Isn't that just proof of her social game. If you look at basically all 4 votes, Shan has been essentially socially controlling all of them, she's basically been the key player for the last 3, considered a solid ally if not their most loyal ally by the time they were voted out. She knew essentially everything that was happening regarding advantages and twisted that in her favor. I don't really know how she did it either, seems like it would have been far more obvious.
I'm surprised that she's not getting more credit on this thread. I can't remember the last time a new player has been this clearly impressive this early. The exit press for that whole tribe portrays this bizarre picture of Shan being like a Jim Jones cult leader of the tribe. She's being set up for a fall with the amount of focus she's getting but I've loved her, definitely one of the best casting choices they've made recently. Ricard's also been pretty good, clearly a very smart player.
Although I'm way higher on this season than most here. It's for sure one of the better newbie casts and seasons, I wish Production would lay off with the twists because this is a very strong TV cast.
