What if Minah’s ‘mistake’ was intentional

Minah’s decision to recruit Anna was such a bad choice it seemed out of character.

To put my tinfoil hat on for a second…

What if Minah believes her biggest threat is the producers. She knows she’s cruising through the show without much trouble, so she might be expecting them to put her in increasingly difficult positions in order to create drama for the audience.

What if, instead of waiting to make a forced error, she intentionally made a (almost completely inconsequential) mistake to appease the producers? Minah might have known Anna would reject recruitment, and privately been happy with that decision because it maintains her safe dynamic with Linda (where she is pulling all the strings and can easily get Linda banished at any moment).
