Blah blah blah ...

The Things obviously wanted to keep Saldana alive last night but couldn't get the numbers to do it. Even if one of them voted for Saldana, moving off of him would have freed them up for another conversion. So even if we hit Saldana and the person who created the tie the next day, they were still going to keep the game alive into Day 4 (assuming night conversions) because we can't get three in one day.

That's why I'm just about positive there is only one remaining at this point and that he wasn't on Saldana. I'm still a little surprised that whoever it is didn't just take the plunge and put the vote on Barkeep to use the strategy above. Because they ended up risking a total loss today to try and extend their playing time.
IT WOULDNT HAVE CREATED A TIE...am i missing somewhere, becuase everyone seems to think this. A swap from saldana to barkeep would have meant no tie, just that we test barkeep. The fact they didnt means to me they didnt want to risk coming up bad, or barkeep is bad as well as it didnt matter who we killed.
