I honestly think that your view of the game is one of the most accurate ones compared to the other HGs, but there are things that you weren't present for, so you cannot have an opinion about it.
1) I was kind of ready for Tim not making it there, just because Kelsey and Bros wouldn’t take him to F2 (loyalty, game). First I was ready for Kelsey-win since i thought that jury just doesn't like the brothers enough. BUT the more close it was to the finale, the more i could forsee the Bros-win. First were the answers to Canada's questions in which you could just see how much Kelsey's jury answers are not going to help her. And then there was the one aspect of jury voting: jury votes for someone who they are OK being beaten by. And Kelsey just didn't have that.
2) IMO Phil was able to recognise and gravitated towards the good strategy and talked about it as his own. They got extremely lucky and as much as it hurt other people, it also hurt them because now we just don't know if they would ever survive that long without the luck. Plus later in the game, given the fact that they could fully trust each other, they became a little bit too arrogant out loud (they had that 1 other person to openly talk about it).
Kelsey's game is an interesting one, because i think she played a little bit different game than what BB is (from her perspective) and also frequently forgot a lot of the things she said or did in the game, but she did study.
Also I want to address Tim's game, because as much as I think he definitely has enormous understanding of people and other qualities that are beneficial in the game, IMO he just didn't always use them in the right way and made a lot of mistakes and benefited from luck in a lot of situations. There are really great moments/moves in his game and really poor ones. Plus I think he wouldn't get so far without Cass (on emotional and game level).
I still think that you were the best player overall since everything you did in the game, benefited you in one way or another and got you into a better position. Let’s not forget about your position right after the vote in week 5. And even after your game got exposed, the moves you made got you into better position than a lot of people would have been, if the same thing did happen to them. It just wasn’t enough and I think you were just one vote away.
3) TIM, I would consider voting Kelsey (just because Phil's ego), but I would vote for Bros (after Kelsey's answers).
