You could look at it both ways. It could be strategy that you made it to the end with a good friend that you schemed with, or you could have joined an aliance to avoid elimination, and then the alliance leader makes all the decisions and they practically carry you to the finals because the leader sees you as a weak player and knows they could win against you.
