True. That would have forced a revote, and Francesca would have gone home IF Rob’s crew stayed solid and didn’t take the chance to turn on him. But at the time Kristina didn’t know how obvious she’d been about her idol hunt. There would have been no reason to split the vote on the very first TC except that Rob was smart/experienced enough to spot an idol hunter.
kristina did not use her HII - was it a blind gamble or did she speculate that the Former Federal Agent? would vote for franchequeska? i thought the latter but that would mean she would have considered the split vote too.
Speculate nothing. FFA? outright said he’d do it at tribal. And once the idol was out in the open, with Rob’s confident public declaration to his alliance that he was going to continue with the plan, at that point, Kristina must have known it would be a split vote and that FFA? would make the tie-breaker. No need to play the idol anymore.
Fair enough.
TBH that question has crossed my mind.
I liked that smile Kristina cracked when she had two votes and she thought she’s just made the smartest move in the game. She’s on the outside and knows it.
Watched both episodes last night. I was very suspicious in Ep 1 why they were showing so much of Francheskwa, and I figured she was a goner. Then in Ep 2 there is suddenly pre-dreadlock-guy who I never even noticed in the first Ep.
But I have to say, I’m very disappointed in the whole HII thing. I think they are purposely hiding them in obvious places so people find them without clues.
Red haired hick guy is so far my favorite, and I hope he gets Russell out ASAP.
Ralph Roosterman. 
Just to let you know guys, we’ve already got another topic on the second episode:
ah, i must have missed that.
