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?
