Add me to the list of people who didn't realize this immediately. Maybe I'm a level 1 Survivor watcher, but based on the information presented by the show it's silly to assume everyone should know it was clear coordination.
Assuming Mike coordinated the Christian vote split (which I now believe to be so), why the heck did they edit it that way? They could have found a way to keep some suspense without making Mike look like a buffoon. It's totally believable to a layperson that Mike thought his plan hadn't worked and just voted for what he thought was the next best option. We've seen better players than Mike nonsensically throw a vote away before.
If I'm Mike I'm pissed off watching this episode back. This was his best episode of the season and should make him a legitimate contender to win this. The edit did nothing to drive that point home. At the very least they could have cut to a clear shot of Mike smiling in satisfaction or something to show that he accomplished his goal.
The finale ep better start with a nice confessional from Mike gloating about his success.
