Tai's edit was handled beautifully this episode; you got a peek into his morality and his standing after nearly constant episodes of his fan-fave edit. Was siding with Scason a bad choice for him? No, it wasn't. He would have been on the bottom of the female alliance had he flipped and probably would have fallen victim to Jason's own idol.

Also, can nobody see that Tai dousing the fire was actually good for him? He's not only proven he's willing to get his hands dirty, he's thrown the least rootable person further under the bus. Scot was blamed, which to me redeemed it. It's sad to see that Tai is now getting scapegoated as the third asshole, because it's been pretty clear over the past two episodes that he's not as comfortable as he seems. Ten bucks next episode, he flips on them.

Tai 100% kicked ass this episode. I'm telling you, one episode of a morality shift shouldn't kill arguably the most nuanced player we've had in four seasons. You have your opinion and I have mine - Tai this episode just felt so vile. I'm not saying that Tai's fire extinguisher was a bad move strategically, but it was definitely a low blow. As Ian said in the original post, he came off as trying to fit in with Scotson and in the process making himself look like a sore loser.
