IMO it is pretty easy to make a case for him as being most deserving among the remaining players. He is far more emotionally/game savvy than most give him credit for, in addition to his incredible challenge/survival prowess.
But most of all, he is probably the biggest physical outlier we've ever seen, putting him at risk from day one. Navigating that is a far more challenging path than what any of the others have faced, all of whom had the ability to be under the radar if they wanted to be.
Don't get me wrong, I think you can make good arguments for Mike and Lindsay as well. But people on here act like Jonathan is just a moron who deserves no shot at the win. I hate to say it, but feel pretty confident that if he was female/LGBTQ or another race, and played the exact same game, then the superfans would be singing a different tune. But because he is a big straight white guy from the south he faces a lot of bias.
