| Second tribal was tough. Definitely get it from Drea and Maryanne. Definitely put their money where their mouth is with using the idol. Johnathon definitely had his foot in his mouth, but I kind of get it and thought he kind of sat aside afterwards. I definitely don’t blame Drea and Maryanne for feeling that way, but it made for a very awkward tribal council in terms of execution. |

I really don't blame Jonathan for reacting the way he did initially since that really did seem to be the implication. As Drea/Maryanne explained more it made a bit more sense where they were coming from and like you said he stepped aside after that, at least based on the edit
I mostly think it's a combination of the editing (not every 'emotional moment' needs a cloying score to make us understand the emotion we're supposed to feel, for one) and Jeff's leading questions that makes these types of TCs feel a lot more awkward than they would otherwise. Just let the moment BREATHE and speak for itself | kinda sucks in Maryanne's case to lose an idol she probably wouldn't have used otherwise but understandable based on wanting to avoid unwanted perceptions |
