So I avoided this thread all season because I was always behind in episodes. Just so I know going forward - anything that is not a part of the normal shows are spoilered, right? So if the Sunday show ends with the HOH in progress, I can come here on Monday and not be spoiled as to who won the comp?
Can't believe Paul took Nicole to the final two. I still thought he would win (and obviously so did he), but that was a fatal error. I'm a bit surprised at how much everyone hated his personality - I thought he was obnoxious, but I didn't find him intolerable. I think that was the death blow in some of the Jury votes, which is a shame because he was clearly the better player of the actual game itself.
At first I was disappointed with Nicole's win, but looking back I think I would play the game the same way. Don't make waves early on and find yourself a close ally or two. Then when the numbers start to dwindle you get more aggressive and start winning more comps. Her and Cory were ruthless there at the end, which I didn't like at first, but probably won her the game. I agree she was a "floater" early, but that was her strategy and she definitely had gameplay when it mattered.
Sidebar: Michelle is probably one of the worst humans I've ever seen on the show. I cannot imagine being around her in real life.
