Why would Troy vote against Kim?
Because she is in charge.
Works both ways.

>Even if they weren't clued

>going on.

They know Kim's ideas make a lot of sense, so they are going along. In charge? It's never that clear cut.

>A quote from Kim on Episode

Because Kim needed to get all the women on board to eliminate the guys and Sab was the one present at the time. You never promise someone anything less than F3 unless you are Alex Bell.

>Just this last episode Kim said

>That is stating very clearly

She said that to Kat but is it what she really thinks? Was it just a way to set the stage to give a spot to Alicia? Kim also said that Alicia and Chelsea were the two she wanted to be with the most so there was deception in her words. I'm thinking she is saying what everyone needs to hear, not what she is thinking.

There are plenty of goats for Kim. Keep the ones you trust.

Even if nothing had been shown, Troy's vote for Christina would have led the audience to think Tarzan told him to do so. Nothing in that scene was absolutely necessary.

>I can agree that Kat probably

But Kat thinks she is running the show, that her only problem is that no one sees it: "I am getting tired that people keep on telling me what to do because, you know, no one thinks I am the one running the show. Everyone thinks that Kim is, like I can't make a decision for myself? What is this? It’s frustrating for me."

>But I think Alicia would love

Voting out Sab would satisfy Alicia's need to make a move and, if it doesn't, then there's still Chelsea.

But the previews usually relate to what happens in the episode. Note that the previews are already giving us two boot options: Kat and Sab. Misdirection usually plays up one alternate angle, not two. A predictable boot would be either Tarzan or Christina so they'd just need to involve one of Kat or Sab in order to blur the situation, not both.
