This has to be some of the worst gameplaying ever in that house... He had a rock solid alliance and he threw it away for... What?

I do wonder if that's actually what really happened. I figured it made sense if they were going to form an alliance as that seemed likely, but now I'm not quite sure.

Khaled in his own words had said to Izaaz he knew he was warmer with the other group, but then they tried to play it off as just a nothing burger of a chat. Which basically gave him a free pass to go cause trouble with the other HMs because what would be the consequences? Khaled is still going to be friendly, etc. I mean they let him walk out the door and immediately were like "I think he's gone forever..." (paraphrase, exaggeration) ... I understand why they let him walk out with things as they were (that's logical) but then they just sat there and let everything happen organically. That also was weird to me and I wasn't sure why the conversation had to happen in the first place. If they were trying to recruit him, they weren't doing a good job of it.

This cast is very competitive and I think up until now they were still trying to go about it like most of them are not calculating how to beat a game. I'd say that's gone out the window now...
