 It's real hard to argue a case for or against Kevin in this game. There's a part of my mind that believes that Kevin definitely could have taken this game by storm if he had a lot more time; but the reality of the situation was that Kevin was hardly always a presence due to his crazy work schedule. That being said, Kevin still played an intelligent and well-balanced game strategically. So I've been torn whether to rank him much higher, or much lower. After much self-debate, 16 seems like a safe number for me. Kevin, know I debated this for a long time and you could be placed higher or lower on the scale at this point. But you get here, and you're going to damn live with it!
Most of my debate with Kevin I think stems from the fact that a lot of his early game became a matter of just having to live with the terrible decisions that Yap made due to him being too busy. There's no doubt that Kevin is a fairly socially aware player. Kevin started off on Ferrous with a lot of ORG connections, being paired with Yap, having a history of lovership with Lindsay - hey hey wink wink. Kevin had.. won(?) TJ's game so he was real central in that foursome, and probably would have won it all in the Ferrous competition to the death.
Kevin landed on Mayagba, and was immediately drawn into the 5AM alliance. Which is I haven't already highlighted, WAS A GREAT IDEA AND REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL TO BOTH YAP AND KEVIN. I truly believed the two could have flip flopped between the two alliances - but Yap leaked it to Ricky, and that was really just the end of it. Kevin had to play with the SFers, would he have chosen them in the end? Yes, I truly believe so. Could they have played a more devious game? Definitely. Kevin kind of blended into the background here, just slightly developing relationships knowing that really he wasn't going anywhere in the grand scheme of things on Mayagba. Especially with their challenge record.
So bored, in fact, that he made this response to one of Georgina's music videos:

Never forget how damn hard it is to find a straight guy in Endure: Sierra Leone. DAMN HARD. He also set the comp record of being the ONLY person to recreate the tighty whities music video. He actually did it twice, because we didn't count the first one cause they weren't tighty whities.
There's so much wrong with season one and I feel like all of it is entirely encapsulated in that one video. Also in the true spirit of the straight guy that found itself in Kevin, he did that hockey player thing where he didn't trim his beard while the season was going on. SO STRAIGHT. FEEL THE MAN BALL SWEAT FROM THE TIGHTY WHITIES, RUB IT UP ALL ON YOURSELF.
Uh - yeah. Kevin/Jillian become a duo.. somehow? They're two very different people so I still don't understand y'alls friendship, it's still really a weird alliance to me. But that happened, and the two got switched onto Bo, where the two become essentially the swing vote between the two factions of Britti/Jeffrey vs. Tom/Cristina/Jamie E, and then everyone hated Eric. This position is clearly demonstrated by Kevin actually managing to get onto Mende, the high rollers tribe. The choice was never actually made though, which sucks - because it looked as though Tom/Cristina would have been the ultimate choice, and I'm all for a revolution.
Kevin showed a lot of intuition at merge. Ultimately his two big moves before he was brutally blindsided were as follows:
At Jon's tribal council, Kevin served as the swing vote that saved Jillian from getting the boot. Jillian was very close to leaving that tribal council as Yap had debated flipping in order to take out a threat, Kevin reigned him in (for the first time in the game, hmph. Too little too late, Kevin!) and this lead to Jon going home. This was crucial in gaining Jillian's complete trust and was just an excellent tribal council all together. Props all around on that one.
The second was Kevin was ultimately the main reason that Yap went home when he did. The iSF alliance lost the challenge at the final 14 which Jon had picked masterfully in the Dead Man Walking twist. The vote came down to Jeffrey and Yap - with the alliance leaning more towards Jeffrey. Obviously this would have been great for Ricky, getting rid of roommate and keeping Yap spy. Kevin was ultimately the caller in getting Yap out with Yap having nearly betrayed the alliance just the round before and logically felt he could have been part of the rebellion. It was real great.
Both are excellent game moves, that could probably be well fleshed out - but eh, I'm lazy. They both deserve massive props.
Kevin's boot however, is one of the best in the game, by far. Gaston, having just being booted due to BRYCE'S INDECISION, also a series of mistakes in pre-jury (ha!) he picked the tribes perfectly once again, and the iSF alliance is now at a point where they have to boot one of their own. The obvious choice would be Jeffrey, but nop - not anymore, it all comes down to bite Kevin in the ass. Kevin/Drew were pretty close, and they wanted to make sure that the next rounds Dead Man Walking worked in their favour as much as possible, thus blindsiding Kevin by giving Jeffrey an idol, with Drew voting with Jeffrey for Kevin. All around excellent. Obviously Kevin picked the best tribes possible for his alliance, in a blindsided mess.
This then causes Jillian to go Becky Buckwild on a revenge streak which - is pretty funny honestly. But she leaves soon after anyways.- Samm
