Talk:This Could Be the Heist of the Millennium!/@comment-27391152-20180317003601

Tozza, before this season: "I really want to see a SUPER villainous winner emerge in one of Tangle's series"

Oh, how I wish I could take back those words!

Look, I know I've shit on Will a lot, but to be perfectly honest, he easily played the best strategically out of that Final 3, and considering how many of the jurors didn't seem like they would vote emotionally, I think he played the best overall game to appeal to that specific jury. Honestly, I feel like this Final 3 just proves that Russell Hantz can most definitely win this game! He just needs to be up against Kass McQuillen and, well, someone like Veronica. Will had the social class of a donkey yet because of how terrible his opponents were he won, and I suppose you have to give the guy credit for getting himself into that position. In saying that, the amount of times he actively tried to ruin his own game (voting out Celia over Maria (he was lucky Maria ended up wanting to work with him), voting out Misty, almost letting the Gombey 4 make the FINAL SEVEN if not for a couple of idols spoiling his own plan, trying to take Phyllis out at the Final 7, etc.). For that reason, I think he's probably your second worst winner yet; with only Nathaniel behind him xD.

Overall, this season was an absolute rollercoaster! I love, love, LOVED the pre-merge so much; probably one of my favourites of all time other than maybe Arabia. Love her or hate her, Isla brought so much entertainment to the season, and I do feel I kinda lost some of my passion for reading after she left. I adored the Adrian & Jacob storyline as well as the pure unpredictability of every single Tribal Council, but sometimes I felt the strategy was really overcomplicated and I struggled to understand people's logic half the time. I felt like a lot of people's reasons behind voting people off were based on countless hypotheticals rather than what was actually going on at that point in time. That's why I love votes like the merge boot so much because all of it made sense despite how chaotic it was!

I loved a lot of the cast (Adrian, Jacob, Luca, Isla, Celia(when she's not stupid) <3 <3 <3) and I loved how you gave almost everyone a distinct personality. My only complaint is that sometimes you reduced people's personalities/character moments to their lives outside of the show, for instance, Misty and her parents, Phyllis and her husband, heck, even Adrian and his father (although he obviously had other traits that I enjoyed). Maybe it's just mean because I'm not really a sappy guy, but I honestly couldn't care less about what's happening back home, I much prefer seeing what people do IN the game. Other than that though, I loved this cast, and you did an especially great job at making the men likable because I don't think it's a secret that a lot of this community tends to root for the women (myself included).

In terms of where this season sits for me, it's close to Upolu, but I think I enjoyed Upolu more ever so slightly. So that would put it at #2! Can't wait for Grenada especially because of a certain someone on the cast. ;)

Btw, RIP @ my chances in the prediction game. If only Phyllis had've lost that fire-making challenge, I might've had a shot!
