Sarah has said in interviews that a lot of her gender bias talk was laying out the groundwork to get jury votes before final tribal council, and partially fueled by hearing from Natalie that Boston Rob was trashing her game hard on the edge after she got him out.
I don't think what she said was entirely true. Amount of male/female winners was evenly split in the first 25 seasons, only 3 in the last 15 but were there any instances of a strong female getting robbed? Maybe Chrissy should have won over Ben, but other than that it's just been coincidence that better male players were cast.
The best part of that was seeing Jeff be self-aware and acknowledge some of his bias and mancrushing in the past.
Michele is the only person in this cast who hasn't been voted out in her multiple seasons, she should be proud of her game - she's almost like a modern-day Sandra, but can win comps too.
