Yeah, that does tie back to another main problem concerning the status of "main villains" in the post-HvV era of Survivor. Far too often, we're seeing the line become oh-so blurry between a straight-up "villain" and an "anti-hero," namely those who do resort to villainous tactics and may be somewhat smug, or even have been considered villains in the past, but go on to win and thus may not be seen as "villains." Examples include Boston Rob (blech), Sophie Clarke, Kim Spradlin, Cochran, Tyson, Tony, and Natalie Anderson. And that's in addition to "partial villains," who either left early and COULD have been villains had they lasted longer - Colton, Phillip in Caramoan, Brad Culpepper, Brice in Cagayan, Varner in this season, etc. - or those who are simply easy to hate due to being drama-causers, but not necessarily scheming villains - again Colton, Dawn, Abi, Baylor and Missy, etc.

In this season, we've seen good examples of each: Gone too early (Varner), drama-causers (Abi), and those who blur the line between villain and anti-hero (Kelley...maybe Tasha?).
