I'm going to be so disappointed if Judd has actually flipped. I know he's paranoid about the twist, but it's completely out of his control anyway, so he'd be better off going ahead with his plan. By forming an alliance with Howard, Spencer and the widows, he's effectively bringing five players back into a game that they had already lost. As frustrating as his alliance could be, they pretty much have the game in a stranglehold as long as the MVP twist continues. (Which I think it will for a bit longer due to the extended pre-jury phase) He'd have been far better off just sticking to his own plan to get Aaryn out, and to hell with Amanda. What exactly was she going to do if he kept Howard in the house anyway?
And now Elissa is seemingly giving up on the game altogether, which will probably further push Judd away from his original alliance and screw all of her friends over on the way out the door.
Such a bad day today. For all their flaws, I actually think the Judd/McCrae/Amanda/Helen/Andy alliance would have been an amazing final five.
