He's not the CEO because he kept trying to get his dad's approval and kept trying to be fair to his siblings.

He should have forced Logan out years ago.

tried to in season 1, but roman bytched out when he had the chance to kill his dad. then shiv renegotiated to get herself a board seat in season 3 along with sandi as well, and her vote ultimately cost kendall the crown.

Kendall was stupid for ever trusting his siblings lol. They even told him they were thinking about murdering him when they were swimming. They just didn't mean literally.

Shiv went with what she thought was the better deal for her - being the CEO's wife instead of the CEO's sister. Might be an illusion of power but even the illusion of power can be tempting.

I'm not sure if Tom is as big of a winner as everyone is saying. He's now a "pain sponge" for a boss who will probably fukk his wife while she's pregnant with their kid.

Roman is the real winner I think, now he gets to be a rich a$$hole living a life of leisure without having to deal with the stress of the job.
A puppet CEO at the top of the mountain is basically the pinnacle for someone in Tom's position, even if it ultimately amounts to being the Mattson meatshield it's the biggest win he could ever hope for.

Agree on Roman being the best off once the dust settles and he gets over his dads death. He was the only one all in on starting a company separate from WayStar, he never wanted back in. Now he went from rich to richer and can do whatever he wants without the burden, Shiv's still caught in the web and the only thing Ken's ever wanted is gone.

I guess we could say connor won. they got logan's house, they added billions to their net worth with the gojo deal. connor is an ambassador to slovenia. but willa gets to stay in NYC living in logan's mansion mostly alone. I hope this dude's prenup is air tight.
Remember though, someone pointed out that the neo-nazi's (AEN-announced) win was looking like it might get overturned, so they'd have all this time to spend together, and both Connor and Willa were looking sick.

Seems like the show was alluding to the idea that WI ends up being counted for Jimenez and not Mencken without directly having it happen.

Connor just needs to let Willa write her shytty plays and live in opulence, and they'll be fine. He'll eventually worm his way into some government position he doesn't deserve.

Tom should have taken his own advise to Greg about Information being like Wine. Lukas told him not to tell anyone he was picking him and he went ant told Greg right away.
He didn’t tell Greg about being picked for CEO though. At that point Greg was asking if Tom would get to keep his current job.
