Yeah. Skupin is kind of not self-aware - if not as - Abi during the game. I mean I understand that you want to eliminate the biggest threat (Malcolm) and riskly use a power player (Denise) to defeat him, but I am confused because he said he wants Malcolm in the end? I thought he wanted Lisa, him in there so why not eliminate Denise now? Is it because she deems Abi worthless of F4? I am really confused on his F5 and 4 strategy if he wanted Malcolm at the end.

I don't actually agree that he would win though come Final Three. He seemed to had the bad side of Tandang (for flipping against them, although they should've realized that staying in Tandang is not better than making allies in the other) and Kalabaw (Penner probably angry at him and Carter disappointed) and eventaully Matsing if they did vote against them. Lisa, however, seems to be more cordial than Tandang (enough to be brought in an alliance by Pete) and if they eliminated Malcolm, she would be awarded for outwitting (if they blindsided him at F4 thinking that they were still allies and that they eliminated Denise first for being a threat to the alliance) eliminating (and if she said that Skupin wanted Malcolm) and convincing Skupin to remove the biggest threat, which she planned at Final 10.

I think Lisa gets Malcolm, Denise and RC's votes; Skupin gets Jeff (I think not following Skupin's warning of targeting Pete before RC & Skupin first could convince him to vote for Skupin and he might prefer him that sweet old Lisa) and Carter; Abi gets Artis & Pete. The wild card would be Penner (he seemed bitter that L&S didn't go with him) as he could vote for anyone. Lisa seems to have the upper hand and the worst thing that could happen IMO is a tie,
