It is amazing what even a mediocre night of sleep can do for you. I woke up feeling groggy and immediately went to sit in the sun to think.
How can I come up with a plan that covers all our asses when Tomas has no idol and Renee wants us to split our votes so that their 4 votes overpower us once Sam and Chris play their idols?
Then it hit me!
If everyone plays their idols tonight, it won't matter if we split the votes - but - we would have to put some on Renee.
Renee is trying to get us to play our idols on her so that she may take one of us out the same way she did Hash. So, let us leave her sitting open, because if she wasn't the mole of Kwele, Sam; C.B. and Sagar would still avoid voting her out. Why? Because if they successfully vote an Mbochi out, the numbers are tied 4 - 4 and there is a chance she would swing back to them. It is logically in their best interest to vote for an Mbochi.
Now, if I tell Renee that I am playing my idol on Tomas because he hasn't got one and they know it, that would leave me a sitting duck in their eyes. there is no way they would not all put their votes on me, the one they deem the biggest threat in hopes of a Hash-like blindside.
The thing is, I am not playing my idol on Tomas. I am playing it on myself. Their votes will be null and void. All we would have to do is put a vote or 2 on Renee and she goes without a revote.
So, our vote would be 2 - Sam, 1 - CB, 2 - Renee.
This works out, if they suspect something is up with me playing an idol for Tomas and split the vote 2 - Tomas; 2 - me, because it becomes a 2 -2 tie between Renee and Tomas and we go to a revote, where we send Renee packing.
This way, if Sam and C.B. either play their idols or play one on Renee in case, they take the hit and go home.
Unless it is CB who plays his idol on Renee. The plan needs a few kinks worked out, but that is what a group strategy talk with the boys is for...
