I just don't want her alive tomorrow and for us to spend a day thinking: 'Did the enemies leave her alive, or is she an enemy herself?' My approach, while brutal, is necessary: get rid of the doubt. And I am most suspicious of her, so I'm going to sleep fine!

I don't know how I feel about that vote. Though many have and will find Brinn's non-vote reason for doubt and anxiety, I'm wondering if SamGam wasn't too swift to take that route. Obviously he said he'd be gone the rest of the day and so he was left with little other choice but to vote then or not at all. Brinn wasn't the only one he suspected, but she managed his vote. And what proof does SamGam have the enemies will leave her alive? And also there were (and still are) a few who had yet to post and keeping them alive could be just as bad as keeping Brinn alive, non-talkers, no trails, all that fun to sort through. So why was Brinn's unproductiveness so much more important than anyone else's?

But that vote is sure to raise eyebrows and SamGam must have known he'd be under scrutiny for such a rash choice.

How so?
All in all SamGam jumps out, but I'm left wondering if it's just an irresponsible first day vote and he was out of time and needed someone, anyone to vote for. Or, as Legate pointed out, it was a safe vote because he figured no one else would vote for Brinn.
