I dont understand why people think Denise does nothing, is UTR or isnt playing the game with any strategy.

For the past 3 episodes, she has been the star. She has stated she is aware of her standing in the tribe. Thats important to know. She has been heard discussing with the camera her various options. So, she is definitely thinking and strategizing. She agreed to vote off her close close buddy James, because she saw that he was truly a threat. She did not stick with him out of love, loyalty or anything else. THAT would have been a dumb move. She entertained relations with Pei Ghee that got her to a reward. She was smart enough to recognize that PG is an immunity challenge threat, and she purposefully did not take her to any rewards specifically to keep her weak. We all saw and heard that. She wanted PG to fail in immunity runs, and she picked a strategy that admittedly pissed PG off, but had a strategic purpose.

Denise was smart enough to realize that she could not flip to be with PG and Erik. Even if the tie went in their favor, she would be heading to final 2 with one of those two, and with the jury composition filled with mostly PG clan and backstabbed alliance members, she would never win first prize.

Denise has mad it clear by the way she decides to vote that she is looking to be the final survivor.

Who can argue with being in the final two with Todd? He has made himself the perfect goat. Now Denise, Amanda and Courtney are going to duke it out to find out which one gets to go to final 2 with him.

We all watched and heard Denise talking strategy with her husband. What part of that makes people think she is not planning and strategizing?

Every vote she has been open to the notion of flipping or changing up. We have not seen her actually throw out a name, but this last episode I saw her talk Amanda out of a bad vote choice. You could actually see her brain working as she chose the words. Thats called playing a quiet strategy. And rather smart. If she can convince jury members that she didnt "orchestrate" their ouster, then she is an easier choice than the goat.

She isnt being brilliant. She isnt conniving like (was it Clay or the other old guy on the year Brian won) who wrote secret pics or notes on their vote to indicate that they really felt sorry about the vote, or had no choice in the vote-- to try to assure more final jury votes. There are some things Denise could do to ensure more votes at final 2. But she IS strategizing, planning and plotting, and ultimately making smart moves. So what if PG is mad she wasnt taken on rewards? Would PG hand Todd the money, when Denise has been her friend and Todd has not? I think Denise is betting that her choices will pay off in the end. I do NOT see her playing for second place.
