Tony was the mastermind of many blindsides this season. Moreover, he was an idol-buster who found three hidden immunity idols. One of which is an idol with a special power. It’s also worthy to note that he found that special idol without a clue and just by digging in the landmarks around the camp. Though he could no longer use that special idol, he used it to cover up a great lie that he was allowed to use it until the final four; hence sending Spencer who could potentially win the game because of the bitter jury.
With all these strategies well-planned and well-executed, Tony is undoubtedly the castaway who played the best game and made the standards and how the future castaways should play the game.
