Next up, we have FLOP MOVE OF THE SEASON! The nominees are...
TOFU THROWING HIS VOTE – While not the most active player in the game, Tofu wanted to avoid any additional blood on his hands, choosing to throw a vote on Ess in order to not upset any of his close allies. As a result, Tofu’s strongest relationship, Jason, was sent home, when a tie could have resulted in someone on the other side either flipping to send Ess home, or someone going home via a rock draw.
WILLIE AND BRENDAN CHANGING THE VOTE – After the Jason tribal, the Estoy- alliance seemed to be coming to an end. The original plan was to vote Vlad, but with literally MINUTES left, Brendan and Willie spearheaded the move to change the vote onto Nathan. This vote change was done without confirming that everyone was online, and Brendan and Willie both had prior knowledge that Krista was at work. As a result, Krista was sent home 5-4-1-1, with both Brendan and Willie losing one of their closest allies. The worst part of this, arguably, is had this vote switch not happened, the vote would have tied, and they could have had a shot at going to rocks.
DANIEL’S IDOL MISPLAY – Although Daniel played a pretty remarkable game going from an expected pre-swap boot to being just shy at sitting at a final tribal council he potentially could have won, Daniel had hiccups along the way. Daniel had a pulse on the game and a lot of the relationships that were taking place, but he failed to control his paranoia, resulting in him risking it and playing his idol in a 4-4 vote, with 0 votes cast against him. Had Daniel entered the finale with an idol, there is a very strong chance he sits here today.
