Cris solving the snake hut riddle doesn't mean anything because it's what she'd want to do if she were innocent as well.
I had to retype my whole post so I might have botched part of the explanation. (Also possible I'm just wrong.)
They would've iced Cris by coincidence, not because they suspected her. If Kam DID suspect her (which he obviously didn't) then he should've proceeded with burning Melina. Otherwise Cris is the better bet because she had no unique knowledge of Ronnie's murder. Melina on the other hand was the only contestant who saw the last know whereabouts. She could've conceivably survived and Kam wouldn't have known anything new for sure* (maybe she got enough info from that area to make a decent guess). Cris on the other hand would have been stuck with info that the other three had too (in addition to three other rooms worth of info). No way could she have submitted one of the three best theories under those circumstances.
*of course, I was basing all this on the notion that the primary goal was to determine "Whodunnit" when in fact it was completely irrelevant (as demonstrated by Lindsey nailing it, and Kam needing thirty seconds to figure it out even when Lindsey was dead, yet Kam winning via slingshot accuracy and foot speed. Lol.)
