That was my thought as well but then wifey reminded me that she was trying to rally votes against Mike, who had an idol. So there's no way she would've been able to do that without revealing that she could take his idol.
except that in new age survivor, what's to stop her from stealing his idol, then telling everyone that she's voting for Mike and using the idol for herself right there at tribal council?
Right now the player in the best position to make the final three with a chance to win is Lindsay. She's a challenge beast and also has a immunity idol.
I go back and forth on whether Mary Anne can win this game. She seems really likeable and she's pretty good at speeches. Her gameplay so far however can best be described as irrelevant. She sucks in challenges and she's little help in strategy. Previews seem to indicate that she will finally try something next week, we'll see how that goes for her.
Mike will win if he makes final three, which is why he won't make final three (or four). He's not as good of a strategic player as Omer, but he's not just liked by everyone out there, most of them love the guy, not to mention Omer has one big weakness.
Omer has played a better game than anyone strategy wise but he's been so sneaky about it that the only people who realize it are the audience watching at home. Sounds like the posse might be coming for him next week (or some of them anyway) which I think could actually be a good thing for his game (if he survives it). Hard to win the game as a great strategy player when nobody views you as a threat the entire time (Sandra did it twice, so not impossible)
Romeo will make the final three because he has no shot of winning
Jonathan might be the most unique situation survivor has ever had. He was absolutely dominant in pre merge challenges. He somehow survived past the first couple of votes. He hasn't been that dominant in post merge challenges because Survivor screws over the bigger men with the endless stream of challenges where you have to stand on a little ledge and do something. So he's kind of coasting on his pre merge excellence so I'm not sure he can win just based on that. However, he could make a pretty good argument that it takes a lot of skill to be a perceived threat the entire time, to have people vote for you in most of the tribals, and to still be sitting in the final 3.
So if you're Lindsay or Omer, who do you take to final 3? Lindsay cannot take Jonathan or Mike and still win. Omer just has to avoid Mike and I think Mary Anne. Omer's has played such a behind the scenes game that he can't afford to take someone else with him who has also played a low key game but is more liked and better with words. I think if I were Omer I'd take Romeo and Jonathan and if I were Lindsay I'd take Romeo and Mary Anne.
