forced to play it??? — forced???
Tony will have to be forced NOT to play it.
Right now it’s burning a hole in his bag of tricks and he is just dying to whip it out.
I think he wants people to vote for him now and hopes they do and might even dare the others to do so just so he can whip it out and play it.
While not as smart or evil as Russell, Tony’s mouth and ego will lose him the game.
