Now that the spoiler warning is out of the way, damn Bob, and a true congrats to one of the best contenders ever to play the game. He wasn’t without his problems, as Sugar had to save his butt in the end, Matty ended up losing his spot in the final three (and the million dollars, apparently) in a fire-making challenge, and the biggest criticism we’ve heard about the guy is that his game plan was essentially no game plan, but in all honesty we’re now over the Ozzy era, and the year of the Yau-Man. You can’t honestly think that a power player that pushes out the big guns from the very beginning, takes charge of camp and walks a big walk is realy going to take it all the way anymore.
