I feel like people aren't taking my side seriously because I'm an Andrea fan. If she's not supposed to get scared and flip the vote when she finds out she could get idol'd, what's her play? Continue to just try to dupe Malcolm/Eddie and pray that it works? That's fine if so, but then why aren't we crediting her for making the right decision? Yes, it happened after the fact, but we don't know it wouldn't have gone that same way.
Had Andrea not been paranoid, then gone home when Malcolm read the situation perfectly, we'd be bashing her for not taking the "obvious" route, no? So then how can we not give her credit for 1) saving herself, 2) burning an idol, and 3) maintaining her entire alliance? Malcolm thinks she's the leader and wanted her out, so I don't think I'm reading too much into this. Give her some dap.
