Max is one of those guys who is completely oblivious to what people actually think of him, which makes him very bad at playing Survivor. He's trying to position himself as a charming, impish "Agent of Chaos" type, when really he's just an irritating tool. He doesn't realise that the people who go the A of C route, like Luke or George, are actually incredibly strategic and using it to deflect (and let's face it, to be entertaining so the franchise wants them back). I think Max just blew up his game by not allowing his alliance to at least feel like they had some agency in his decision. The power went to his stupid head, and it wasn't even an advantage he earned. I find his nickname for Myles to be offensive, not witty, and so the smug look getting wiped off Max's face, and Myles little smirk of triumph was pure gold. Go Myles. I hope he and Karin make it to the end. I like the strategists and the underdogs.
