I think he did. I think he got a wave of paranoia right after the vote. I mean what did his little stunt accomplish appart from demonstrating to the Favorites that he and Reynold are still in cahoots (and thus that cutting off what they thought was the head of the snake didn't kill the body) while at the same time pissing off Reynold by wasting his idol (which he'll be more upset about when he learns that Malcolm had his own... I'm impressed that he had the gumption to weasal Reynold out of his idol 10 seconds after voting for him to leave, that was the one clever thing he did last episode. Not only did he keep himself safe and retain his idol but now no one will think that he has one of his own... someone is getting idoled out of the game this year by Malcolms hand I suspect Phillip since at this point the numbers are completely against him so he may as well idol out someone who is both against him and vaguely athletic).

The only alternative is that he was back in cahoots with the Favorites and this was all an elaborate scheme to flush the idol but his confessional at the voting station seems to contradict that and the fact that Reynold was going to waste it (on himself) anyways.

Malcolm committed the classic Survivor error... he plotted and schemed too much.

Meh, he's a player... but not a very good one. He's really good at challanges but his strategic game stinks. He keeps on aligning with the wrong side and rather then call an audible he just plows forward. When it became apparent that the Pretty People fan tribe alliance wasn't the dominant alliance rather then mend fences and change his plans all he did was complain at them. I think he could be back in a future season as he's eye candy for the ladies of the audience and he's good in challanges but he is not a good player. He told/showed people that he had an idol and then used it on someone else when he didn't have individual immunity that's an awful move compounded by a more awful move.

Probably, unless there is a really really really extremely bitter jury she won't win. She can get to end but who would vote for her? Maybe Phillip cause he's a weirdo but I don't see anyone on the prospective jury thinking that Sherri deserves the money.
