Gaulu is a comical example of group-think, IMHO. And John happened to realize this fact way too late (and when he was under the gun). But, I imagine that he still has hope

However, what I saw was more "Oh, shit, my tribemates threw my name out there and didn't bother telling me anything about it. I've wanted to flip since we merged so here is my chance to justify that!"

This is what I really have to wonder, was there more we weren't shown, some bit of logical thinking that included the endgame and who he wants to go there with or did he just cast a vote based on fear?

It was a late sign for John, but the fact that his tribe mates were willing to throw out his name and without his permission was telling. It told him that he was on the bottom of the Gaulu totem pole, even though he thought he was in good with all of them. In fact, he may have even thought of himself as a leader of sorts, since they would all "run numbers" by him. Just flatter John on how smart he is and he is with you! John simply became Shambo #2 (prop guy leader), but less obviously so.

So, realizing a bit late regarding his own place within his tribe, he can only hope to forge something better with the Foa Four. Little too little too late, obviously, for us viewers - but remember, the Foa Four are still trying to sell the fact that they are wide open and doing separate things. And, the Foa Four are still playing up the argument at TC that they are waiting for "someone" to realize it's an individual game and to come to them with peace beads. So this gives the guy even more hope that things could change in his favor. Unfortunately, I think John is the obvious one that will leave next. Foa will not want to be beholden to any promises on behalf of any Gaulu tribe member at this point after all of their pomposity.
