Bob the wrong Survivor winner?

Over the past few weeks, Wifey and I have thought that YES, Bob should have won Survivor, and he did. Good for him. He turned out to be the best in terms of winning the competitions and HEY, he outfired Matty in the tiebreaker.
But in the final three, I thought perhaps he would have swept the vote...until I talked it through with Wifey.

Of the final three, yes Bob created the fake idol and used it on Randy, and YES Bob won 5 straight challenges....but Sugar and Susie might have played better games. Susan, without realizing it and Sugar, who never stood a chance with the jury, but she should have.

Sue in her speech talked about how she didn't think she'd make it, but how she wanted to prove to herself and her son and students that she kept trying. She SHOULD have said that there were only TWO TIMES when she was seriously in danger and yet she won both immunity challenges. She stepped up when necessary. AND it was her flopping that CHANGED the game. It sent Marcus, Charlie, Randy and Corrine home. She was a MAJOR player, but I just don't think she realized it at the time. (Kenny really masterminded that one. Sorry Crystal, you were a coattail rider there. Kenny probably SHOULD have been in the final three because he was ACTUALLY playing the game the best? He got Ace, Marcus, Charlie, Randy and Corrine gone. And he did it when he should have been gone a LONG time ago.)

Sugar meanwhile certainly didn't gain any friends, but she sure enough outlasted all of the jury and I LOVE it when people cannot give respect and credit to a player who PLAYED THE GAME the best. She jumped around and attached herself to the right people at the right time. Heck, she was in exile the entire time, played her cards correctly and got to the end. She even picked the winner, really. She threw curveball after curveball and Greg Madduxed everyone. Did the people on the jury like her? Probably not, but they should have respected her game. If they thought her game was crap because she lied and didn't play honorably, well you played a dumb game MARCUS. you could have been at the final three with Charlie and Corrine if you had just let Crystal and Kenny go instead of trying to get Crystal to "blindside Susan." pretty dumb on your part. Sugar's name was never written down and good for her. She played Kenny and Crystal, then dumped them when they were useless to her.

I do think that Sugar was the best free agent player of the game, Susan had the biggest impact when she flipped, Kenny was the brains (who I was really rooting for until he turned so cocky. That did him in and I think he realized it in the reunion show). But Bob was the most likeable and best competitor (really over Matty and Crystal? Matty, what a disappointment and Crystal was a goldmedalist in SUCKING). As for Matty going against Bob (he had the pact with Sue), Kenny going against Bob (get over it dude, you got caught and you STILL never admitted it!) and Crystal going against Bob (you are STILL being influenced by Kenny? Are you going to be able to make it now that Kenny isn't calling your shots back in your regular life?) come on guys.

Bob should have swept the vote. But he won. Good for him. I liked him. I was rooting for Matty, but then jumped on the Bob bandwagon with the fake idol. I also think Corrine is a mean and nasty person. what she said....wow. Jeff should have been harder on her during the reunion
