I get that people are saying the advantage wasn't that good, or it wasn't useful but honestly it was wasted. More importantly it made it seem like Heidi was and is gunning for Jam Jam when she talks about liking him and potentially wanting to work with him in the future; I highly doubt he feels the same now.

On top of that you've now upset Caroline and potentially Carson by exposing your intentions so they're more likely to side with the other tribe now during the merge.

The correct move when you have a dramatic public advantage like that is to have a dramatic moment, it does not matter what was said at the previous camp, it does not matter how people planned to vote when you have as much power as Heidi had.

She stole Lauren's vote and put it on Yam Yam..... that was literally the worst thing she could've done. as Lauren still has the potential to vote, she gets to keep her advantage , Jam Jam doesn't even go home and now she's in a bad spot.

Now imagine if after all this pleading from Jam Jam and Matt, Heidi pulls a boss dramatic move, "Hold up Jeff, both Jam Jam and Matt are clearly in the ocean without a lifeboat, I'm going to toss them one. I'm stealing Brandon's vote and he's voting for Lauren tonight."

That's a public target on Lauren for both Matt and Jam Jam to cling on to, and Lauren HAS to play her extra vote, just at a chance to tie. At that point, everyone goes to rocks; but it's a much better chance to keep Matt and you don't piss off Jam Jam or Caroline.
