A literal rocket scientist couldn't read the simplest math in the Amazon: one vote after the Jacaré merge, Dave Johnson was the next name up. Rob Cesternino was already wheeling and dealing between every faction, and Dave got swept into the first of those moves — voted out ninth, 8-1, basically a non-vote with only his own ballot landing somewhere else. The NASA/JPL engineer off Tambaqui became the first juror, gone before he ever got to make a play.
