A common misconception about Survivor is you have a better
chance of winning the whole thing if you do great at the
challenges. But it doesn’t really matter how you do in challenges.
The top athletes have been getting picked off by the weak the
past seasons. The top female competitor Jacquie bit it
and the top men Dan and Ace already got the boot. Susie
and Crystal had something Ace and Dan didn’t - allies.

Having a strong alliance is the most important part of survivor.
Earl, Yul, and Tom were good at challenges but each had strong
alliances and sidekicks. Ozzie, Yao-man, and Ian, Todd and Parvati
both had  “girl power” (Todd with Courtney, lunch lady and Amanda
and Parvati with Natalie, Cirie and Amanda).
