Reynold comes across as someone who would, in a game of draw poker, get four initial deal cards on a royal flush and throw all but the ace away because the others were just messing up his chance of having high pair.

But since he was voting against Michael I think it was planned: He wanted to flush an idol and he got an idol. I think Andra's talk with Eddie was much worse: She practically told them they weren't voting against him and Reynold so she almost booted herself right out of the game.

Been lurking for years, never posted before, but I couldn't stay out of this discussion...I thought Andrea's conversation with Eddie saved her butt. If she doesn't freak out the way she did, they would have voted for Malcolm, Phillip would have given the same speech, and Malcolm still would have played Reynold's idol for himself (possibly my favorite occurrence in Survivor history, btw - "I'm going to talk the guy I just voted for into playing his idol for me, even though I have one in my pocket.") and Andrea would have been toast. PR with Reynold will definitely have to be concern for Malcolm when he is forced to play his idol - but at least he's still alive, and still has the idol! He's going to have to come clean to Reynold eventually... could he possibly tell him he didn't bring his idol to tribal, and now that Reynold proved himself, Malcolm's ready to consider his idol shared between the three of them?

They didn't know who had the idol. That really was meant to flush an idol that Malcolm would have had. He's lucky that Reynold was dumb enough to give his up. Anyway, it doesn't take a genius to come up with a good bluff.

LAST EDITED ON 04-10-13 AT 09:23 PM (EST)Brilliant? He panicked, thinking he was getting the votes. That face wasn't the face of a guy who just thought he made a great move. He wasted an idol by falling for Phillip's deception. It's possible that Malcolm didn't even bring his idol so he had to beg for Reynold's. What if he uses his own idol next time? He'll have Reynold and Eddie gunning for him after that.
Right now, I see the alliance voting for Malcolm, he uses his idol and gets rid of Andrea but then Reynold turns on him and Malcolm leaves at the next TC with a unanimous vote against him.

Ok then, tell me this: What if Reynold is a little more paranoid and he refuses to give it to Malcolm, would Malcolm then stand up and play his own? He'd be seen as such a traitor that the next episode would see 9 votes against him.

My original point was that Malcolm saw an opportunity to conceal the fact that he has an idol by convincing Reynold to give him his idol, and that was brilliant. And it worked.Reynold's idol at that point was going to be played anyway, he got Reynold to give it to him. Malcolm's idol is now his secret weapon. He put it together during Tribal that things weren't going as planned, as evidenced by his conforming to the split vote scheme with his vote. Even when things aren't going as planned he has his head n the game. Going forward now, yeah, he has to scramble. Classic Survivor. If you are in the position of having everyone vote against you but you can play an idol and boot whomever you want, what's the best play? Knock out the glue of the controlling alliance.

Reynold was already going to waste the idol. I don't think he misread Phillip, Phillip is a blabber mouth and was still blabbing the original plan.

Well, she doesn't have the numbers on the jury, at least as things stand now. If Dawn is in the F3 and Malcolm and Reynold aren't, there are three votes (with Mike) that aren't currently leaning her way. If Malcolm is in F3 and Reynold isn't, He's only poisoned the waters with that one person. So far.So far the prospects are that there will be more Dawn haters on the jury than Malcolm haters. Still too early to count jury votes, but not too early to spot a trend. Spec: Who (between Dawn and Malcolm), would Phil vote for at F3? Both have been sworn into in his Stealth-R-Us club, and both have been given secret agent names. He may be leaning toward Dawn after that last TC (if he understood or even perceived the undercurrents, and IMO that is doubtful, Phil is not a specialist in subtlety). He may have to confer with his dead Indian ancestors. Watch for the vulture feather headdress to appear.

Welcome aboard. I see this is a great way to get more participation. Malcolm was sure that everyone was voting against him but Phillip and the others were voting against Michael. That is the very definition of misreading a situation. Yes, the idol was still going to waste but Phillip wanted to flush an idol that Malcolm could have had. He would have flushed both idols if Reynold wasn't so dumb. What Phillip did accomplish was to unveil Malcolm's duplicity so that's still something. Like I said above, it doesn't take a genius to come up with a bluff. Any poker player knows how.

I rewatched the seen a bunch of times and Malcoms words as he voted Reynold. I agree with you that Philip did the better job in this case then Malcom did. Malcom was in self preservation mode and didn't want to burn his own idle. Your read on Philip is a good one and thanks for pointing that out.

But the question is were his words early this season when he said "I might as well keep playing the idles because I am so good at finding them" foreshadowing him going right back out and finding it again? Then we would be back to the same 2 idles in the game and fireworks on the way. Dawn Andrea and Philip are all on the verge of panic mode and a mistake is on the horizon methinks.

They don't necessarily have to rehide this one. Although it would probably be monumentally stupid (like the rest of this misbegotten season), what's to prevent Malcolm from playing his idol for Reynold in order to f--- somebody else over? I'd believe that or anything else out of this bunch of wackjobs.

Is there a rule about how many idols one may have? If they replace one and Malcolm finds it, he'll be able to keep one in each pocket, thereby giving the illusion that he grew a pair. Then he might have the fortitude to deal with the mess he made.

It's not balls Malcolm lacks. It's brains. He's got enough air in his head to power a Cat 5 hurricane for a week. He's not quite as dumb as Reynold and Eddie, but he's close. How in hell he ever thought up that idol move I'll never figure out, because he ain't no brain surgeon, that's for damn sure.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING A PLACE WHERE I CAN COME AND READ DISCUSSIONS OF THE GAME WITHOUT GETTING SPOILED. CANT SAY THIS ENOUGH! THANKS EVERYONE! this season is getting better,eventhough brandon should have never been there. IMO he takes away much more from the strategy than he brings in entertainment. i have been re-watching cochran's season and he is TV gold. Brandon is TV crap forsure. btw, what the heck did brenda do to CBS, i mean they must really hate the girl. she wins immunity and she doesnt even get nominated for sprint player of the week???!!
