I thought for sure that Ken deserved a few votes, say whatever you want but the whole season people are talking about how the game has evolved, it's about who can adapt and shift and screw alliances you have to be constantly moving from voting block to voting block. Well Ken did the complete opposite, he surrounded himself with a core alliance of people he trusted and that alliance took him all the way to the final 3. Call him a goat if you will, but in the edit it's clear he did what he wanted when he wanted even if it was a bone head move (like calling people out who were throwing his name around). I agree with KFF that he shouldn't have won but given the game he played he deserved at least some votes.
Chris or whatever that lawyers name is, his comment at the end really irked me, like how bitter can you look? And to not even hear Ken out before you sit down? Never seen a person in this game that thought they were so deadly but yet did so little. If you're such a better player than Ken, why aren't you sitting at the final 3? The best part is, he was wrong! Cocky lawyer thinks he can read the play but he read it wrong, it was Hannah that went to Ken to get him to flip not Adam.
Adam... Adam... as someone who has lost their Mom I can has feels for him, but it was painful listening to him tell that story on national TV. He could have just said "I got back in, she was on her death bed, I got to say Good Bye.." it was just so personal I felt bad for him. I thought for sure Jeff would jump in and save him but he just let it go on and on for TV ratings sake. As far as winning, well, I guess out of the 3 he deserved it.. but at the same time he didn't really. He often confused playing hard with playing bad. He was an open book to most people around him, especially Hannah and especially at the end. Hannah had the power at that last vote not Adam, and he was cocky enough to sit in the hammock like it was all wrapped up. He more often than not gave up way more information than he should have and mostly to the wrong people, like his 'big move' with Taylor on the beach. He read that COMPLETELY wrong.
I think he was still there so late in the game because he was by far the least threatening of a handful of people that were left, like David. So then he twisted that into his own game about keeping a shield in front of him AFTER JAY DESCRIBED THAT STRATEGY TO HIM! We never once heard him talk about that in confessionals. I dunno, it was an awesome season, one of the best I've seen. But I was a bit disappointed that a better player didn't win and that the jury went full sympathy vote.
