I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis; indeed it is exactly what was being discussed in my own household. The moment Jas initiated a further banishment, it should have been obvious to Mollie that he was a Faithful. Logic dictated that it would have been foolhardy in the extreme, for Jas to have done this, had he been a Traitor. She simply didn't process her thoughts objectively.
She reacted as we feared she might and Harry almost certainly knew she would, to wit: emotionally. I believe that she was enamoured of Will and followed her heart instead of her head.
Jas was in an impossible bind. He could only have played the hand that he did. Mollie let him and herself down. Notwithstanding that Harry took the money, in my opinion the real victor was Jas because Harry was gifted the prize fund by Mollie. Jas didn't lose it, he was failed by a fellow Faithful. He walks away with his self respect, a well earned reputation for being an analytical thinker and his head held high.
In contrast Mollie will always be remembered as..........
It does seem very important to be likeable - the eliminations of Jas and Evie seemed based on female infighting to me, and getting another person eliminated and not seriously thinking about who knocked off Zack. I think Andrew made a mistake murdering Zack, who was starting to get annoying and would have been turned on soon enough.
Good Saturday night in was that, watching the last 3 episodes and then reading this, thanks.
Harry made a tactical error at the end - perhaps his first? - and was lucky to get away with it.
Of course once Andrew was banished Harry would like the game to end. But he is fairly certain that Mollie believes all 3 are Faithfuls but that Jas is convinced that he is a Traitor. So it is highly likely that Jas will vote for another banishment in which case there is no point in Harry voting to end. He should therefore have voted to continue to avoid presenting Mollie with the evidence that he is a Traitor. That seems to me to be less of a gamble than relying on Mollie’s heart ruling her head. Following this strategy he is probably going to win anyway at the final stage since Mollie’s heart can vote in alignment with her head.
Given the blinder Harry had played up to then I thought he would do this. Regardless he was a deserving winner.
