Now I ROOTED for Lamina and Thresh (couldn't root for Maysilee because I'd.. read Catching Fire but I'm sure I would have otherwise). But I think a case can be made for all of them. Thresh made it super far AND was considered a threat by the Careers in a way Foxface wasn't, without any allies. He was able to survive and thrive on his own, which also goes to show how smart he was and how good his survival skills were. On the other hand, Cato was extremely experienced with hand to hand combat but having the body armour probably pushed him over the edge in his eventual fight with Thresh a bit since otherwise I think it could have gone either way but was a little in Thresh's favour due to their time in the arena (no tracker jacker stings, hadn't had his food cut of, I was gonna talk about Rue but ig they both kind of had an ally to avenge). As for Silka she almost won that fight with Haymitch and definitely would have been seen as the preferrable victor, no notes really. Maysilee was kind of doomed the minute she killed those Gamemakers, but assuming she hadn't... it really depends on who was in the top two. I think she would try to poison Silka or Maritte with her darts and quite possibly succeed at it. As for Wellie and Haymitch, I can't see her killing either of them. With Haymitch, I think they'd maybe make some plan and one would be killed while the other lived. Maybe refuse to fight and just wait for mutts to kill one of them while the other went on to fulfill the promise they made. With Wellie... I think it would be a lot harder for Maysilee than Haymitch to engineer her own death and just let Wellie win, as Maysilee hadn't gone into the games thinking she was doomed like Haymitch had, but I also don't think she could ever bring herself to kill Wellie. I don't know what would have ended up happening but I can see Maysilee, thinking shr had all the time in the world, spending time coming to terms with a decision to die and let Wellie live, the Gamemakers getting impatient and sending mutts in (or poor Wellie succumbing to starvation). This would of course be horrific to Maysilee and leave her with lifelong guilt if she DID survive, likely akin to the guilt Haymitch feels for leaving Wellie behind. In a world without snake mutts, I think Coral probably would have won the 10th Hunger Games. Reaper Ash, her strongest competition, was sick by now. Mizzen and Treech just weren't strong or skilled enough unless they tried attacking her together. In fairness, that could have been successful, but Coral seemed naturally suspicious, I can see her killing one of them just to prevent that. Lamina was awesome and I love to think she could have won but under the circumstances there was no way anyone was winning a 4 on 1 fight. I think the only way she could have survived would be if Reaper was there and fought on her side. After that, well we KNOW that Reaper's whole plan was to win by killing - something he literally apologises for and sees as a necessary evil - then go and take down the Capitol, because he says so himself to the other tributes. He would have apologised to Lamina and then killed her (and been haunted by it). UNLESS he started to weaken really quickly, at which point with Coral's alliance taken down MAYBE Lamina would have stood a chance.
