I think it was a bad move by Science for two reasons:
- Firstly he will be up for eviction this week for upsetting nearly everyone including Eugene who said he would rather have Maxwell in the house than Science.
- Secondly his going to lose some of the public support he once enjoyed. It might only small amount of support he loses this time but if he does it again larger number of supporters will drift away. If that process continues he will end up being voted out, just like Maxwell was.
If he repeat the process again and again he is going to be up every week until the final.... and somehow I don't think he will survive.
