Did Cochran change the game? Did Denise change the game? Did Tony change the game? Did Natalie A. change the game? Did Bob change the game? Did Fabio change the game? Did other winner that weren't Tina or Richard change the game?

Natalie built social connections which are part of the Outwit aspect and actually helped her to pull out a blindside that otherwise Russell couldn't have done by himself, her "empty win" proves that Survivor ain't just game and that still is a social experiment because Russell once again I said it OUTPLAYED ALL THE SAMOAN CAST but he used scare tactis and intimidation that does not create a good image of yourself for the jury, a jury that then will vote for you based in the three mains aspects of Survivor which are the essence that the show has and was the main focus until now: Outwit your oponents, Outplay your oponents and more importantly Outlast your oponents to become the Sole Survivor.

Are you going to tell me that the show would've received such an amazing prowess had this been a just: THE ONE WHO PLAYS THE BEST BUT MISTREATS EVERYONE WINS? No, Survivor is a SOCIAL experiment like Big Brother is, you have to win but you have to also do it in a social way, if I were to compare Russell to a Big Brother player he would be Danielle Reyes (who I love and did not mistreat) but she lost because of one single aspect: The social aspect, the jury got the oportunity to see her confessionals and she s**t-talked them all, which obviously angered them and costed her the win.

Is there such thing as a empty win? No, every win has no emptyness, every win has its deep and its things. Remember one thing, what we see on TV is just ONE hour of 39 days of living with strangers on a beach which is basically 936 hours that we only got to see 14 hours or 16 hours.
