User blog comment:Truteal/An alt version of Pahkitew Island/@comment-24578176-20141012140044/@comment-24971793-20141012185948

Of course she deserved to be final 3, she was the most competitive player of the season and performed decent/good in most challenges. Besides every top 3-4 of every season has had a comic relief character in it (Owen, Owen again, Sierra, Lightning, Scott, Sugar). So it's not that strange that Sugar made it as far as she did, being both the main comic relief and the main antagonist at that point.

That's kind of the only problem I have with this alternative version, nobody in the top 9 makes a good comic relief character. So the writers would have had a hard time putting some fun in this version.
