I think that makes sense for sure. I really wanted to strike a balance between listening to what Joaquin and Dan wanted, and also doing what was right for me. I was just really worried about Max at the time because I really didn't even think he was going to stick with us for the one vote and yeah we may have made the wrong decision. And if he had established a connection with the Yalis, I was kind of fearful about what that would have meant for us.
If we had trusted that all 4 of us would stick tight, I don't think this would've been even an issue and we likely would have done something like that (someone pretending to join up with them), but I don't know. My tiebreaker stupidity came into play too, I completely forgot about that one rule and just thought of the leader as the deciding vote on both tribes and didn't even think about it possibly being another way until I think Joaquin pointed it out to me and then I was like "oh.... shit". By then it felt like it may have been too late? I don't know.
I had a feeling it was going to be Joaquin if he didn't win immunity and I was somewhat okay with that. His aggressiveness and willingness to put himself out there for not one but TWO pre-merge immunities paid off... for now. I don't know if he has the support or connections to go deep (he'll probably have to hustle big-time) from this point on, but I'll be rooting for him too since he seems really smart and was fun to play with post-swap. I just never had the trust in him that I did in Dan.
