Jimmy T didn't wait for Espada to hand him power — he lobbied for it, loud and nonstop, days of pleading with the old tribe to just make him the leader. The Gloucester fisherman had watched coach Jimmy Johnson get voted out the round before, and instead of slipping quietly into that vacuum he campaigned for the job out loud. The begging wore everybody down. So when Espada lost again and shuffled to Tribal, the move was simple: the guy demanding a role nobody offered him was the one they sent home, and Jimmy T went out seventeenth. A pre-merge boot cut not for being any kind of threat, but for asking too hard — he talked himself off the beach before the merge ever got close.
