Rizo's idol strategy

Saw this on 49 as well, where people constantly said "the only reason Rizo was able to hold his idol until 5 was that he's a goat so no one cares to get rid of it."

We saw multiple times on 49 that the majority alliance wanted Rizo out, but didn't vote for him because they were afraid he'd idol one of them out. Even if you believe he stood no chance at winning and people viewed him as a goat, he was still a target because he was always protecting Savannah. Without his idol bluffing, the Tres Leches alliance do not make it to the end together.

Now in 50, we similarly saw people actively targeting Rizo (Charlie and Tiff most notably), and trying to bluff out the idol, but he still held it. Because of the idol being the weaker Boomerang idol, he hasn't protected anyone else, but Aubry so far is the only person to say she wants to go to the end with Rizo because she views him as one of her only viable options. His name's been floated multiple times.

Regardless of your feelings on the guy, it is undeniably impressive to walk into that many tribals without immunity, back-to-back on two seasons, and never play that idol. Legend.
