The fact is, never having to go to council means that there is little need for politics. It's one reason this is such an interesting merge. One tribe lost their leader to illness, and the…

Good analysis. The only thing I take issue with it your comment that Jonas could take Christina to the end. Not a chance. Maybe Christina could take Jonas to the end, but Jonas is too passive.
