I know I'm in the minority here but I find Sandra an incredibly smart player and deserved winner. She knows that the aggressive person is not usually the most liked and she knows how to play the game of Survivor. Boston Rob had it right, Russell knew how to play the game to get to the end, but didn't know how to play the game to win it. Sandra knew how to play the game to win it. It's hard to disagree when you're 2 for 2. What I find amazing is that she seemed to play the exact same way she did in Pearl Islands and not get voted out. How do some of the best Survivor's in history not pick up on that? Her strategy of "as long as it's not me" has worked for her and won her the game twice. Is she great TV? Not really, but she knows how to play the game that is presented to her.
On a side note: her streak of not winning any challenges and making it to the end reminded me of Dr. Will from Big Brother 2 and Big Brother 7. He never won and individual challenge and still won/made final 4. It seems to be a pattern forming among these reality shows.
