Survivor Finale: Who Should Win? Who Will Win?

Who will win?
I do not know.
Too many variables.

Who should win?
Omar.
He was playing the best strategic game.
But he's on the jury now.

So let's break down the strengths and weaknesses of each player.

Maryanne:
She made arguably the biggest move of the game, blindsiding Omar.
And she is very good at puzzles.
But otherwise, her resume is not impressive. 
No challenge wins.
She is iffy on the social game scale.
Some jurors probably like her.
Some are likely annoyed by her.
But she is a super fan.
And she is motivated and determined. 

Romeo
He gets my vote - for least likely to win.
No challenge wins.
Poor social game.
Often on the wrong side of the vote.
Since the merge he has been paranoid, hungry, and listless.
His only claim to fame was agreeing to Maryanne's idea to vote out Omar.

Mike
If Mike can win some of the challenges in the finale, he has a shot.
Because of the final five he has played the best social game.
He has made alliances.
Unfortunately, he also allowed himself to be completely manipulated by Omar, which might not sit well with the jury.

Lindsay
Lindsay is very good at challenges.
But how popular is she with the jury?
Her gender might put her in a more favorable position to win, because...

Jonathan 
His strength, is, literally, his strength.
He earned the nickname Goliath.
His team won several challenges due to his brute strength.
He was also the food provider this season. 
Since the merge, Jonathan has continued to win challenges.
But he also often been hangry, petulant, and self-important. He especially has not worked well with the female contestants. He has a "My way or the highway" attitude and often talks down to them.
He's also not good at puzzles.

So who's going to win?
Your guess is as good as mine.
