They should have taken Christine since she was obviously the one that was going to be voted out. That way, they make another ally for after the merge. Also it puts turmoil into the voting tribe as they suddenly have to vote someone out other than the one planned, and without any chance to talk to each other, therefore forcing them to turn on each other. Taking Nate was stupid.

Aitu (and Nate especially) must have been disappointed they didn't get to stick around for the vote.
I agree the Adam-Candace exchange might have been a big tactical error especially after Cao Boi planted the seed.

Also, I don't think Jenni was definitely the one to go had they taken Christine. Only 2 voted for her. There is no telling what the other 4 would have done, especially since they would have no opportunity to confer with each other before the vote.

I wish Cao Boi would have tried to take the immunity idol with him from TC. Would have been too funny. Jeff:"I'm going to have to ask you to leave that here"... CB starts to back away... Jeff:"You can't take that with you." CB:"Watch me!" ...and he turns and runs off only to be tackled by the crew. 
(That nut is crazy enough to try it.)
How long does Nate stay with the other tribe? I missed that. I agree they should have chosen Christina.

I mistakenly thought Jeff had said until the next reward challenge, so the pick of Nate kind of threw me for a loop, for I thought it would been wiser, like others have stated, to have kidnaped Christina. It makes sense to go with Nate if they want to win the next RC, but they need to be looking at the bigger prize, the million dollars, and saving Christina may have proved benifical to them once the tribes merge, in case they went into the merge without the numbers. But it doesn't look like some of these people are going to be voting along tribal lines once it happens, so it should make for an interesting after merge Survivor.

Did anyone else notice that someone drew what looked like a gun on their slip of paper when they voted Christina off. That's pretty damn cold considering she was shot at some point in the past as a cop.
