This, I'd agree with.

It also makes his vote for Parvarti unecessary. He votes Russell, Russell votes Parvarti, Russell plays the idol, and Parvati goes home.

Yeah, you're right on this one. And the fact that he already fell victim to a vote split once was probably in the back of his mind.

Except, as Rob said, if Parvarti plays the idol (which was the reason for the vote split strategy), it puts all the control in the hands of Parvarti/Russell/Danielle. Which, unfortunately for Tyson, is exactly what happened.
