I think Aras was underated in the sense that he kept the Cassaya together and they worked well in challenges (remember he was the challenge leader).

But he wasnt great strategically:
1. He wanted to vote off Bruce and kept Bobby (Bobby confirmed that he will have switched sides if he got the chance), just because he and Bobby were friends (too emotion in his decision).

2. He knew that Terry had II, he had a 3 person alliance and there were 3 more Cassayans left. He was the biggest challenge and jury threat and logically Terry + remaining Cassayans will vote him off, not to mention that he didnt have close bond with Bruce and Courtney (and possibly Danielle). But NEVER did he come up with any plans to avoid that from happening. He was completely saved by Cirie who was very loyal to him.

3. Out of all the Cassayans, no one can beat him except MAYBE Cirie. Yet he chose to bring Cirie to the Final 2 (again based on friendship). Cirie was the one who carried him, Cirie was the link for Aras/Shane and Danielle/Courtney.

Palau, I do not agree with your vote:

Terry - Aras (Respect him as competitor)

Danielle - Cirie (Friendship)

Shane - Aras - He was mad that Cirie swore on her kids, he was more mad at Cirie than Aras and he said he will never want to see her again. He will vote based on feelings.

Courtney - Aras, she DID say she will never vote for someone who stabbed her in her interview. If she wanted to pretend non sore, she would have voted for Danielle.

Bruce - Cirie (He said he was closest to Cirie and Danielle)

Sally - Cirie (based on her Final Words)

Austin - Aras (young guy's bond)

Aras wins. Of course its speculation. It will be close. There's possibility that Cirie may charm Austin to vote for her.
