Vic's plan: Once Holli and Jesse go "next" -- final 8 they're gonna make a move and knock out either Kate or Scully. Ergo, Jesse/Holli/Sean are all sitting ducks... maybe. Sam thinks it would be fantastic to vote out Nick next.

Hi irrelevant PW with my first post of the season I think! But just curious how this would work? If Vic's hypothetical plan here works, the best he has at F8 is a tie because I don't see Miller/Nick turning on Kate and Scully AND both would still have idols that could turn a tie into one of the Vicarios getting blindsided. I may be missing a lot but based on what I read, I don't see how this plan would work.

Ahhhh ok makes sense. I didn't even think about that but yeah I could see Miller going to rocks but probably not Nick in that scenario. What the Vicarios could try to do just to be sure is they could attempt to convince Kate and Scully that this is the round for all 6 of them to team up and take out one of Nick or Miller, essentially getting the two of them to throw their votes and blindsiding Kate or Scully 4-2-2. The problem with this is Kate seems very unlikely to turn on Nick or Miller before turning on the Morgans. Another problem would be a lot of extra blood on their hands if they use that plan and it works. Idk what the right call would be but it seems sloppy to let the tie be forced and just rely on Nick/Miller to cave when they would probably imagine they'll just follow Scully/Kate in fifth and sixth. Obviously a lot could change too between then and now.

Talking in a lot of hypotheticals here but this plan interests me. Having just recently done something like that in a game, I think the plan Vic is trying to be set up has so many different ways to take it. Kinda want to see how it plays out if we actually get to an F8 where this scenario is possible.

Kate is going to be devastated if Scully gets blindsided (and so will I tbh) but if there's one thing I've learned about her, it's that she has an amazing social game and certainly will not lay down once she's blindsided. I fully expect her to rebound from this and I think we could easily see Vic or one of the Morgans joining Scully in jury wondering where it all went wrong very shortly.

Currently Team Kate/Holli/Nick in that order
