Somebody on another blog site put what I was thinking perfectly:
Quote:
I think we argue till we're blue in the face whether being the snake or the coattail rider is the better move, but it really just varies with the jury. If you have a petty and vindictive jury, the coattail rider wins (Danni, Sandra, Amber, Vecepia... etc. and now Natalie); if you have a less bitter and more detached jury, the powerplayer wins (Brian, Richard, Yul, Tom... etc.).
This just happened to be a season where the jury voted more on emotion and the social game, as opposed to the strategic side.

And, I knew before last night that the petty whiners back in Ponderosa would never vote for Russell. They voted for the person they disliked the least, Natalie. Dave is even quoted as saying that. All the Galu's felt they were the better tribe, and it gauled them to no end that Foa Foa's made it to the end and not one of them. They somehow forgot that they were the main instruments in Galu's downfall. They had an 8 to 4 advantage, and they BLEW IT!!
Natalie didn't win because she played a socially strategic game, she won because Galu had to hold their nose and vote for the person that disgusted them the least.
