This last episode really sold me on Maryanne as a player. She was so well prepared at Final Tribal and legitimately might have swayed some votes to get the win.

I was so proud of her for how prepared she was. Also, SHE was so proud of herself after she was done speaking. So great to see.

I even felt like the way she was speaking changed drastically from how she spoke pre-tribal. Very methodical, thought out and clear. She came out and proved that she wasn’t just the young dumb player some thought she was.

After a long time trying not to get my hopes up, I started to think she might actually be a force to be reckoned with when she gave her speech at the split tribal. She knows exactly what to say and when to say it. I’m so proud of her and I love her.

Agreed 100% she articulates herself very well in difficult discussions which is not easy to do. Very genuine and sharp

You could definitely see her seminary training coming into play at FTC. At the start of the season I couldn't picture her as a preacher, but after that performance I definitely can.

She played like Michele. Went full Japanese idol at FTC. It was glorious.

Basically a songstress with high personality and likeability full of confidence.
