It was weak women who lost. Kim played against bad players, Troyzan included. It was a season of terrible play. Her moves were obvious. So obvious that dullards like Troyzan could see them. The fact is that he was too bad a player to be able to convince Kat, Alicia and Tarzan that they had no chance at winning with the plan that they were playing. The fact is these idiots did not see the obvious writing on the wall when Troyzan told them about it. This was a year of bad play. There have indeed been many great and very strong women on this show who have dominated the game and deserved to be placed among the elite players. Kim is nowhere near that level of player. Sandra, who is maybe the best player ever, along with Parvati, Amber and Jenna were all strong women who outplayed great players in each of their wins. Danni Boatwright beat probably the strongest woman to ever play in Stephanie LaGrossa. Kim is at best in the middle of the pack of winners. I don't think Troyzan cared at all that he was beaten by a woman. I think he cared that he was beaten by a bad player and that he played the right card but bad players let it go by. Maybe Kat, Christina and Alicia are happier that at least a woman won, but I think had they thought it through, either one of them would have done better in the finals against Troyzan and Tarzan than they would against Kim since those two men were pretty much hated on their own male tribe. I think had Troyzan got Christina, Alicia and Kat to realize that they had no chance to win with Kim in the game, one of those three would have won. Kim won the game and I give her props for winning, but as a fan of the game, I can hardly be excited by her dominance like I was when Parvati actually dominated great players. This was somewhat of a joke. It was bad casting, which is why the ratings have sucked. I went through the last 5 weeks not really caring who won. I am going to give it one more chance, but I fear this show just jumped the shark.
