So Savannah was declared winner. Couldn’t be happier! I would’ve been very pleased with Jake, if he’d been able to stay in the game, or Steven (with no apologies whatsoever to Rizo, if there was indeed a legend playing this season it was Steven), but Savannah was the one who embodied the classic Outwit Outplay Outlast trifecta, and I was rooting for her all season. Alex, more than Sophi. Risked more, played more. MC, if she knew had to strategize. Sophie, if she knew how to strategize. But a lot of the season was playing with bad options no matter how often the tribes were shuffled. And Savannah navigated it brilliantly. The edit made it look like she was basically completely isolated all season, and in some ways she was, but she also had allies, she worked to keep herself in the game. There were a lot of foolish players this season, and they sometimes worked in perfect tandem, and one of them made it to the finals, and got her one vote from another…Listen, you can certainly implode alliances for no other reason than your gameplay really is that strong (Kim in One World being the prime example), but…if it isn’t, you shouldn’t and hopefully can’t win.
So congratulations, Savannah!
