Survivor...It's war, game on

I think the difference is that yes, Sandra did win twice against non-winners, as you say. But more important is she won the second time against non-winners AFTER having already won the first time. The second group of non-winners knew going in that she was a previous winner. If they had been on top of their game, they'd have voted her out to prevent her winning a second time. Tony doesn't get the same kudos, because the stakes were different this season. Him winning this time was against only previous winners, so somebody this season was going to be a previous winner who won a second time - against previous winners. He can claim to be a "winner among winners." Not the same as what Sandra did.

She will always be queen, and Tony will always be, er... Number two. LOL!

Exactly!

I'm not sure about Michelle. But, I know Natalie does Cross Fit. I wouldn't even attempt it at my age but I know people who do and they are in seriously good shape.

She is a cross fit trainer.

I was talking about Natalie. Someone wondered what she did that might cause her to do so well at the puzzles. I don't know if Cross Fit is what does it, lol.

Michelle's bio says she is a travel consultant.

I wondered how Michelle could look at the cylinder puzzle and almost instantly get random size pieces to all stack to the same height so the ring that went next was level. She had "an eye" that let her do that when the others couldn't. Cliff and I have "eyes" for something being off even by <1/4 inch because we dressed windows for 30 years. Over the years I was asked about my background numerous times while presenting window treatment ideas and quotes because of the way I carry myself and speak about numbers after having been in the accounting world for 12 years. My response was always followed by "I KNEW you weren't JUST a designer". Cliff got the same thing installing because he approached things with an engineering mind rather than an installer "it doesn't work, take it back" mind. So I figured Michelle does something for a living or a hobby that instantly allowed her to assess those cylinders and get them to equal heights.

Michelle had done, and won, that puzzle before.

I knew you were talking about Natalie but someone commented on your post and the way it was worded sounded like they were saying Michelle was a Cross Fit trainer. Michelle had done that puzzle in her season and won it so I'm sure she had some concept of how it went together but you're right - what is up with her that she could zone right in on it? I would have been sitting there going, "Huh?" LoL

and Michelle was the very last participant to start the puzzle.
