    Dreamz is a perfect example of a player that does everything they can to get to the final vote with no actual strategy of how to win that vote. I guess third place is better than fourth in his mind, but he might as well have kept his word and taken the L.

      @@abhainnxv1554 Yes. Basically this. It also helps to keep in mind that when the show originally started (before it came to the US), the principal idea was to vote out the weakest players, both pre- and post-merge.
      Richard Hatch cemented the concept of hidden alliances voting for their own survival over anything else, which became part of the show's overall strategy, for better or worse. But at any rate, it does significantly affect how people view how you played the game, which is part of what influences their final vote.

    The funny thing is I feel like they were their own downfall. The alliance had potential, they seemed like mostly smart guys, but their bad traits basically ensured that they wouldn’t win. They were too arrogant and eager to stab each other in the back due to being selfish. If it wasn’t for that, they could’ve actually done well.

    The Four Horsemen weren't exactly Tony and Cirie out there, but I don't think they were _that_ bad. They actually had the right idea to put their votes on Cassandra at the critical tribal council when Edgardo went home. Unfortunately, Dreamz just told Earl the whole plan. It was also hilarious at Final Tribal Council when one of them (Alex, I think) asked Earl how he knew where the idol was, and Earl just responded with "Dreamz."

    I didn't like this alliance as a whole at all, but dang it was funny to see them flop. They helped make the early merge the best stretch of the season.
    I also felt bad for Anthony, on a side-note. One of my personal favorite pre-juror players of all time. I think if he was on Moto, I doubt he would've won but I could've seen him going deep with the decently solid social game he had. But, him vs. the Ravu bros. RIP.

      He said at one point in an interview last year he thinks he would def have gone pretty far had he not be swapped onto Ravu or even possibly if he was exiled in Lisi’s place. There was an all black alliance on day 1/2 but they didn’t want to make it too obvious by choosing each other in these picks which makes sense, but unfortunately Anthony ended up on the bad end of that with him being on Ravu with the 4 horseman and Rocky. It was actually cool hearing from him recently in that interview. I’d like to see Once Upon make a video on him sometime.
      Also in that interview he mentioned how he realized where the idol was a month after the game, if only he pieced it together on the island that would be amazing for him to pull out that idol on the tribal he went home and send Rocky out or smth.

If dreams didn’t backstab them, that idol play would’ve been beautiful. I honestly wanted these guys to come back after watching this season. They had great potential.
    P.s - I’m a huge Earl fan. He’s possibly my favorite winner of all time, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy this alliance too. These guys had passion for the game. The 40’s have had some really stupid players, and mainly terrible winners.
