Talk:Split Vote/@comment-2142533-20130705074320

Interesting facts about the split votes in Hawaii:

1. At the Final 12, Manu Alliance was the only one that has a solid split vote plan it seems and were wishing to get Tommy, Kaitlyn I think, DB and Samuel's contribution. Team Catastrophe actually wanted to blindside Summer (as he is the 3rd of the group), but he got Immunity. Now, we were talking about splitting the votes. The problem is Alex wanted to go all in against Sole (due to possibly too that he is unsure if the new affiliates would really go with it), so the plan was to vote against Sole. I used the idol, but because there could be a chance that and idol can be used against Sole (which could nullify all the votes), I needed to vote against Yaniv as a throwaway. I told Alex too and he voted. So it was an impromptu split than anything else.

2. At the Final 10, I pitched to vote against Gerard to cause I felt that Kaitlyn and DB would be OK with it because he's not Manu, also Tommy said he is OK with it after asking it (at that time, cause I didn't know Alex got Gerard, which made me skeptical). However, Alex understandably wanted to vote against Sole, so I voted against Sole as I trust DB that time wouldn't give Sole his idol (I knew about his idol) and prove that he is trustworthy and giving Sole the idol anyway IMO would've put him bigger trouble. He did though, but I was glad that Tommy voted against Gerard.

3. At the Final 9, it was supposed to be the following:

Zion, Samuel, Kaitlyn -> Sole

Tommy, Gerda, Alex -> DB

Hoping also to vote against Sole was Zachary (who said he is going to vote against Sole, although I was skeptical cause he was an ally of Sole before).

I also said to DB to vote against Sole to save himself. The problem is, Samuel and Kaitlyn (who are apparently the same person) voted against DB (which is weird as Kaitlyn said that "she" always voted against Sole), derailing the plan to vote out Sole.

So there. The first 2 are not really "planned" splits, while the 3rd is supposed to be a different target.
