thats always been a "What if" for me is the final 8 of Panama when that icon legend star Sally Schumann laid down and died instead of trying to get her previous relationships with Courtney/Danielle up and running and act as a free agent for as long as she could.
I haven't seen this episode in a WHILE but I remember Terry being all like "If we can get people to flip and vote out Aras I'll play the idol for you, Sal". I want to say that same episode Danielle or such considered how much of a threat Aras was (which couldve been edited in) but my POINT being, had Sally given like even 10% more effort into that vote she could've gotten Aras out (which would obviously dramatically change how the season plays out) and would've had a meat shield in Terry, an alliance with Danielle and Courtney, and Shane/Bruce/Cirie left in the dark with conflict with the other 2 Casayas.
Assuming f7 stays f7, Bruce gets evacuated and Sally becomes an endgamer rootable figure that people might actually be able to pick out of a lineup instead of her current credited big move being losing the La Mina snorkel as blonde girl #2
TLDR Sally couldve flushed Terrys idol and kept herself afloat if she gave a fuck
that always stuck out to me as confusing is in the merge ep of Samoa when Shambo and Laura get into a feud over canteens. They audibly count the canteens and AUDIBLY count up to 9, although at that point in the season Galu was down to 8 members. Why would there be 9 canteens for 8 people to begin with? Unless it was filmed earlier and spliced/edited into that section to foreshadow the crumble of Galu coming into the merge? But that doesn't make sense either because it's presented to us as Laura's canteen getting lost through the process of her getting sent to spy on Foa Foa, which happened AFTER Russell Swan was evacuated and Galu was concretely down to 8 members. It also begs the question that if there were in fact 9 canteens the whole time...why was there a spat over it? There were enough for everyone..
