Numbers

As gameplans go, it's a simple one. Make sure your alliance is solid, and make sure your alliance has more people than the other one when the merge hits. But apparently the subtle nuances of that scheme are too complex for the men on Survivor to grasp. The women of Yasur gave them a gift when they saved Rory's butt. So do the men capitalize on it by ousting a woman and giving the men the numerical advantage? No. For some reason left, perhaps, on the cutting room floor, the guys decided that John-- who had never expressed any disloyal notions that we know of, and who claimed in his final words that he would have stuck with the men to the end-- was a sufficient threat to warrant leaving themselves even-up with the women. I don't get it. They all questioned the women's loyalty, and John was a sure thing. When you've got someone in your pocket, you don't vote him out while viable alternatives exist. Utter stupidity. But then, there's only been one rocket scientist on Survivor-- and he lost.

You don't consider voting for Chad as expressing a disloyal notion?
