I think you're jumping to conclusions.
There must have been something going on off screen for Alison to be considered such a big threat by everyone because she won like, one challenge. Her edit for the first half of the season was her considering an alliance with Gabby and then not doing it. Her edit in the second half of the season was thinking she was leaving then not leaving.
As far as I could see, Kara's entire strategy consisted of being nice to people and not a threat.
This episode was definitely Mike's best of the season. I was impressed with him tonight.
Overall though, my point was no one in the finale was a threat to Nick winning, which made for a boring finale, even though Nick's win is entirely deserved. It was the complete opposite of the unpredictable tribals we got midseason.
