>"Arrogant statements, but Brenda would have no knowledge of them. I meant I didn't see Marty acting arrogant around HER, justifying her statements."

Two things wrong with this:

- We have no way of knowing what Brenda heard in the 2 days they spent together since we only saw 2 minutes. She didn't hear those statements but she must have heard something or you believe she is psychic.

Hello!

- This isn't reality but Storytelling. If you hear someone being arrogant and then someone calls him arrogant then you have to believe that the "writer" (the editor) wants us to see that person as arrogant.

And true statements can be arrogant nonetheless. Anyway, I doubt that Tyrone would have agreed that Marty had total control of him.

>"This omits a HUGE fact. The fact that of course Jane would have told her allies that Marty had the HII."

But this omits the fact that Jane would only have told because Marty left her outside his little gang. He was dumb to let two outsiders hang like that.

We've seen that most of the successful use of the idol came when it was a surprise: Amanda, Russell both for himself and giving it to Parvati and then Parvati giving to Jerri. I think only Yau Man used it successfully when people knew he had it. When you know where it is it, is easier to flush. We'll see how this turns out but I would have told only the person I thought could flip like Yul did and I certainly would have consulted Jill before revealing it. Did you see her frustrations in the insider clip? Revealing the idol puts the target on HER. What if she flips on Marty?!! I doubt it but it could have happened if she was more independant.
