Actually, it would be Idol 2.1 because its just a continuation of the second idol, and the plan is completely plausible. Bob can just tell them he was never willing to give the idol to Corinne and the story they gave to Kenny and Crystal was just a bluff to get them to vote their way.

You know Bob is toast in this game, but you also have to give the guy credit for at least going down fighting. Not only being an "immunity threat" at age 60 (LOL) but also taking the...

based on crystal's voting confessional, I think she really wanted Corrine to go.

actually, what I think the best way to do this from Bob and Corrine's perspective is NOT tell anyone about the fake idol directly- and only talk to one another but be deliberately overheard, most likely by Ken or Crystal. let the fivesome scramble within themselves to vote out one of their own for self protection since they believe Corrine is playing an idol and anyone of them is going home.

If paranoia works, when pressed or cornered (as the plan should be) Corrine hints that...

Of course Kenny is going to ask "Why are you telling me you are going to vote me out?". What then?

Corinne could just tell Kenny that she wants the blood on his hands. If he doesn't want to do anything about it, then tough luck your going home.

It's easy to claim you would have done things differently having had a clear frame of mind living & viewing the program in your mother's basements.

Actually, Bob still has a card up his sleeve. He can tell everyone that he still has the idol because he didn't give it to Corinne and they were only bluffing about playing it. Im pretty sure that's how it's going to play out in the next episode.

Jeff burned the fake idol in a big tribal council torch. That's too pathetic for the Fake Idol.

Fart Party hit the nail on the head: NOBODY wants Bob around because he is way too squeeky clean.
While Ken may have lost his leadership position by voting for Matty, it just makes him dirtier and more appealing to bring along to the finals.
Ken made a mistake, but he still wins easily against the girls.

Sugar's final speech will kill it for her. Unless of course Snoozie and Crystal are there with her.

What people are forgetting is no fucking way anyone wants to go into the finals with Bob or Matty, they're an easy sell to the jury. Sugar and Crystal can at least try with their final speech (even if they don't realize they'd probably be cooked against Ken.) otherwise.

There was no incentive for Crystal and Kenny to actually vote with them. I'm surprised Kenny did. Master strategist my ass. You gotta keep all 5 guessing as to who's gonna get the boot. That would've created fear and they would've turned on each other without flushing out the idol.
