He earned this victory plain and simple.
Okay but, my thing with this is OF COURSE he played a masterful game. He's done it FOUR times. He was 3 up on everyone to start with. Aaaaaaahhhhhh! And sorry, but I'll 'downplay' it and say that it was a definite advantage for him getting the tribe he did. I think they'd been the same way with Russell. He'd chosen Natalie and Ashley as his girls, but I do think the end result would have been different (with one of the girls winning).

The dude has had 6 chances at the big bucks, and he FINALLY gets it. Kudos to him. Yay.
