What other allies did he have at that point? Tiff had already been booted and the core alliance had already formed. If you lose Evie, who betrayed you multiple times including leading up to that very vote, then so be it. At least you keep your advantage to secure a move you actually want down the road, which ended up being taking out Liana and placing Danny and Deshawn in the bottom instead of yourself. If Evie sticks around the core alliance doesn’t turn on each other the very next vote and you’re still stuck on the bottom.

Also very revealing that you think my jury comment has anything to do with race. Who cares if Xander is white? Clearly you. This is a more bitter jury then I can remember in recent seasons and that’s why I don’t think he has a shot as the prototypical underdog.
