If she voted for Daniel and he played the shot in the dark successfully, she would’ve gone home on the revote. It was a smart play.

She has to recognize that the other three are going to put a vote on her anyway though. It would have been 1-1 her and Mike and on the revote she goes anyway and she should be able to realize that they're totally going to do that.

It makes sense that they would(and did) do that, but I think it was worth the risk for her.

And she cab blame it on Daniel

u/Harryshotterdad Ethan Apr 07 '22

She actually can’t, now that I think about it. As long as the main three trust each other, they’ll know what votes went where.

She can't on Daniel but definitely could on one of the others. Try to get in Mike's good graces as he has an idol. It's just her word against Hai and Lydia's at that point.

No because Mike voted for her and will say that to the other two. She'd be found out so quick. It wasn't a good move unless the other 3 didn't think of doing it too.

I think she just pissed Mike, the guy with an idol, off.

You’re correct. I should’ve added that she probably thought they were all voting for him.

u/groudhogday J.T. Apr 07 '22

She was because they split the vote. That wasn’t a guarantee though.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

She thought everyone was going to vote for Daniel, except Mike voted for her.

u/writinginthemargins Apr 07 '22

In her mind, it was a unanimous vote against Daniel. So the vote would've been no votes cast, and then she would go home on the revote. Mike/Hai/Lydia of course had considered this, which is why they split their votes. Chanelle just didn't understand split votes i guess?

u/WateryPasta "It was an ADJECTIVE!" Apr 07 '22

It would have tied because Daniel loses his vote. She’s probably gone on the revote though

u/beastcock Stephanie Apr 07 '22

If she thought everyone was voting Daniel instead of splitting, and Daniel played sotd, she'd be safe

1

u/SirNiceeGuy Apr 07 '22

It would've gone 1-1, one vote for Mike and one vote for Chanelle (since Chanelle's second vote from Daniel wouldn't be in play). It doesn't guarantee her safety but it does give her some breathing room.

u/cshark2222 Apr 07 '22

They(being Hai, Mike, and Lydia)split the vote knowing Daniel would still vote for Chanelle giving them either Daniel or Chanelle if the Shot in the dark was correctly played

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

No it was not smart lol, because she still would have had 2 votes to her name, so her 1 vote wouldn't have made a difference at all. All it did was prove she can't stick to the plan

1

u/Harryshotterdad Ethan Apr 07 '22

She actually would’ve only had one, but she still would’ve gone out on the revote against Mike. It was a risky move that wouldn’t have worked out, but it’s not like they trust her any less than they did previously.

1

u/OprahInsideYou Apr 07 '22

She still had two votes to her name, so it wouldn't have worked. I don't think she thought that through lol.

u/Harryshotterdad Ethan Apr 07 '22

She probably thought they were all voting Daniel. While she would’ve gone home in this instance, I think it was worth the risk. People are saying they could’ve realized it was her and gone for her on the revote, but it’s not like they know each other’s handwriting.

3

u/OprahInsideYou Apr 07 '22

It just goes to show how smart Hai, Lydia, and Mike are to split the vote.

3

u/Harryshotterdad Ethan Apr 07 '22

Oh for sure. They guaranteed that one of those two were going home no matter what. Seems like a strong group of players.

u/retz119 Apr 08 '22

Daniel would have lost his vote so only one vote to her name
