That would require them knowing Donathan was on the bottom. All they know is that Donathan doubted his challenge abilities and missed a day with Ghost Island. Obviously the edit didn't show everything but based on the edit we can tell that Malolo kept their information more closely to themselves where as Naviti was more of an open book.

On paper a 5-4 majority from each tribe was problematic. I was initially hoping for a 6-3 Naviti majority on one tribe to give a 5-4 Malolo majority on the other tribe. Like in Game Changers and Cambodia, these early swaps will give a lot more importance to the first two immunity challenges and could revert the early game strategy back to who the weaker players are, which adds danger to the Cieras and the Jacobs.

However, Ghost Island is the great equalizer. It does add an extra layer of strategy to prevent it from being an easy tribe vs tribe situation. Even if Malolo did lose and Michael draws the Ghost Island rock, the Naviti 5 could choose to use that opportunity to build allies with the minority to make a move.

Thankfully the more interesting of the two swapped tribes Naviti was sent to Tribal Council, even without Chris. Props to James for looking at options A and B and seeing plan C: Morgan and pushing it. Libby was the swing vote but I think she made the smarter decision voting out Morgan to keep her alliance of 4 united.
