Exactly!

I feel like I've been talking to myself all day.

The only difference is that I think Howie will gun for George and Dani, not James and Dani, if he wins HOH. If Janelle wins HOH, CT can talk her into anything they want. Most likely, Dani and James, since that is who Will said should be nominated next. They'd dump James after convincing Howie and Janelle that James is a traitor. Chicken George would vote out James over Dani.

Then you'd have CT, Janelle, Howie, Dani, and CG left in the game. Just how Will wanted it to be. He'd try to cut Howie next, trying to make up to Dani for cutting James. Either that, or cut Dani as the bigger threat to win it all. Doesn't matter at that point which one goes. Janelle will never jump to Dani and CG against CT, and Dani will never jump to Janelle. They'll still be after each other, leaving CG in final 3 with CT. Even *I* could beat CG in an endurance final 3 competition, but my bet is that Boogie wins it, Will throws it, CG gets booted, Will wins AGAIN, and splits the money with Boogie.

This route is much easier for CT than if they cut Howie now, tick off all their potential Jury votes, and have to compete against Erika/Dani/James in final 5.
