Male solidarity had nothing to do with Manono going to TC. Each thought someone else was at risk. Anyone continuing to harp on their decision to go to TC is still drinking from EPMB kool-aid.

Tribal switch immediately after that TC minimized the effect GREATLY. There are several reasons the men are at risk...all of which rank higher than that TC.

1) Minutes into the game separating the tribes by gender with Colton in the cast IMMEDIATELY put the men behind 8 - 10.

2) Production's decision forcing the finder of the HII to give it to the other tribe (ultimately in Colton's lap) fragmented Manono.

3) Finally the blowup between Jonas and Tarzan prevented even the slightest of chance for unity among the men.

Right from the word go you got the feeling this would not be a season for the men. I agree the inevitable is compounded by the fact some are a 60+ irratating old goat, a clueless zombie dwarf, an all-muscle, no-brains, and an immature gay racist. It's a shame for the guys who aren't any of those, but sometimes that's just the way the casting goes.
