[Macie Lightfoot]

But if people are willing to let her be a passenger and not take her out then she definitely did a stellar job at forming bonds with the right people. She didn't win any comps after the second DE and by all means she should have been the first boot from Austwins, but instead ended up in a F3 scenario where she was guaranteed F2.

And if we need "moves," Liz was the main person to convince Vanessa to not backdoor Austin Week 5 (a move which really should have destroyed Vanessa's game; Shelli and Clay handling the situation even worse than Vanessa was the only reason Vanessa got away from that week without much blame), she was able to convince people to get rid of Julia instead of her in F6 even though it obviously should have been Liz, it was Liz's relationship with Vanessa that saved her from being the F5 boot and got Austin out instead.

I'm not saying she was a mastermind by any means, but she had a really strong social game within her alliance (hell, the Sixth Sense was literally formed to save her) and she formed all the bonds she needed to go very deep into the game. I definitely would've thrown a vote at her instead of Steve's white boy revisionism about things he thinks he did but really had no involvement in.
