The thing about David, that gives me hope, is that Jiffy has been all over him in the tweets. David is the one that I would have be the leader, every season we need to have a "David"....blah, blah, blah. And, let's face it, he's a genius lawyer. He makes a living out of thinking of alternatives. At the position that they are going into the merge, and with Matt looking like he's going to re-join the Ome's, he has to come up with a way to buy them all more time....this is a way to do it, imo. I don't even know if David would be the one to appeal to Rob...maybe they would have Mike do it...or someone else. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised for David to rationally come up with a plan to save them all. He'll discuss it with all of the Zaps and get them all on board.

The thing that they may underestimate is Rob. He could say they are going along with them and spill it all to Matt, to make him get in line...who knows, what and how they'll react.

Dabo also has a point. I was thinking if they did agree to take Matt out, that perhaps it could be business as usual next week, Omes vs. Zaps....I don't know. It seems like it will be more complicated, especially with the votes. There are MANY possibilities. I wouldn't even be surprised if Natalie wins the IC, that Rob could possibly talk her into giving it to Grant before the vote is read...that could be supposedly jaw dropping. As none of the Zaps would likely target Nat, while they would all possibly target Grant...I don't know.

I do like the idea that they will pull what they did with Kristina, on Ralph as well. Just to make him play it, when in actuality the only vote he may get is Phillip's...Rob could perhaps tell Phillip, Matt and Andrea to all vote Ralph, so he'd play the idol....then post TC, they'd have Matt and Ralph's idol out.

I agree that they will most likely want to say they are voting for Ralph, for him to play the idol, but it WILL be someone else that ends up getting the boot....either Mike, or Matt. Whoever doesn't have the II.

ETA: I am positive that Rob is not on board with Matt coming back into the fold. All of those insider clips of him questioning Matt are hidden from the public in that they have not made the show. He's clear about Matt....he was born at night, but not last night. Rob knows that Matt is playing an "end game"....he's likable, he's great in challenges, he's clearly a huge threat to Rob. He can deal with him now, when he's got everyone in the merge that he could use...numbers, OR, he can deal with him later, when he's even more dangerous. What would you do, if you were Rob?
