You guys are hating on John. I'm not sure I get it. It seems to me that John is the one member of Galu ('sides Shambro) who is thinking about making it further. Look at the numbers. Assuming Mick's idol doesn't play, Galu and Foa Foa/Sham each have a 50% chance of losing a voting member. Foa Foa's got nothing to lose by going to the tiebreaker. They are only in it if Shambo does in fact vote with them. So either one of them jumps ship and votes with Galu (we haven't seen any sign of any one of them pondering jumping ship, and we haven't seen any Galu approach any Foa Foa, which should also be addressed*), or they go to the tiebreaker and take their chances 50/50, which beats their initial odds of 8:4. John on the other hand has an out. Hell, his own tribe decided (without his knowing) to use him as a pawn to save Laura. He's right, why him? Why not Brett (or Dave or Monica)? I wouldn't want my name to be on the block. All it's going to take is one member of your own tribe to flip and you are the one that's fucked. Hell, at least talk to him about it first before you set the plan in motion. Of course editing could have shown the course of events out of order, but they wouldn't do that. If I'm John I look at it this way: Either Galu (remember, the tribe that was un-unified and pitting against each other pre-merge) goes head to head with Foa Foa/Sham with a 50/50 chance of getting the advantage, or I flip and take my chances. So either my chances are 50/50 that our 5 will take over their 5 and then we will systematically take out their remaining members before fighting amongst ourselves at final 5 (yeah, that would happen). Or I jump ship and assume that my individual playing prowess gives me a better than 50/50 chance of getting past final 5. Me, I jump ship much like John did.

*speaking of which, why was Galu ostracizing Foa Foa to start? Wouldn't you want to cover your butt and bring one of them on-board? If nothing else, assuming you make the end, you'll be looking for Foa Foa votes. Throw at least one of them a bone. Crunch the numbers. At the assumed 6:4 don't you want to think pro-actively past a 3:3 or 4:2 split once the Foas are gone? Even numbers suck. 4:3 or 5:2 is much better.
