I mostly agree with the Survivor Know-It-Alls on RHAP regarding my thoughts on the episode, such as:
 * Great TV, terrible move by Tai, at least from his perspective. Regardless of how far down he was on the bottom of the Jason/Scot alliance, he still would've been brought to at least the F4 with two goats and Julia. Obviously, from there on out he needs to win immunity, but that's what was going to happen no matter which way he sided with. Now the alliance doesn't trust him, and he's definitely expendable to the Cydney/Aubry alliance, and probably would be voted out sooner. He has an idol and an extra vote, which may seem like an advantage, but if he doesn't burn both at the next Tribal Council [which I'm guessing he won't], he's a huge target.
 * I hear people complaining that Tai would've went home if he didn't flip since the vote was 4-2-2. What people are forgetting is that if he didn't flip, then his vote would have been for Aubry and there would have been a 3-3-2 vote, with 3 for Aubry and 3 for Scot. Afterwards, there's a revote with the other six people. Tai and Jason vote for Aubry while Cydney and Joe vote for Scot. I'm assuming Julia would vote for Aubry since she realizes she was left out of Aubry's plan, and Michele would probably follow suit. So Aubry would have went home without the use of a super idol and the whole thing would've backfired. Even if Julia and Michele vote for Scot, Scot still plays the super idol since Tai isn't flipping and Aubry gets sent home in a 3-2-0 vote.
 * As said previously, Tai needs to burn both his idol and the extra vote at the next Tribal Council. Keep in mind that all these castaways flew out to Cambodia before the episode aired where Dan Foley got his extra vote in WA and obviously before Fishbach got his vote steal in Cambodia, so Tai can't be aware of the curse.
 * Fantastic play by Aubry and in my opinion is the only good move by her so far[come at me, haters :P].
