@@mayechkathis is kinda season specific, mild spoilers: Nick was the main player on the bottom at that point but the whole reason he was on the bottom was cuz he lied about anadvantage. He didn’t wanna make people trust him less, also this auction was directly after the merge so the game was very open
A lot of these players were recruits and didn’t really know the game, also there’s no use putting a target on your back just to get an idol if you’re already in a good position
what you're seeing here is literally the merge, like they merged at the auction so no one wanted a target on their back before even a single tribal had past.
Jasper Kelly the maine thing to look at are the Buffa the first one is at 0:29 with a shot of one player (sorry idk her name) and second is at 0:31 with the shot of the entire tribe which at the time was both tribes becuase in this shot it was before they merge and they have the old buffs on. I’m sure there are other examples of this throughout the auction but those are the main two I spotted
