No. (And just in case you arent being sarcastic..Ill explain again.)
You dont consider Terry an underdog, whereas I do.
You thought Cerie and Aras did what was necessary to further themselves, I considered it flying under the radar and dumb luck on their part.
You think Terry is unworthy because he is more financially sound, whereas I dont see how that plays in this game being that he is 20 years + older than Aras and Danielle and he has worked his entire life to get to where he is....and who is to say that he needs it any less than anyone else. Everyone, for the most part, lives above their means....I dont see why Terry is considered any different.
On overall endurance and smarts and numerous other factors, Terry deserves it the most.
I wasn't being sarcastic for the record.
I was trying to make the point that Terry played the game like Cirie, Aras and Danielle. Like everyone else did and would have if they were in the shoes of the final four.
Someone has to be voted out whether they have alliances are not. In the game of Survivor alliances always have to be broken in order to advance.
I didn't mean to say Terry was unworthy, just less deserving if I had to chose between him and Aras. He is less deserving because I still feel he played a good physical game but less social game. That's my opinion based on observation. I didn't consider him an underdog with his physical ability, intellect and endurance. He played well indeed. He had the idol and he could have used it to strenghen his social standing.
Terry could have given the idol to save one person on his tribe because he had immunity from the challenges. He chose not to because I believe he didn't trust anyone. He also didn't give up the idol because he wanted the security in case he didn't win individual immunity. Nothing wrong with that move, that was his strategy. Doing that alienated him from his tribe and the opposing tribe and he didn't win over anyone with it.
Aras and Cirie didn't fly under the radar as much as Danielle may have. A & C were both well aware of the threat of the vote against them. The both hustled and used their smarts to stay in the game which is what you have to do when you don't win challenges for immunity or rewards that could further your social standings.
It's a game to outplay (which Terry did), and outwit (Cirie) and outlast (Danielle and Aras) others.
I don't know if Terry needed the money or if it was an "adventure" but my opinion was that Cirie, Aras and maybe Danielle could use the money more. It would be a big difference in their lives...not too sure about the impact on Terry but let's say he isn't suffering to the same degree.
Based on that, I believe Aras or Cirie deserved it more. Danielle possibly too but she wasn't as socially acceptable.
I respect everyone's opinion on this and I hope you respect mine in return.
Just wanted to clarify the rationale behind my post if it wasn't clear to anyone reading.
