This brings up a good point - MAKE SURE you are comfortably ahead before you start scoring for the opposition, especially this season. We obviously cannot always rely upon real time scoring to give us any true indication of how the match stands. To avoid any potential heartache/devastation/what have you out of your alliance should you score TOO MANY points for the opposition, make sure the scoring gap is wide enough to proceed, and don't get TOO greedy.

If this strategy backfires on any alliance that attempts it, they will have no one to blame but themselves. Be smart - know the risks before proceeding.
