Jonathans a smart player though, and hes not about to test fate.
He immediately goes about planning out numbers so that even if he is on the block hell be safe.
Thats a perfect person for Jonathan to hitch his ride to and get to the end.

As Lolo dances around the idea of an alliance, Joey immediately shuts it down.
Now, to be fair, he doesnt understand that Lolo is about to pitch him.
Rather, hes musing on his game philosophy in general, which is I dont believe in alliances.
Does he know what game hes playing?
I hate that word, he says, surely confirming that he wont be making it to the end.
Theres a whole lot of scrambling early on here.
But as Lochte struggles to hit his few remaining blocks, Jonathan makes a comeback.
It actually comes down to the wire, but Lochte gets the win.
He still has to nominate two people, meaning there will be three total up for eviction.
The question is, will his plan with Jonathan work?
Can they truly coordinate to see to it they stay safe?
Hes suddenly got the power to do whatever he wants, and hes crumbling under the pressure.
He doesnt seem to have any capability to think ahead, so Jonathan does it for him.
He doesnt want to shoot Lochtes idea down, but he needs to be the one in control.
When Kandi approaches Lochte about who hes thinking of nominating, he says he knows but cant say.
What she doesnt know is that shes simply readingwaytoo much into Lochtes inability to play this game.
I mean, he cant even get Dinas name right and shes the one he wants on the block!
Hekind ofknows who his alliance is, but hes mostly listening to Jonathan.
Because hes only listening to Jonathan, he ends up deciding that Dina can stay.
That means Dina is safe, but it also means that Tamar and Kandi get a big surprise.
They thought Dina was on the block, so now they know something is up.
Tamar, in particular, sees that Jonathans influence is all over this move.
It might not be long before they implode, and then the game will really be on.
