I just wanted to say, belatedly, that voting Colby off then was a stupid move.
Why? You'd better believe that the other tribe would think the same thing about him being too strong, and try to vote him off first after the merge. Let other fight your battles for you. Jerri is not all that great an ally, because she's so annoying she'll likely be a target soon after the merge anyway. It would be better to have as strong a tribe as possible going into a merge, and, even if you want Lex to win, he should have ridden the coattails of Ethan and Colby until those two are voted off by the big merged tribe because they are both such obvious targets, meanwhile he's slipped in under the radar and will have had time to connect with the other tribemates, maybe even joining them in voting off Colby/ Ethan as a swing vote in exchange for getting rid of some of the other tribes people before he's targeted himself. That's how I'd have played it in Lex's shoes.
