The most surprising thing from Ponderosa: everyone hated Holly (and I'm not even sure why). Would Dan have actually won vs. Holly and Sash?

I'm not like these others that think you can't, I'm just skeptical.
It's not as hard as you guys are making it sound. Todd did it. Hatch did it. Heidik did it (barely). Even Boston Rob almost did it, and a lot of 3rd-5th place finishers have mastered it (Cirie, Cesternino, Yau-Man, Rafe, etc.).
But again, people aren't even considering this, they just think, "You respect strategy, so you'd be a dick, and everyone would hate you." That's fine, I guess, but it just shows how they wouldn't even try to separate the two. They'd all be screwed if they tried to play the likable card and got to a jury that respected strategy. Here's an idea: do both! It's possible, I promise! Many people have done it.
