My first doubts about the guy's chances came about two minutes into the episode. Chris made it a point that everybody knew that he voted for Sarge to leave. For his part, Chris was not a liar, as he actually did vote for Sarge. He thought that by announcing his vote for Sarge, he would get in closer with the women. It's largely a losing proposition, but at least he was thinking outside of the box, correct? Well, I would say yes, except that Chris didn't actually have to vote for Sarge just so he could tell people that he voted for him later. He could have lied about voting for Sarge, which would have beneficial to him. Secondly, he's acting as if the women are all stupid and would all buy into his ruse without any second thoughts about his true intentions. With his delusions of grandeur, you think he would be next in line to become leader of North Korea.

So, Chris is an idiot, but it takes two to make a thing go right. He still doesn't have numbers, and so he needs to reach out and convince some women that they have an incentive to go against their original plans of an all woman alliance. It would be much easier for them if somebody from the woman's alliance broke ranks and tried to pull them into an alternate plan. Luckily for Chad and Chris, Scout was quite unhappy with how things had transpired since the merge. With Julie back in the fold, Scout's place in the tribe has been taken down a few notches. Plus, Scout can't stand Eliza, probably because Eliza is young, hot, and her nipples still point up. Scout's plan was to convince the women that Eliza is worthless and they should get of her first before worrying about the men. After Eliza was gone, she, Twila, Chad and Chris would become the new majority voting bloc and take out Ami, Leann, and Julie as they saw fit.
