Exactly. People WAY too often jump into the game thinking, "OK, WE MUST BOOT OFF ALL MAJOR THREATS EARLY." That's just stupid. If you boot off a strong challenge player in, like, the first two or even three episodes, you're only weakening your tribe and will cause more tribal councils, thus depleting your potential post-merge numbers. Do not even think of eliminating "threats" until AT LEAST the fourth challenge. The absolute most important thing, first and foremost, is winning challenges so that A) You don't have to lose a member, and B) You can spend more time organizing and bonding your alliance. Heck, even villains like Russell Hantz would do EVERYTHING they could to win a challenge, because winning is far more important than eliminating a target. You certainly don't throw your challenge to get rid of even a threat like Russell, and you don't give up immunity to vote off a black guy just because you're a racist, like Colton.
