Natalie earned those tokens though. Yes, she was out there the longest, but Amber, Danni, Ethan, and the rest of the pre-20 returnees were out there for a majority of the game and barely had any tokens to share between them. Did she have the most opportunities? Sure. But she also hustled those tokens in the physical portion, the equivalent of winning at least five individual immunities for the solo tasks and all the rewards for group tasks. AND she bested the social portion by targetting players she knew had tokens, and extorting them for soooo much money.

Like, 8 tokens for a disadvantage at the challenge. That's INSANE. And she had to figure who had the tokens, who was on the bottom, whowould pay, and how much they would pay. If Nick doesn't pay for that EIGHT TOKEN, Natalie only has 6. Hell, anyone who found it first may have had eight, or much less because they could've targetted someone who wasn't going to pay or their asking price would be a lot lower.

It's not because Natalie was out there first (though that helped for getting lay of the land). Natalie out there first should actually have been a disadvantage with how little they eat every day: look at Danni, Ethan, and Amber. But Natalie is insane. She should theoretically be on the verge and lacking all energy, but she's a goddess. Like, it's insane how she's lapping EVERYONE no matter if they got there last night or a few days after her. Only Wendell compared in the last Edge challenge physically, but mentally Natalie edged him.

I'd argue Natalie's run on Edge of Extinction is as anomalous as Brock Lesnar's domination of this year's Royal Rumble. Not everyone who starts out first in these things ends up making it far, but it's unlikely anyone else would be so dominant from a starting position.

So I'm sick of Natalie's advantage was being first out arguments. No. Natalie's advantage was being Natalie.
