Gonna clarify some stuff because this could be referring to one of two tribal councils (or both since they do feel linked). Final 6 was a round where the safety without power was used on Epona (who likely would have been voted that round and kloud needed alive as a shield next round) and led to a ton of plans being scrambled and Sidon going home.In post 25, Malkon05 wrote:
Mashterstroke 10/10/20 Malkon05 kloud1516 Survivor: Power v Courage v Wisdom At final 5, kloud found himself vulnerable for the first time in the entire re-merge (that's a whole other thing). He was not immune after having been blocked from participating in the challenge due to a power. Now, kloud had an unplayed "safety without power" item that would have guaranteed him final 4, however at that point he was viewed to have been getting to that point by an unprecedented number of immunity wins in a survivor game, and he was keenly aware it was perceived that way. He needed something that would give him some clout at a FTC, and so he decided to go for a gamble. Rather than play his advantage, be safe, and have no social game, he crafted a very clever lie about saying he was going to play it. Instead, he turned the vote in a direction that was beneficial to his game. Rather than keep him honest and call him on his bluff, the rest of the players followed this plan as given and instead of voting out "the threat" kloud and risk him playing his advantage, another player went home instead. Everyone both in and out of game sat there in disbelief as kloud survived a round without needing to play his advantage and wondering why people didn't just keep him honest. This gave him some major talking points at the FTC when he got there, one juror even asking "how the hell did you survive without playing your advantage?" Although Kloud did not win, the vote was extremely close and this particular move made everyone's jury vote that much harder to decide.
If you are talking about final 5, then kloud did have a normal idol he chose not to play. Instead he played Urbosa's Fury on yours truly and used his Idol Nullifier on Epona, who was the other target for that round, set up by the previous ice arrow/safety without power play. He received a total of 1 vote that tribal while the combination of the Fury and Nullifier sent Epona out with 4 votes.
