several people got caught up in a "Malcolm moment" last night, I think. (Spoils)
Hey, I'll play my idol on someone not getting a vote.
Hey, I'LL play MY idol on the other guy, who isn't getting a vote...hence the other tribe talking about "the other one".
Hey, I'll flip and take myself from 3rd in the pecking order down to 6th...just so I can look cool on TV when my former tribe has no idea it's coming.
Too many players play for TV and not for the game. All of those moves were wicked stupid and did nothing other than make for an exciting tribal council.
The fact that it worked out for them kinda pisses me off a little, because I hate when terrible game play actually gets rewarded.
That being said...you have to go back to Christy in the Amazon to see someone fuck up the swing vote slot so badly.
