Lets talk about Aubry for a sec. I've been floating around reddit and I came across a comment or a post (can't remember which) on why Aubry lost. Maybe it was on Twitter. Either way, they claimed that Aubry's allies didn't help her in any way because to them, once they got out of the game, game talk stops.

To quote from the Surivor Wiki about the Samoa FTC (On Natalie's profile in case anybody is wondering):

"At the Final Tribal Council most of the jury berated Russell for his overly aggressive and deceitful game play and poor social performance, alternatively ignored or dismissed Mick for his poor leadership, 'feckless' game play, and for barely interacting outside the Foa Foa Foursome, and called Natalie a coattail-rider (with the exception of Erik, who said that Natalie was just as deserving and dangerous as the other finalists due to her strategy and even said he was voting for her). Ultimately, it came down to Natalie's social interaction with the other contestants that allowed her to receive seven out of the nine jury votes. Thus, Natalie was able to prove Russell's judgement wrong and she was crowned the 19th Sole Survivor in a 7-2-0 vote."

Yes, social interactions are important, Pierzina. But if it wasn't for Russel, I would have forgotten all about Natalie White. Heck, it is still because of Russel that I remember her name! I still view Natalie as a coattail rider. My opinion can change on it (been a while since I saw Samoa) but until that happens, I stand by my word.
