I think using the fake HII was generally good play:
- Bob bought himself an alliance of some sort with Sugar, while maintaining deniability with Corinne.
- Sugar COMPLETELY deflected any thought from anyone of outing her actual immunity idol.
- Crystal/Kenny got a little insurance that Randy/Corinne wouldn't be working to hard to break up their (C/K) alliance, since they (R/C) thought they were in the superior tactical position.
Matty and Susie are the only ones who maybe would have been better off playing the ends (C/K and R/C) against each other, but Randy seemed to make that impossible for each of them.
One could imagine if Jesus and Gandhi and some folks like that were playing Survivor, the tone of the tribal council would have been different. They might have focused on Randy's bad actions, while affirming Randy's human value, and regretting that his own choices resulted in him being sent out from the game. Probably most of us wouldn't have taken that approach.
