Either would have been a worthy winner, but there was no way that jury was ever going to go with George. Congrats Hayley!

Either would have been a worthy winner, but there was no way that jury was every going to go with George. Congrats Hayley! I do think George had a shot at a few more votes if he hadn't framed his answers so politically, and just been up front that he recognized his physical limitations, but that he realized that it meant he had to maximize his assets. I saw someone pose a theoretical response to Emmett's question about regrets, and have him say, "Yes, I regret not getting jacked before coming on this show." He needed to stroke some egos. I think Hayley was always going to have the edge because she had a scrappier narrative post-merge, but George could've made it closer had he framed the jurors not just as threats and targets, but as strong gamers that he individually got the drop on, and emphasized that no matter how many times they went after him, no matter how many times he was on the chopping block, he never was voted out, which Hayley could never claim. But honestly, I don't think George could've swung more than Emmett and maybe Baden with that. Flick and Dani were always going to vote Hayley as a strong competitor, Andrew hated George, and Wai was tighter with Hayley. Gerald might've been the swing, but I think in the end, he would've respected the challenge wins. And I think that was always going to hurt George with a tribe that had multiple brawn members on it. I am impressed he swung Laura over, though.
