That the other players didn’t understand her decision to nominate 278, because of her self-centered decisions in the previous challenge says everything about the other players. It speaks to the low EQ, poor observation of human behavior and vulnerable to manipulation the others are.
I totally supported Mai’s nomination of Ashley. She didn’t help in a team game agreement and then acted like she did all she could. Talk about victim behavior Edit: I really wish the person behind Ashley didn’t jump and just waited on her to make it to the end like she did to Trey LOL
When Mai explained to Ashley face to face why she nominated her and Ashley totally gaslighted her saying she did something completely different than what we all saw…like omg…
@@Hakeem597but she never spoke up that she didn’t agree to it. And only til Trey asked was she like nah you can keep going. What Mai did by choosing Ashley was exacting the balance of fairness and justice for Trey.
Mai deserved to win. She’s the only one who stood up for 301 to nominate Ashley. Even though she knows it would bring her in shit. Everyone else only stayed silent. We need more people like Mai in the world now. Stood up for justice
@@Kushncorinthian It could be. But the structure of the game is more of a social game than actual games vs players towards the end. I still think Mai got lucky towards the end with how many skip she had.
it was incredible how she could read people, sniffing out the nomination in the circle game and guessing rock paper scissors all the time really made her deserve to win.
I think that can happen to anyone in that environment. I think it would be hard to trust anyone in there. Also when she realized that she was wrong about him, you can see that she changed her thinking towards TJ. I was also really happy that Mai won!
I called it at episode 4 that mai was going to win! She deserved it. What a bad ass lady, i was so stoked for her when she unlocked that safe. Pretty excited for season 2
After all her key openings it would of sucked for him to have opened p the safe i was like damn the more keys she grabbing the less keys for him to sift throughbut she was right he loved them rock and scissor hand gestures
I am a massive fan of Mai, she reminds me of a colleague and friend who is very wise and observant but also sweet and simultaneously serious. Complex but also utterly likable (unless you’re an idiot like Ashley).
God really knew that Miss Mai deserved to Win!! God is with her because she has a heart to help less fortunate child and shes not greedy for money.... Congratulations Mai!! God Loves you so much!!!❤
Mai is such a well deserved winner. I supported her not because she's an Asian woman but her intelligence, her demeanor and her maturity of handling everything. She seems to be such a well-educated lady and a strong-willed competitor. She's gentle but she stands her ground without succumb to peer pressure. It sounds cheesy but she gave me that vibe of Andy Dufresne. I know she might not want to "represent" Asian community but as an Asian woman I'm so happy for her. Enjoy the well deserved money LOL edit: reading the comment about she doesn't need the money that much compared to other competitors - I mean she's certainly not desperate, got good job and family and what not - but she's got what she has for a reason. Some ppl being like communists saying that poor ppl deserved it more... I mean, there's also reason for the poor being poor. This is a game about intelligence, strength and some chance. Personally I think she would manage the money a lot wiser than let's say, someone has zero knowledge on finance.
I wanted Bee to win but Mai and Phil were the 2 others I wanted to win but I was slightly rooting for Mai more cause she totally deserved it she was one of the only people that was competitive but also fair and used strategy in every game, everyone complains about how some games were all about luck but they weren’t really if you think about it they all involve strategy and skill in some way and Mai used that to her advantage, the only thing I didn’t like about her is that she talked bad about TJ but I can see why she thought he was sketchy but at least she admitted she was wrong and even thanked TJ for helping her win
They really tried to make her the bad guy for playing the game smartly 😂 she ginuinely cared for most and tried not to put 100%trust in strangers as you can bond quickly with in closed spaces and experience but you often forget they are your competitors at the end of the day. She deserved it and though many of my favs or people that felt like the main characters didnt make the finals, i respect her.
Her saving grace was TJ.that is real grace she doesnt deserved to be hand picked by TJ because of how she talk about him badly but then TJ is a real kind person..he stand with her till th end whe tj also pick her to get the number 20 in glass bridge challenge..2x tj secure her spot in the finale. It will not hurt if she remember tj and give him a pecks of her winnings.
BS, she trusted him completely only after he showed through Actions, not Words, that he was who he said he was. She’s a critical thinker, and only a fool would impugn her for that.
Ten months actually! But in 99% of reality competition shows the winner/s don’t receive their money until 30 days after the finale airs. I’m assuming this is the same in Mai’s case
It makes sense that she doesn't get it until the finale, otherwise people around her will suspect that she won if she all of a sudden splurge, retire, etc.
@@proudream that makes sense.. the players can make a deal during the game to share/split the money in exchange for favors which goes against the spirit of the game
@@evildisaster8149 meaning you win the game by playing the game, not by any outside incentives which includes the prize money. to see where i am coming from, next time you play a friend in a game, offer a cash reward for them to throw the game. the game then becomes about something other than the game itself. that's what i mean.
@@GetReeeeel it’s because some people are subscribed to this channel or even just watched one video from them and scroll through only to see a spoiler on their recommended page. What should they do? Avoid RUclips entirely until they can watch this? I personally didn’t get spoiled, I’m just saying.
9:12 I love how she brought up Player 432/Bryton cause it’s true he was so impatient and thought he was better than everyone there just cause he’s an “athlete”, he didn’t deserve to even be there he was cocky asf yet he says “I’m not cocky, I’m confident” like b*tch stfu that wasn’t being confident he was literally the most cockiest person there and look were that got him, the dude even dropped out of collage cause he really thought he was gonna win🤦🏻♂️😂, every time he was on the screen I got so annoyed and heated and just was begging for him to be eliminated, I’m so surprised no fights happened on the show cause some of the Players I couldn’t stand like Bryton, Ashley, Lorenzo, etc like I would’ve been swinging at all of them if I saw them doing all that bs in the shoe if I was a Player on the show cause I can’t stand people like all of them, Mai truly deserved her win she played fair and with strategy in every game and like she said she lived for so long that she has experience on how to read people
I watched all 10 episodes ,and I'm glad you won, Mai, but I sort of felt sorry for player 130 getting eliminated after winning the advantage. It was a clever move, though !!
There was once I hated her finding her as a villain for not caring about tj when he supported her in a task and game But then when she decides to try to get rid of 278 nah screw that all forgiven
I wonder how different the game would be if you were able to share your winnings with other contestants. But, I guess you have to replicate how in the series, you can’t since they’re dead.
@@Beadlesstorh I had already seen the last episode, but the spoiler a day later is still annoying for some who may not have made it in time. Nowadays you are spoiled everywhere, only the FIRST who knows can pass it on. Terrible new world.
I want 016 Sam, 451 Phil to be the Top 2. And Mai's take on groups is wrong. Sam and Phil are in a group and they would stick to each other in the end if Sam got the Green light instead of Red. So yes, groups also do matter.
She does look rich and very young now. Tons of surgery new hair color everything. Thank goodness she got work done. Well I wanted the younger boy to win. He deserved it more. She was just a strategic player.
It’s not so much that people should go crazy…she’ll lose a couple million in federal taxes, plus some more to state income tax, depending where she lives. Enough to fund a decent retirement, but it isn’t celebrity rich.
She won because of TJ who she was talking a lot of mess about right before. Very disappointing to see. She played to win so kudos for that. But dishonorable.
She’s one hell of a tough cookie. Her human behaviour intelligence is amazing.
💯
yeah. imagine 278 win the game not Mai. it's terrible
That the other players didn’t understand her decision to nominate 278, because of her self-centered decisions in the previous challenge says everything about the other players. It speaks to the low EQ, poor observation of human behavior and vulnerable to manipulation the others are.

What a freaking BALLER. She felt like the only real person in the final 12, she made big moves and it all payed off. love this for her❤
Not all. She basically skipped 2 rounds both given by TJ.

I wanted Mai to win. Liked her as a person except when she didn't trust the coach. I think his name was TJ
But she apologised
I think that can happen to anyone in that environment. I think it would be hard to trust anyone in there. Also when she realized that she was wrong about him, you can see that she changed her thinking towards TJ. I was also really happy that Mai won!
I read somewhere Mai said the producers edited her comments from earlier to make it look like she distrusted him and then did a 180 🧐
Yet she was a backstabber
@@JetskiPH Not all 😂 she was the main backstabber that acted all innocent and nice crying every minute
She's so humble and nice!!! and Extremely Generous
She wasn't humble backstabbing the dude who trusted her lol

Lies she was a coward and a snake that got lucky plus her being Asian helps too
@@d-train510 facts
ur a grown boy go do ur job@@bensocrazy7264
She made the season worth watching.
When i heard her story about being in Vietnam during the fall of Saigon, I already knew that she understands survival.
Her backstory is incredible.
At first , I'm rooting for TJ, Chad , Bee ,Rick and Stephen and Trey and his mother and Mai.. I ended up crying over the glorious winning of Mai❤️
Factsssss
It was Bee, Mai or Trey for me. I celebrated Mai winning more than I celebrated the Rangers winning the World Series.
I’ve never been so happy for any win!!!! A joy to watch!!
Only cowards and snakes would like her play
I called it at episode 4 that mai was going to win! She deserved it. What a bad ass lady, i was so stoked for her when she unlocked that safe. Pretty excited for season 2

A well deserved win!
Not deserving she piggybacked of the guys and was a snake
@@d-train510 snake?? How 😐
I’m just happy she won just so 278 can get pissed at herself.
AMEN!! Was looking for this comment
L 278
287 & 278 is like the best and the worst. Angel & Devil. lol
Can’t agree more and she said that’s Karma🤣🤣🤣
278 should have been eliminated on the plank. Her getting eliminated two rounds later was her final destination moment.
I am a massive fan of Mai, she reminds me of a colleague and friend who is very wise and observant but also sweet and simultaneously serious. Complex but also utterly likable (unless you’re an idiot like Ashley).
Being a NAVY vet absolutely taught her respect, humility, cleanliness, and endurance.
I was totally rooting for Mai. So glad she won. She's a tough and strong woman.
You were amazing Mai. Congratulations!
I just gave her and her husband a lyft ride in Tucson. They were a blast to talk to. Best wishes to them.
God really knew that Miss Mai deserved to Win!! God is with her because she has a heart to help less fortunate child and shes not greedy for money.... Congratulations Mai!! God Loves you so much!!!❤

she nailed it the last game...
She was my number 1 vote when she got introduced
She was soooo the right person to win the money
delighted that she Won ..Well Done Mai xx
I feel that she has very strong intuition aside from her intelligence
@esthertemi416wha
I think it was because of her being an adjucator at the DHS, she knows how to read people and tell who’s lying!
Yayyyy! So glad she won! Goooo, Mai! I was rooting for you!!!! 👏👏
There is a round where she could guess who put the boxes in front of her. At that time i knew she would win. So smart
I wanted Bee to win but Mai and Phil were the 2 others I wanted to win but I was slightly rooting for Mai more cause she totally deserved it she was one of the only people that was competitive but also fair and used strategy in every game, everyone complains about how some games were all about luck but they weren’t really if you think about it they all involve strategy and skill in some way and Mai used that to her advantage, the only thing I didn’t like about her is that she talked bad about TJ but I can see why she thought he was sketchy but at least she admitted she was wrong and even thanked TJ for helping her win
I love that Mai won, but Bee would have 100% won if she didn't nominate herself. I LOVE HER. She is a GENIUS... WHY did she do that to herself???
Bee would of won because she is so smart, bee should of nominated mai

Wow you it rite on .
Yup. I felt Mai made a lot of snake moves in this game. She talked bad about TJ, whereas TJ.had major adoration for her.
Yess I hope she gives him money too he really looked out for her
BS, she trusted him completely only after he showed through Actions, not Words, that he was who he said he was. She’s a critical thinker, and only a fool would impugn her for that.
the shade Mai threw on 432 😂😂😂
Yesssssssssssssss I am so so so so proud of her
and she is a veteran! I like what she said...respect each other...you notice the ones who were arrogant...got eliminated pretty early....
Arrogant people are usually stupid
Ngl they focused on mai so much in the last few episodes so it wasnt surprising that she won but tbh she deserved it
Congratulations, Mai!!! You deserved it
She should thank the player that gave her the last number on the bridge.He was the hey for her
Very happy for Mai! 👍👏
I would've been ok with Mai or Phil winning, they were both deserving!!! I was happy with both of them making it to the finals.
She’s not received the money yet after two months of waiting .

any reason why?
That’s how that works in most reality shows. It’s a non-news, why are people surprised about that?
You cant give the winner the fund right before the final show bc families and friends will spoil it
I hope she sent TJ some money.
Apparently the winner is not allowed to share the money with other contestants, it's part of the contract they signed.

Yeah, despite not receiving the money. I’m guessing she wasn’t allowed to wear makeup on the show and thus appears younger.
