Lol, you try to discredit the "Fan Favorite" award because it's simply "how much the audience likes you," when the jury vote is basically the EXACT same thing - it's how much the jury likes you. And again, both votes are technically supposed to be made based on who played the best game, but come on - which of the two groups is more likely to see all possible sides of the season, and thus, how EVERYONE played the game? The audience. Which group is more likely to be biased due to their eliminations, and thus more bitter, as well as "in the dark" about certain aspects? The jury.

And you keep saying Russell is just SUCH a terrible player - then how did he make it to the final tribal council twice? In a row? And don't say it's "because he was a goat." Just because you lost doesn't mean you're a goat. That's like saying Colby is a goat because he lost in Australia, or Lisa and Michael lost in Philippines. Sure, there are PLENTY of goats that get dragged to the end, like in One World or Caramoan. But failure to win =/= being a goat. Russell formed alliances, found idols, won challenges, made plans, and orchestrated eliminations. He certainly did far more than Natalir W. ever did, she just turned out to be more likable because she's a hot blonde girl - and yes, I admit that Russell's probably not nearly as likable to a jury as he is to the viewers. But to say that Natalie was better than him just because of supposedly being behind the Erik blindside (which, again, she wasn't) is idiotic. And again, this isn't just your typical Russell fanboy here - I've made similar arguments for Parvati being robbed in HvV and Coach being robbed in South Pacific, but it seems to me that you all agree with those, since you keep instead flying back to bashing on Russell and Russell alone. By your logic, both Coach and Parvati must suck as players.

And Steelwolf: Missy and Baylor were loyal to Natalie the whole way, as evident by the fact that they DID vote for Jaclyn at F5. And as if Reed didn't make it obvious enough, it doesn't matter how good their "story" was - people still did NOT like them. Missy was seen as obnoxious and over-protective, and Baylor as bratty. They'd both be seen as definitive goats, and Natalie possibly could've won a UNANIMOUSLY jury vote if she stuck with them. But again, yes, it all ultimately worked out...because the stars were aligned at that moment. Dumb blind luck.
