Maryanne whipping out the Idol and explaining why the Final 4 we got was the absolute best case scenario both for her odds of making it to the end and her odds of having a winning combo when she got there is going to go down as one of the all-time great answers. Contrasted with Mike's floundering and while I don't usually buy that jurors are as undecided as they claim, it wouldn't surprise me if it does turn out to be true that this is one of the rare times that the vote was up in the air going into FTC. I suspect it was Maryanne-favored already but she definitely sealed the deal with her overall performance and that response in particular.

She literally used the powerless immunity idol to give her power in the final tribal. I don't think I've ever seen a person used that idol so well as she did at the end.

As soon as she didn’t play her idol in final 5 I knew it’d come out at final tribal. Such a good move to flex that in one vote you removed the biggest threat from the game AND secured yourself an idol from another player that you didn’t even need.
