Like, the game that Adam wanted to play is completely different from the game he actually played, and I don't think it's entirely wrong to say he won on accident. The Jury Speaks videos are basically every single person saying that Adam will get their votes no matter what because even though he failed miserably, he tried to make ~BIG MOVEZ~. Can anyone name a big move he actually made? Because I've been thinking and I can't.

A bunch of people, not just Chris, praised Adam for being the one to convince Ken to flip at F4 which is so frustrating because that's not what we were shown at all. But yeah, sexism in Survivor definitely still exists so of course no one would think of giving Hannah any sort of credit for anything even though she got her way for every single vote since the rock draw. I'll give Adam credit for giving the Jury what they wanted to hear, but it wasn't that hard of a task.

I personally thought Hannah's FTC performance was solid and I loved her shutting Adam's **** down where he tried to take credit for things he didn't actually do, but it was never going to go anywhere unfortunately. Some people are saying her FTC performance was bad because she kept interrupting Adam and talking over him, but that was her only opportunity to say anything because all the questions were softballs lobbed at Adam to hit out of the park and the show did away with opening statements and closing statements because apparently Final Tribal Council is too boring and too much of a time-waster (even though they insist on stuffing the Jury with 10 jurors which makes no ****ing sense but that's for a whole nother post that will probably come in a few hours about everything wrong with this season and modern Survivor)

Alright I don't really wanna defend Adam too much because he is far from my favorite and I don't think he is that great of a winner. I may have cast my vote for Ken instead of Adam but Adam played the game that this jury respected the most. What I will say about Adam is that I think he had the right ideas but he often did fail at executing the moves. That meant more to this jury then what Hannah and Ken brought to the table. I don't really blame them for voting for Adam because the other 2 weren't very good options.
