There’s a lot of ways this votecouldgo, and the players discuss some options early.

But here’s the thing: Dani is lying to him.

Nicole is lying to him.

Everyone in the Committee is lying to him.

I feel like her gameplay is a microcosm of the larger trend of the season.

But she insists she’s beingforcedto vote him out because it’s what her alliance wants.

And sure, that’s true, the Committee wants him out.

But she has an option!

She could go to David, Kevin, and Da’Vonne and go for the tie.

She could absolutely go against her alliance and make a bold move to keep Ian around.

Again, this is falling into a pattern.

It’s not particularly surprising, but his exit interview is interesting.

That actually makes Ian feel better.
