Also, the Debbie vote was the best of bad options for Aubry and Cydney. If they had tried to vote out Scot or Jason, then Cydney would've likely been voted out as a result due to Julia's double-dealing. It's obvious why Cydney would be opposed to this plan, as it's her neck on the line, and for as Aubry, people seem to ignore the fact that BY HER OWN ADMISSION, Cydney is now her closest ally in the game, and she thinks Debbie is a liability. Why on earth would she ever want to sacrifice her closest ally for someone she doesn't have complete faith in? It seems like people have unrealistic expectations regarding Aubry and Cydney's gameplay in this episode, and it seems very unfair to both of their credits as gameplayers (frankly, in my own opinion, I see them as the two strongest players this season overall). I'll just quote from what I said earlier. Interested to hear what you think: "The correct play (except for Cydney, maybe) was for the girls' alliance to do a 4-2 split. Julia, and, let's say Debbie would vote for Jason, while the other 4 vote for Scot. Even if Julia flips, it's a 4-4-1 tie, and Debbie will join them in voting for Scot. There is risk because Scot could play an idol, but since they know Tai has one, the chances that the other idol lands on Scot is at most 50-50. But the whole "rock-paper-scissors" thing is just bogus to begin with, and I don't thinK Jason would give his idol to Scot, so that was the correct play. Keep in mind, none of them know the idols can be combined to form a super idol, so it's natural to assume that they'd either play idols in their regular form or don't play them at all."
