Never know until you try....

Refer back to my spine/confidence/pushback comments.


Yeah, no spine for sure. I guess what I'm trying to understand is, what is the reason they said YES to the tribe's demands? I am guessing they didn't want to. Tony Floor said repeatedly they weren't going to, but ultimately they did. I assume it's because of fear of what would happen if they didn't cave. And that's my question. What would happen if they didn't cave? What was the tribe's leverage?
