Well, according to Dolby...
I don't know if I believe that or not - but if it's true, why keep him around if he cannot win?
Well, strictly speaking, I still can win but I have to survive for another two day/night cycles without anybody else winning, at minimum. As for keeping me around, if you lynch somebody else with a higher chance of winning then you remove competition for the last win spot, making it more likely that you could win
