lightning around as a pawn. Lightning was just lucky Scott never pulled the trigger on him. I don't think the two had an official alliance between them.

- Mike/Mal: Mal is smart, and used his mischeivous antics to cause psychological paranoia within some of the castmates making them go from crazy to insane (ie, Sierra). If Mal let his cover be blown, he would've been toilet food, so it was smart for him to keep acting like he was Mike.

There are many ways to be a villain in TD. However, whether we get new or old players using the same old strategies or coming up with new, ingenious ways to be a villain won't hurt the entertainment value.
