One thing is for sure, Rodney has the best position in the game. I wonder if he made Carolyn comfortable by finally solidifying a Final Three alliance with her and Will hence not making Tyler necessary (and I think Carolyn sees him as a goat), if Carolyn wanted to prove that she's not with Tyler, if Carolyn wanted to get a challenge threat out (only leaving Mike instead), or if she wanted to preserve her idol secret (only she now knows it) and also to keep up the ruse of the alliance keeping together by voting out the trouble maker of the previous tribal.

My worry here is that Rodney not only has Carolyn, but also Dan. His closest ally is Will, and with Dan seemingly becoming Rodney's cheerleader and seemingly getting close to Will, I could see Rodney offering a Final Three alliance to Dan too with Will (again, Dan seeing Rodney and Will as goats), which means Rodney could choose either Carolyn or Dan to the Final Three with Will.

Tyler said that he wanted to play a smooth, UTR game. Problem is, you could be UTR without being too passive. You just have to make sure that if you make the move that you are not the main target. Maybe he should've made a move in this tribal by especially if people seem to be quite sketchy about him. Maybe get Carolyn to get Sierra and Mike to vote out Dan by telling about his Double Vote. Problem is, Mike and Sierra could use it against Tyler and vote him out. Maybe the best is to vote out Will who is the only non-BC that Mike and Sierra would be comfortable voting against and would remove a possible goat for Rodney. Like Kelly, I feel that he wasn't able to play up his knowledge of what they observe to it's full potential, keeping it to themselves, even though putting it out could help in the long run.

I think next episode I think Mike still goes home if he doesn't have immunity. Why would Carolyn keep a challenge threat, while she could use her idol in Final Five anyway? The alliance just needs to monitor Mike to not find another idol and they're good. Carolyn could be targeted at Final Five but she uses the idol. She just needs one more IC win and the win could be hers.
