I am not seeing any deep strategy this season. Both original camps divided into the ins and the outs, then let the outs know it and vote them off one by one.
After the swap it remained the same, ins and outs, vote of the outs.
What did the outs do after the swap? Flipped to the other side and happy with three more days or “Vote them, not me.”
Nobody was sharp enough to target a crack in the larger alliance.
And Dan? Dan, Dan you are not the Teflon Man. You are kept around because you are a solid vote - and not a threat. You can be voted off any time they want to.
“I am not seeing any deep strategy this season.”
Here’s the way I see it. Everyone’s “strategy” is to get rid of the strongest players who aren’t part of “their” coalition. They are totally disregarding the beginning game (win tribal immunity with strong players) and going directly to the end game (bring the weakest loser with you to the final vote so you (the individual) can win. In short, almost all the players were playing the end game from day one.
It’s like they’ve all watched so much Survivor that they think they know how to win but have forgotten there is more than one stage of the game.
