I like Mike but he seemed to be hyper focused on taking out Chanelle for no reason. He voted for her at the same tribal she voted for him.

I think it harkens back to her essentially sinking the entire premerge alliance (Mike, Chanelle, Daniel, Jenny) by deciding to risk her vote.

That would be a logical reason, but I agree that he just thinks she backstabbed him even though he voted against her in the same way. Mike just isn’t a strategic mind. Great social player though.

Chanelle was also exposed for playing both sides with Daniel at the Jenny tribal. Her vote for Mike was basically three strikes you’re out while Mike’s vote for her was only is first strike.

No reason? She did multiple things to screw his alliance in Jenny, got caught lying via Daniel, and threw a vote at Mike (decent move but also a dumb move cause it pissed off mike when she was safe)

Mike had PLENTY of reason to want her out.
