I find it amazing that people are _still_ so fooled by Sugar’s bon-bon appearance that they don’t realize what a great game she played – up until the final TC, of course, when she buckled and threw the win to Bob (who of course was himself not undeserving). ---

I think that _was_ a strategic move. Look, she knew she wasn’t going to win, the players didn’t like her, she was a pro. Bob was beloved, so she did what she could to help him win, thus making her more popular with the TV watching dudes. ---
