Awesome tribal council. I thought the Davids might have had Christian lead a unified 5 votes on a non-Angelina target to stay one step ahead, however it all worked out for them.
Somewhat surprised Dan offered and subsequently played his idol for Angelina, since it meant losing a closer ally and potential "shield" in John (leaving Dan as the largest physical threat), although that's more of a results-oriented thought.

devilish davie has to be the season's MVP so far. im not saying he'll win, and he probably won't because of the edit where he's been nonexistent for a while. but between this and getting natalia out while down 3-2, he's had hugely pivotal moments. if he gets to the end he prob wins after this, too. but i could honestly see a f5 with all davids now, and in that case christian/gabby/nick would prob take out davie and carl. but i digress. just wanted to give davie some love as he is playing amazing from a bad spot, which is not something we see often
dan is probably pissed he wasted an idol on angelina, but he probably doesn't realize it was good for him. because now people don't think he has an idol anymore. i think id rather have 1 secret idol than 1 known idol + 1 secret idol. plus angelina is in his debt now.
things are def gonna get interesting because a goliath prob gets voted out next, and then itll be 5-5. its so rare that the two sides take alternating hits like this and then reach a new equilibrium, as opposed to one side dominating. maybe there would be one idol play that pauses things and then goes back to normal. but with the vote steal, there would be no excuse for a david getting voted out next time. there is no question nick has to use it with the numbers at 6-5
I agree with all of the above, although I can still see Angelina voting Dan out in a heartbeat, despite being in his debt.
