Good call, it went the way you predicted.
Well, their “grand plan” is now out in the open.
I’m trying to shake some brain cells here but, IIRC, only a very few challenges have been thrown for a “grand plan” and every time it turned out poorly for those that did it.
Challenge-throwing has a very poor record (Sook Jai getting Pagonged after throwing a challenge, Burton getting kicked out after his very own thrown challenge, everyone except Ozzy on the Hispanic tribe on Cook Islands getting voted out quickly after they threw the challenge to get rid of Billy). Etc. The one time it worked very well was when Boran (Africa), led by Ethan, threw the challenge to get rid of Silas and Ethan went on to win the game.
Fun Survivor fact: Burton of Pearl Islands remains the only non-All Star in Survivor history to have been voted out twice. (And he was BLINDSIDED! NICE! NOW THAT’S HOW YOU VOTE SOMEBODY OUT! both times).
