Aarggh!
I said yesterday that I thought the votes on Alex seem like wasted votes, but there were four votes on him anyway - Nigel, Gordon, Malcolm and Remy.
Of those who voted for Alex, Remy is firmly on the radar for me. Here's why:
We had Remy asking for views on who we should send down the plank:
This resulted in a number of votes on him, which he never probably addressed.
The issue was not that he did not vote first, but that he didn't provide any views on who he thought might be suspicious.
Despite asking who we should vote for, he claimed Day 1 lynch will not result in any good. And, although he claimed not to support a Day 1 lynch, he then proceeded to vote, much later on in the day, without explaining his flip-flop:
And the vote is on Alex, a wasted vote because it was late in the day and for someone who was more than likely to walk the plank anyway. Voting was not compulsory, so why vote for someone who as probably going to die anyway and who was not likely to be scum? As Patrick said above, scum is unlikely to go MIA for a whole day.
And then we have this, which resonated with me:
We had a day when most said they supported a Day 1 lynch, but momentum did not build.
I also think that it likely that scum would be drawn to voting for Alex because this vote would have been the easiest to pass off as "oh well".
While I don't have any strong views on anyone else at this point, the only other thing that I flagged was Timothy's dismissal of Remy's actions as "role playing". It feels like trying to deflect attention away from a scum team mate.
* The "probably addressed" above should have been "properly addressed".
