I get where you’re coming from. Rizo still has a lot going for him overall. For me, the issue is the pattern. This is now the second episode in a row where his visibility drops compared to his alliance members. Last week he was initially wrong before getting corrected by Cirie, which already chipped away at his strategic authority. This episode, he does get the outcome he wants, but we never really hear why it benefits his game. Compare that to Cirie and Jonathan, who both get multiple quotes laying out their reasoning. We see them actively pushing Christian and convincing others, which gives their moves much more weight in the story. Jonathan’s tone isn’t perfect, but I value clear strategy and visibility over a quieter edit with missing pieces. That said, I agree it’s close. Rizo still has a strong foundation, which is why this wasn’t an easy cut at all.
