more thoughts...
as far as rb choosing a woman... not really sure if that makes sense. I think rb is a little more dedicated than that, meaning, I don't think he would use such short thought out ways to choose a partner. This leads me to think, who might he choose... he might choose Hooked, but then anyone would do the same thing...as Hooked is a good vet, one who knows the game well and is great as twisting things to look right even when it's not. So then rb might think no...he would think we'd assume Hooked is his first choice as it is a common choice in these games so Hooked would be our first assumption.... the town would vote for Hooked for sure.... he might think this is how we will think and go for him because on the other hand, we would assume rb wouldn't possibly do what everyone else would do...
NJ, good possibility... which makes it IS a girl... but not sure if that would be his reasoning, however, she is pretty long winded about why a girl would NOT be chosen....
Then you have Z who seems to even say rb would never pick NJ because he is looking for someone he doesn't get along with.... just who might you think that would be, Z?
