Another great season with a strong trio of 3 who were working together from day one. Tommy seemed to be easily manipulated in the first tribal council in the fact that he ended up switching his vote; the Qian Tribe were stuffed from the minute they lost the first challenges. Although Tommy and Maturo got pretty far, they were never going to get to the final 3 with the alliance between falcon, lionsden and connor dictating what happened when. I think Tommy tried to mustle in with them but failed.
Falcon was definitely in it for himself through out the game; trying to get rid of the pack leader, connor, at the final hurdles (eventually succeeding). The alliance disposed of anyone who working with them when they were no longer needed - poor GApeach learned this the hard way.
Connor crushed anyone who got in his way; hence why the leader of the Dao-Qian alliance, hellocat, was eliminated as soon as there was the chance to get rid of her. Slowly the trio picked off the other contestants, which may be why they got so far. Great season and a sneaky winner! Falcon thought he could get away with it ;)
I've got to say, this season was lead by max and nmh on the surface (there was definitely some sour grapes in the jury), but pizza and cookie quickly turned on them when it came down to it. They were smart to get rid of shabooty early on in order to eliminate the threat in the later game. I felt sorry for poor mrbird, who was disposed of pretty early in the game! Matedog bucked up her ideas when her original alliance with Micky and dolphinz crumbled, which ultimately let her stay for most of the season.
