Would things have been different?
I wonder how different things would have been if Ulong had kept Jolanda around. Yes, I know she was annoying, bossy and loud, but she was also strong and a triathlete. Every time they lose a challenge, I see where her strengths would have helped the tribe.

Re: Jolanda
I don't think it would have made a difference. Just about everyone on Ulong is physically strong. What they lack is brains. I think the biggest blowto the tribe was when what's-his-name hurt himself and asked to be voted out.

I don't know, maybe Jolanda could have made a positive difference, but I doubt it. Koror is probably the strongest, smartest team that I remember seeing on Survivor. And for the one immunity challenge that Jolanda did participate in, she didn't help much, if at all.

Re: Braun & Brains
When it came to pure muscle, I doubt there was ever a tribe stronger than Ulong. Unfortunately for them, they weren't very smart. Koror keeps winning because they posses both brains and braun, which is something you need to have in order to be sucessful at this game.

To look at Ulong vs Koror, from the very beginning I would have thought that Ulong would have had the advantage. They had youth and strenth and I wonder if Jeff hadn't been injured if it would have been a different game. I have to agree, that while Jolanda seemed a strong physical player if she might not have been all that much of an asset. This is definately a first for Survivor, does anyone know if there is any other season that came as close as this one did with one team dominating another?

Re: Domination
Yes, I think there was another season in which one tribe won most of the Immunity Challenges until the merge, but I can't remember which season it was. For some reason I want to say it was the Thailand season, but I'm not so sure it actually was.
