User blog comment:VeryUnknownFan/The Best Social, Strategic, and Competitive Players in Total Drama/@comment-26899760-20170523192712/@comment-22535514-20170523195501

Lindsay was kind of stuck on Heather and Beth for the entire season, and while she had her nice moments, she isolated herself with Heather a lot. People didn't really care for her much until she was eliminated, but she was close.

Heather wasn't in the Top 5 overall because her competitive and strategic benefits often relied on a lot of luck. She was only on the strategic and competitive lists because no one else stood out otherwise, and if you're good socially, you don't really need the other two.
