She was probably more concerned about how bad she might look to the viewers if she had been seen to nominate him.”
I'm going to ramble or think out loud since I am still confused (I sometimes over think things and I did not find it obvious). I am a Joel fan and don't really find Jack or Chloe better or worse than each other. They aren't in my top 3 or bottom 2.
I think their argument was strange.
I didn't see Jack make any specific look other than exasperation but we weren't shown his face the entire time. Regardless, I see no reason for him to make any look other than exasperation. He had a few reasons for an exasperated look:
1. frustration that he didn't push the button and get immunity--but he chose not to do that so maybe he was exasperated with himself (but he made that choice so it should have been a look of regret…ok, I'm nitpicking)
2. exasperated that his heroic gesture (if it was heroic) was missed---but it wasn't missed since he still didn't nominate Chloe and he would have been nominated anyway by Chloe or Sam…so he still looks the "hero" so why the look of exasperation
3. maybe he realized that Chloe now was doing the ladylike/polite thing to do with a friend and so she was the hero (LOL)…after all she had been complaining about not having a chance to go for the button but when he gave her the chance (heroic or gentlemanly act) she then didn't do anything…just like he didn't do anything until Sam started to go for the button. Then he realized Chloe was playing him and beat him at his own "game" but I don't think Jack is bright enough to see that (maybe but who knows given the production of this series)…so maybe it was a pissed off look
4. anger that Sam nominated him…something personal against Sam
He was going to be nominated anyway since he chose to not go for the button but then when it was Sam he then changed his mind. Maybe he thought something would happen to the last person standing…but that is thinking a few steps ahead and far to unpredictable.
Chloe and Jack both seem noticeably aware of how they may be perceived by the public. They both seem to like each other equally well. They seem like good friends but Chloe is bitchy towards Jack at times (or calls him out on something) and Jack has a pact with Danny (Chloe is not equal).
Also some questions (thinking out loud):
Did Chloe misinterpret Jacks look?
Did Chloe intentionally mislead us on Jack look?
LOL, time for a break
