Survivor has changed up the way they do things so much that it's tougher to make these strategic decisions. IF they knew the tribes would stay exactly as they are right now until the merge, THEN they should keep some stronger guys around for a while so that they can win some challenges. However, team work can be a big factor in how tribes do also, so if there is someone who is "toxic", it may be better to get rid of them. THEN you have to factor in that frequently, there are tribal swaps. Some of those big strong guys you're keeping around to win challenges for your tribe may end up on the other tribe before a merge takes place. That's the factor that makes it a lot of guesswork. Courtney screwed up so badly. It wasn't just her lack of strength, because once she started sawing through the ropes, she got them fairly quickly. She didn't stay on task. She kept walking away from it and that is just unacceptable. If I'd been on that tribe, I'd have gotten rid of her. One thing I didn't catch though.. did anybody on her tribe know that Leslie had a clue to the hidden immunity idol and did she share it with anybody on her tribe? She could've bought herself some time with that info, I think.
