There are also other factors that prevent dq's statement from becoming true. Age is one example. Most of the competitors past their prime so Evelyn stands a greater chance to beat somebody like Emily. One question, does anybody miss the old days (Ex: Inferno/Gauntlet 1) where the faceoffs was based on willpower instead of the most althetic person?

To me the strongest male would be either CT or Landon. I know Landon only did two challenges, but he won both and was a tremendous asset to his teams in both challenges. CT is for obvious reasons as it seems that there was nothing he ever struggled with. As for the strongest female i would have to say that it's Jodi. She became very smart in how she played the game after the Inferno II and won immunity a good amount of times on female Duel days.

also because in past challenges Darrell always had alliances with ppl to keep himself in the game

To me I think the strongest female was probably Coral, Coral knows how to play the game and she's pretty strong phyically.

I think the strongest male is Brad, he has alot of heart. He might not be the strongest one phyically, but he could probably outsmart one of the stronger players (like CT).

I like Coral personally, but she really is a one dimensional player -- persuasion/intimidation. That is a good thing as long as people are swayed by it and production is happy with where she takes things. She is not that strong physically, and she occasionally gets inside her own head and consequently makes poor decisions. She is also not a particularly good team player unless everyone around her is on "Team Coral." If she weighs more than 110 lbs, I'd be surprised.

For the males:

I think it would have to be a tie IMO between Wes and Darrell.

Wes definatly plays the game the best. With everyone against him in FM and basically dead weight as a partner. He was exiled 5 times and still got third place. He also was out of the main loop on the Duel but was able to manipulate his way to create his own allience and eventually win the challenge. Regardless of the fact that Wes had a slower time then Brad... The soccer portion was apart of the mission and therefore you can't deduct points from him.

Darrell won every challenge he has been on. You can't deny somebody who is undefeated the top spot. The only reason why I tie him with Wes is because Wes was always withstanding being a target while Darrell usually passed by unnoticed till the finals. Not saying he did not earn his spot but he did not go through 5 exiles and some duels.

Darrel is the most constistent (sp). Not the best.

What more can he do to prove his abilities... he won every time
