At least I got to stare at her uncomfortably for 3-4 hours a week. Win-win, other than for Dee of course.

So I am a Survivor newbie but my wife loves the show. I am hooked. Pretty freakin fun. Curious the boards' thoughts on Rizo's play last night by not telling Ozzy. I get the thought process. He finds out that Ozzy and Cirie have a pact, he's hurt and wants to become Cirie's ride or die. But, Cirie ain't gonna be happy here. In my opinion, the smarter play would have been to work to get Joe out. He had an opportunity to get Ozzy to play the idol and get that out of the way while eliminating a big threat. Knocks out 2 birds in one night that way. Get Jonathan, Aubry, and Joe to think they are blindsiding Ozzy, tell Ozzy to play the idol, Rizo and Ozzy vote Joe. Gets an idol off the table, Joe is gone, Cirie is happy, and Rizo then has the opportunity next week or the week after to focus on Ozzy and partner up with Jonathan or Tiff or someone to start working to get the other threats out. I get wanting to get Ozzy out given his connection to Cirie and his ability in challenges, but I think there could have been more opportunity long term with blindsiding Joe, who can't strategize or keep his mouth shut to save his life.

I think Rizzo had 2 options:

Tell Ozzie and let him know he was voting against him as a smoke screen so they can continue to work together in secret and let Ozzie pick the target. Then he continues to be a 3rd wheel with an idol and a chance to make a big move and sit next to either Ozzy/Cirie at end.

Keep his mouth shut, vote against Ozzie and become Cirie's #1. Try to cut her at 5 and be the king/queen slayer and have a real chance to win.

I would see his path as getting out Devens, Jonathan, Cirie, and sit next to some combination of Joe, Aubrey, Tiff. I think the path forward with Ozzy was too narrow for him. Getting ozzy and cirie both out before fire would be difficult IMO and Rizzo really needs both of them on jury to sell his game.

I don't know why Cirie was allowed two votes at the second vote.
She was allowed two votes during to first round, sure. Is there a rule that says you keep "playing it" as long as the voting ends?

I guess if you activate two votes, you keep two votes that tribal. Otherwise using it on an odd-numbered group is pretty weak, kinda?

I thought if she couldn't use it on a tie round, Jonathan might flip to get Cirie out. But since she could use it twice, it was appropriately powerful to swing the votes.

I thought about that too, but it's sort of like having an idol. It doesn't go away when you have to vote again.

On the Pod has Spoken Emily kind of talks about it but even then I think she still had confusion because I don't think production explained it well
