Woo! Reliving this season while researching Ty had to have been one of the most fun experiences I've had in a while. The Amazon was old-school, nitty-gritty play. The men dominated the pre-merge and everything was mostly quiet until the merge, where the men imploded. Everyone turned on the targets, but Ty, even giving up immunity, had other plans up his sleeve. He played his Hidden Immunity Idol to save himself, and then convinced the person he was voting out to give him an immunity idol the next tribal. Ty was a physical, social, and strategic threat, and coupled with the fact that he was an underdog made for him to be a great winner.
Ty won 5/6 immunities during one stretch, and four in a row during that stretch. He also surrounded himself with other threats in the creation of the #Underdogs alliance, and turned what could've easily been a boring pagonging into an exciting clash of two opposing alliances. Well if Ty's physical skills got him to the Finale, his social skills got him to the end. After two straight tribals in which he was not immunity, his connection with Neil proved valuable, as he convinced Neil to stay loyal through and through, in the end relying on Neil's vote to bring him to the Finals.
Ty played a fantastic game, a cocky, entertaining player who was able to deliver physically and always had an adaptable plan for moving forward. The reason he isn't the best in series history was that in the end game, he was NOT in control of his own destiny, and had to rely on the good graces of Neil to get him to the Final Tribal Council. He also didn't win in commanding fashion, so that's another tally against him. But all in all, he played fantastically, and he deserves to be recognized as the second best winner in series history.
Holy shit, I remembered that alliance. I also remember Amazon being the very first group game I ever played...ah, memories. I really wish I still had that wildlife rap from the first challenge I won.
