You could tell no one on the jury at fire-making bought Liz's "I'm the biggest threat, I would dominate everyone at the end" talk. I've never seen someone roll their eyes harder than Venus.

I have to disagree with the final assessment on the season, and think it's an oversight on what can make a survivor season memorable. Everyone watches differently and has things they want to stand out or will pay more attention to, but for me it's not always strategy and gameplay that gets remembered for years to come. Sometimes it's the challenges, character interactions, island life, blunders, etc. Personally, I think Q's weird tribal blow up where he tried to get everyone to vote for him, Liz's reward meltdown, and honestly how bad Gelinsky and Bhanu were at the beginning of the game will stand out to me for a while. And as far as strategy I can easily picture people talking in the future "remember that season where everyone who found an idol went home with it, with four of them in a row?"
