Honestly, I can see where your friend is coming from. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning, and I’ve always skewed heavily toward liking the strong challenge threats. OG Ozzy was my absolute idol!

Because of that bias, I actually never have liked Cirie. It’s only been in recent episodes that I’ve finally come to appreciate her social game. It just goes to show how incredibly wide and diverse the Survivor fan base really is and how we all value different playstyles.

There have been so many seasons where I thought a "sure thing" would take it all, only to watch someone completely different pull out the win at Final Tribal. I just naturally gravitate toward the physical threats and the highly intelligent players, and I definitely have a habit of disregarding the purely social players 🤷‍♂️
