This could cast him the win a second time. Esp. since the timing of the taping of the two seasons means that just as the other players didn’t know him when he taped HvV, he didn’t know that he hadn’t won his regular season yet – no feedback for self correction. ---

I am not sure that the feedback would have helped. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-heroes-v-villains/524054.md?page=1)
