If people paid attention to everything and not flashy gameplay then it's honestly not shocking Michele won. I understand that the general public is like wtf but people who follow the show closely at least saw Michele's win as a good possibility.
Ofc Natalie got overshadowed by the "biggest villain of all time" who had already come back for HvV by the time Samoa aired and Samoa was more of a "why Russell lost" opposed to why she won
I still don't understand how Natalie wasn't a predictable winner for everyone? The only other potential winners were Jeremy (left really early) and Jon (who was clearly being built up for a blindside).
lionsden121 people literally bashed Coach especially during FTC Sophie is not a surprise winner
Denise kinda is because he Skupin/Lisa bashing was pretty much all FTC but Denise got some heat as well
