Quotes not to dissect your argument, just for organization:

This was the week to get rid of Sash,
The main thing I can say to that is if they did get rid of Sash this week, you have a 3 on 3 battle and most likely a tie breaker situation, and I don't think anyone wants to have to do that. So I really disagree. I mean, this isn't like Big Tom THINKING he's the swing vote and getting blindsided, Sash truly was the pivotal swing vote.

but the one truly wise thing that he did the entire episode was reveal that he was playing the HII no matter what, which did a good job of truly forcing a wedge between the two alliances.
I agree that in the end it was smart of him, but I think you might have given him too much credit. He said he wanted to show that he's an equal player in his confessional, not so much as it was to place a wedge inbetween the groups (unless I missed that part that is). I thought it was stupid at first, but in the end I think it could have been beneficial if he went through with it.
