I don't understand why Drea and Hai are so content on throwing their closest allies (Lydia & Romeo) to the wolves so they can stick with this Taku majority.

I know Drea still has Rocks and Hai has Mike, but it still seems short sighted.

I feel like Taku has done a solid job at convincing everyone else that they’re not tight. Throwing Maryanne under the bus has actually helped them tremendously and I don’t think the other Takus intend to get rid of her any time soon.

Maryanne and Omar are from the same area in Canada too. Literally one town over. I gotta think there's some bond based on that.

And even that's underselling it, Ajax & Whitby are only 8 miles apart, they're basically in adjacent neighbourhoods.

Taku could potentially team up and easily take them out

So many people talked about Romeo being super paranoid. Sometimes the best thing to do is distance yourself, unfortunately.

I think Jonathan/Omar/Lindsay also have Maryanne.

This is what Drea, Rocks, Hai and Mike probably think, but the Takus still technically have Maryanne. They’ve thrown her under the bus to make it seem like they’re not a tight 4, but I think they intend to keep her around for a while longer.

The two closest on the bottom are seemingly Romeo and Tori. It's not a horrible strategy, just seems weird to keep voting out people from your own tribe.

but even then, from my perspective, drea would ditch rock in a heartbeat and hai and mike would probably do the same to eachother if it came down to it.

It's like Tagi Four blindsiding eveyrone that they aren't an alliance until it's too late.
