>>19550514>They literally were free, TJ confirmed he didn't have to give him any of the prize money. And it was an NPC mechanic they specifically made to give TJ some chips.Technically Chris had total free action to do or provide anything but nobody employed him because the rules were changed to one NPC interaction per round from one interaction per NPC per round as an effort to screw Tayleigh over since she had so many chips, most of which she STILL didn't managed to use by the time she was eliminated. Once the rule change came in place the one and only thing that mattered was curses because it was basic game theory. In one of the earliest rounds on Day 2 before the change Tay used Brian to eliminate TJ from the round and did a curse on him. That is when Jet ran in and made the rule change.
If you really wanted to meta-game shit that didn't happen, Tay could have roleplayed with Chris for immunity from curses for a few rounds, but that rule change basically ensured that TJ who had zero options BUT to use Chris. His first attempt was doing shots with Frank for 20 chips which immediately got him laughed at for how retardedly low he was fucking himself up on alcohol for and they suggested using Chris.
