In Borneo, a challenge wasn't shown. Tina's strategic side was mostly hidden so we saw that a nice mom could win. In Tocantins,the tug-of-war wasn't shown. A tie between Adam and Yul wasn't shown. Earl's African American alliance wasn't shown nor was Gary being called co-leader along with Sylvia. So, I'm not surprised that this wasn't shown...if it happened.

Why wasn't Sash shown earlier? We weren't supposed to like him. If he had been shown, we could have grown to like him and it would have been very difficult to accept Fabio's win. Take Samoa: There, the strategist was Russell while the young good looking kid was Brett. Since Brett didn't win and we weren't supposed to like his alliance, Brett was hidden. Since Heroes vs Villains had to be promoted, we saw the RussHole show.

In comparing Sash to Brian, I see two huge differences.

The first one is timing. Brian got his whole alliance to the F5 so, even if he hurt them it was explainable. It was strategy. Sash, for no good reason to his alliance, dragged Marty along because it suited him. Then, to the surprise of many, he completely turned his back on Brenda. That wasn't seen as strategy but as disloyalty. Much like Paschal saw John's vote against Gabe.

Then, Brian had a goat in Clay. Fabio did very little during the game before the last challenges but he was always liked. Sash would have needed Nay and Kelly.

ETA: As for Sash's jury speach, he seem to plagiarize it from Todd but he didn't show the emotions that the China winner did.
