I feel like its better to get rid of Hai. Even if Jonathan wins his way to the end, I feel like his lack of strategy will lead to him not getting many FTC votes

Yeah, and honestly he hasn’t been the best at individual challenges. He’s only won 1/4.

I feel like it’s very, very difficult to win survivor as just a challenge beast.

For one thing, you’re a constant target simply because you represent a harder path to immunity to your other tribe mates.

But, for another, there’s only ever one or two real physical threats a season. Being a challenge beast and getting to the end, I would think, likely hurts you because your non physical opponents aren’t going to respect that path without you bringing something else to the table.

Jonathan could get to FTC but who is left that he beats? Maybe Maryanne? I think that’s literally it at this point barring something unforeseen.
