Before you read this and say this dude is crazy hear me out. I'm watching the show and I'm currently on the episode with the top 5. They're doing the pov comp to see if Kalia or Porsche can take themselves off the block. Adam uses the pov he wins to take kalia off the block. Daniele goes up. Him and Kalia vote out Daniele.
At that point, Rachel can't participate in the next Hoh competition. They take her out next. It's Adam Kalia and Porsche in the Final 3. He can easily strike a final 2 deal with somebody if he used the veto on them. That move could've single-handedly won him the game.
I think you can float by the game like Adam but if you make that one big move to solidify yourself you could win.
You assume that just because Rachel couldn't compete in HOH that she wouldn't win veto, so it would still come down to luck/circumstance. Not gameplay on Adam's part
