FloPo, this caught my eye too, and I thought the same thing when I first saw this -- i.e., is this a bad sign for Denise.But after last night I'm feeling better because the edit seemed to favor Denise over Malcolm. Malcolm was already scheming to throw Denise under the bus on reward, then he wouldn't give Denise the HII (a key moment), and he sure didn't seem very sympathetic about her injury (compare to Mike and Lisa, who were rallying around her and praying for her to get better). So seems to me that she'd be totally justified in not taking Malcolm.
The other thing that gave me hope is that everyone at Ponderosa is talking about how if Denise wins immunity, her best move is to vote out Malcolm. So I don't think it'll backfire against her....then again, they could call her a hypocrite and say she was the one who talked about taking the most deserving to the end, etc.
Jeff could be referring to Lisa and Mike here too. E.g., they could have taken Abi to the end and that would have won them respect from the jury. Idk, maybe I'm just seeing things through my "hope Denise wins" lens. I did feel like we were hit over the head with the "Denise is a slam dunk to win" last night, which worried me, but maybe it's just her doubt.
