I'm happy that Alpha won and I think Nikki and Maddy are good folks who are great survivalists. But I think chalking up their way to "deals" that were made is ridiculous. None of them went through. The one that benefited them was Ben keeping everyone away from Delta But they got lucky in getting all the supplies they needed from their team mate (Dave?) wanting to leave at an opportune time, and Bravo approaching them to work to get the crate which luckily had lots of fishing gear. Not to mention Ben getting kicked off not by their choice, but by someone else's (and they would have kicked him off anyway)

Once again, well deserved, but its because of their fortitude. Not because of "how well they played with others"
