I think this simultaneously is rather past due and also probably a mistake for the majority. He seems like one of the only votes that Richie might be able to pocket, which by extension makes him useful to Madame D and Margot. Plus Duke knows that Duke is Herman's end game plan, so that makes a majority that should be working to keep Herman here. The push apparently is coming from Madame D herself, but these people should probably be targeting Suzy.
