She is definitely smart, her confessionals show that.

Right, she is singlehandedly what makes the season good in my opinion. She is the chaotic factor that was the swing on so many pivotal votes throughout the season, causing so many plot twists.

I think Crystal failing at challenges was also because she’s used to simulated athletics. Running on a flat, paved track is not the same as running uphill on dirt. Like how Olympic archery doesn’t actually look the way hunting or battle archery did, it’s real world practicality versus simulated ideal environments.

Things I loved about how terrible this season is: - A final 3 of all goats, which I've never seen before, which is just hilarious. - Some great villain characters (I like Corinne and found Crystal and Randy hilarious) - Just how stupid people were in terms of strategy. A pagonging thwarted by idiocy. Look, I'll take comedic, fun, idiot-filled season like this over a depressing season (All Stars) or a boring season of no characters (Thailand) any day.

[@esperhunter7263]

wait you think Suzie was a goat? how so? she wasn't good at literally anything. Weak in social game, very weak in competition game, weak in finding food/survival, no sign of general intelligence.

As inept as she might’ve been, Crystal was such an excellent character. The fact that she made it as far as she did is mind blowing! (When based on her challenge performances and the amount of tribemates she got into arguments with and not on her alliances, that is.) I just loved watching her burn everything down and would _love_ to see her return to see how she would play a second time! EDIT: Look, I get it, what she did with using steroids was _not_ okay. However, I try not to judge people as I’ve never walked their path, in their shoes, with their brains and emotions. None of you have _any_ idea who/what was pressuring her to do the steroids. Was it her coach? Someone else with a lot of power over her? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m damn sure that none of y’all know the facts though. I certainly hope none of you are ever in a situation where you’re harshly judged for something by tons of people who are clueless when it comes to *any* of the details and her mental/emotional state, as well as the pressure(s) she was under. I’m sure you’ll just continue to be cut and dry/black and white judgmental assholes as that is *clearly* who you all are. Also, she wasn’t on steroids on Survivor, thus it should have *nothing* to do with her being brought back. She was a *fantastic* television character, which is an incredibly important detail. Plus, I’d say that there’s an excellent chance that she’s grown leaps and bounds over the years and she deserves to show the world that. Though that’s probably far beyond y’all’s emotional reasoning skills as well. Shocking. Haters. LOL.
