This season is actually kind of awesome. Had that great Rome boot episode, a few other complete blindsides, and then Operation Italy, which was still having ramifications into the vote at 5. Sam and Genevieve almost backed into a plan that could have at the very least caused vote drama. They had Teeny, Rachel, and Sue, as Teeny said, spun all around.

Sam is over here trying to blow up Genevieve's game by outing her idol as fake, but because of how great Operation Italy was the three of them are scared that he is lying, that the idol is real, and they are just trying to get them to put votes on her so she can use the idol and they'll both be safe. The lies were so good they couldn't believe anything they said.

Meanwhile, Sam and Genevieve vote for each other. If they followed through with the plan they didn't know they were doing they could have thrown 2 votes on Teeny. Pretty sure that still ends with Genevieve going home on a 2-2-1 revote, but that could have been some nice drama. Instead Sam was focused on getting out someone he thinks he can't beat in the finals, which is the smart move. His best chance of winning is if Teeny and Sue are sitting next to him and I think he is self aware enough to realize it.

Have to think the finals will include both Rachel and Sam. I have 0 confidence Teeny or Sue win final immunity, which means one of Rachel or Sam is in the final 3. Have to imagine either of them would beat Teeny or Sue in making fire, too. So the only way we'd get both Teeny and Sue in finals is if Rachel or Sam decide their best route to winning is to make the other to go fire against them.

Sam would need to think he is losing if Rachel makes it to the final 3 anyway, so he'd rather try to take her out. Can't beat her if she is there, so might as well go down trying to get her out.

I don't see Rachel thinking she needs to make the same decision.
