I think Ken might've won a fan fav.   I didn't really get it with David.  What did he do that was so superior?   I mean to be considered a threat. 

I don't think Ken would have won fan favorite. Yes I know some on here thought he was so hot but his personality was kind of dull to be honest. I think Jay would have won fan favorite before Ken and yes, even David who many did think played a good game. David's game wasn't perfect, no one's was really but he did do enough to position himself as a major threat in the game. Most of his moves started very early which fits with his goal to play the game like chess, thinking about multiple steps ahead.

Going all the way back to the first vote, he and Rachel were seen as the ones to blow the immunity challenge and the vote was supposed to be between the two of them. However, David managed to convince Bret and Chris that contrary to what they believed he didn't have an idol (he really didn't have one then) and that they would have his loyalty if they saved him for that one vote. In the end, he got no votes and the votes came down to Rachel and CeCe. 

He later used his idol to save Jessica, a move that might have seemed dumb at the time and he did question himself after but in the end it solidified his alliance with Jessica to the point that she stayed loyal to him, right up to the point of even drawing rocks when everything in her told her it was a mistake and sure enough she did end up going home. 

Despite playing his idol for Jessica that foiled Chris and company's plan, when the tribes switched, Chris still came to him and trusted him with the decision to vote out CeCe, even if Chris didn't need his vote for the move because it was Chris, Michelle and Zeke to David and CeCe. And David once again avoided any votes despite Michelle loudly going after him and calling him untrustworthy and a threat. 

He managed to stay invisible for a few votes after the merge, came up with the plan to get rid of Chris when Chris and Sunday were going after Jessica and worked with Zeke to make it happen. And I do think his building an alliance with Hannah and Adam and making a case for others, helped keep him around longer than he should have been. David's name was being thrown around as the biggest threat to win for three tribal councils before he was finally booted.
