"you force the 3 to 3 tie, and now you have a tie-breaker between Cirie and Tracy, in which I would take Tracy 7 times out of 10."

I see there is still confusion about tie-breakers. The fire challenge only happens at F4 where the purple rock can't be used. In a tribe of 6, we still have to consider that a tie would be handled this way:

1- A revote
2- If the vote is still tied, the 2 vote-getters become immune and the 4 voters have to pick rocks.

That's how a final 6 tie in Palau would have been decided and we have had no indication that it has changed since. Forcing a tie at 6 is a bad idea. It shows your hand if you change your vote or it exposes you to the purple rock of death.

That being said, I always liked Ami more as a person than a player. I liked her calm and her strength in Vanuatu where she should have been even more determined instead of trying to appease Scout by voting out Eliza.

In Micronesia, she wound up on the wrong side of the tribe divide but it wasn't that evident at first. She missed her chance well before the Tracy vote. She should have hopped on the couples' alliance immediately when Ozzy wanted Eliza out instead of Yau Man. That would have squeezed out Cirie and given Ami more latitude in moving against Ozzy at the right time, i.e. after merge.

Her exit was touching, revealing the softer side of Ami. It concluded a nice story that was the editors way to repay a debt to her. Ami was used as the Vanuatu "Villain" when all she did was try to lead her alliance to the end. Just like any male leader. The problem was that Ami made for a more natural villain than the really devious one; Scout. Look at Vanuatu again and you'll realize that, from day 1, Scout manipulated events to throw discord in the tribe. It started immediately on the trek to the camp.

This time, the editors gave us the opportunity to hear Ami expressing her plans, showing she knows how to play this game and we heard her compassion for the fans when she said the fan-bashing had to stop. A much nicer edit for one of the serie's Favorite "Villains".

You see, being at the bottom of the popularity pole is a good thing, it means the fans react to a character.

PS: Fact = Tina decided to oust Mitchell.
