One of the first things he did while out there was sing about how it was time to look for an idol then he ran away to dig a silly hole.
I enjoyed Tony during his year, and he certainly is among the most entertaining players they have had, but the target on him was a large part due to how he went out to play the game this year. He played it to entertain the cameras, and keep his character going. That's playing it as far from perfect as possible in his situation.
Was he was doomed no matter what? Probably not, but maybe, and believing he played it perfectly is certainly a stretch, although most Sandra seasons or debates end up being how a two time winner plays badly and someone out the first episode plays great.
