Partly, but JT has trust in everyone. LOL Apparently he hid his idol away from camp (because he knew or thought the others would go through bags) and didn't get a chance to retrieve it.JT got rid of himself by putting trust in Brad, the edit just wants to hype up Sandra. Big targets going at this stage shouldn't help Sandra. She's the last repeat winner there now if I remember right. No way are Michaela and Varner much of a stable alliance for her either.
I liked Mikaela first time around, not so much this time. Seems like she's heading for the "my shit don't stink" title.
As to Debbie, she's not in on the joke, she is the joke. She's a classic revisionist (they even repeated her saying she could do the balancing in that reward challenge that she lost for them after she said Culpepper ordered her to, even though she was better than Hali, in her own mind) She also stated in her confessional that she doesn't get mad, she exercises, they showed that after she blew her top epically. Did she force them to bring her back, and this is the payback? (would love it if it was!)
