To answer your question(s), if Alejandro had stuck with Tyler, the  two would be considered a pair. Plus, Duncan came back who is a giant meatshield to Alejandro. If it came down to it, would you rather have Tyler, who was eliminated early in Island, as a meatshield or Duncan, somebody that made it far in Island and who was a finalist in Action?

Yes, it is not confirmed that Cameron did not vote for Scott, but we don't know where Lightning's vote went. I am going off the premise that Scott voted for Lightning, Lightning voted for Zoey, and Cameron and Zoey voted for Scott. Makes no sense why Lightning would vote for Zoey, but also makes no sense why Lightning would vote for Scott either.

True with the Justin thing, but Duncan was asked and he accepted. Gotta keep those bases covered.

The term I was looking for with Heather being the "tiebreaker" between Gwen and Courtney was the swing vote. Could not figure out until now. In a way, she was a tiebreaker since whoever had Heather's vote was essentially safe (had Duncan not threw a dingo at Cody)

In a way, I agree with you that it was dumb, but I never said that the strategic elements had to be smart.
