He wasn't flashy like she was but his game this season is definitely more successful when you consider the infinite amount of variables at play.
he played the best game to get to the end. didn't take any risks. his ftc is excellent, but it doesn't make up for the previous 3 weeks
big cass played the best game this season. yul's strategic game was staying out of trouble. cass did that too. merge to F7/8 she wasn't in the spotlight at all. equal here.
when it was time to make moves, cass stepped up. yul kept playing safe.
yul talks about his connections and relationships, but were they that good? i don't think so. cass got brenda's idol, yul and brenda talked only on the last day. cass approached andrea to vote me out, yul was asking you to do the talk for him. cass was the deciding factor in the first merge rounds, when the coup was attempted. what was yul's involvement there? i can't talk about what happened after i was booted, but look at what ozzy said. if yul had great connections, he was really bad at using them.
social game. i said it before, yul was my favorite to talk to. but cass was always a lot of fun. how many people were there who barely talked to yul? 3? 4?
variables. cass actively tried to use them to her advantage. yul tried to minimize their influence.
ftc is clearly yul's, but look back at his tribal performances. his opening statement is probably longer than all his other tc posts combined. he articulates his game better, but his game wasn't better.
cass was flashy. she was great strategically. she smoked the other finalists in challenges. she had a lot of fun and that was contagious. i'm giving her the edge on every aspect of the game.
