I think a lot of times the coattail rider wins by not having to have been the bad guy, but the dominant player often screws himself by being a jerk (cf: Russell Hantz). When the dominant player is NOT a jerk, he often gets the reward he deserves (cf: Yul/Pearl Island, Earl/Fiji). bella wilfernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-41034835855205539742010-09-30T17:37:09.000-04:002010-09-30T17:37:09.000-04:00If anything, I think we've seen the Remora str...If anything, I think we've seen the Remora strategy pay off time and again. A player with a distinct weakness (be it lack of ability in the challenges or likability) latches onto a dominant player, rides them to the final three, and then wins because they never had to go out on a limb or expose themself to get there. They reap the benefits of the dominant player's dirty work without getting too much of the blame.<br /><br />Usually it requires a degree of strategic ability in order to deflect blame/form relationships/leave good impressions with the others while still sticking with their meal ticket, but this is definitely something "Survivor" has seen again and again.Dan Suitornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-50500568001034302992010-09-30T09:03:54.000-04:002010-09-30T09:03:54.000-04:00It is really damn hard, though, to win the game as...It is really damn hard, though, to win the game as a male strategic leader.

He's being too aggressive too early - classic Survivor misplay. Everyone else went along to get along, but soon enough, the blowback will come.Adam C.noreply@blogger.com
