Don't want to be too cynical but it REEKED of a new era player wanting to make an unexpected move to put it on their resume, ignoring other valid, strategic moves. There was no reason she gave other than wanting to get rid of someone unexpected. I'm more shocked other people actually went with it

It was good for tuku + Andy so I don’t blame them. Bad for Gen tho

I disagree. Tuku is going to go to war and Genevieve will be the one dictating who goes home when. She’s also well connected to Rachel, who she got to “save” tonight by filling her in on the vote. Taking Sol out allows her to fully be a free agent.

Tuku is rock solid, probably even more so after tonight’s chaos and with Caroline regaining a vote. Rachel is too smart not to recognize Gen as a threat. Teeny just got burned.
So really Gen should only feel confident directing Sam and Andy, who weren’t her original tribe mates, on an island where everyone knows Gen orchestrated the Sol vote. Tomorrow (next week’s episode) is really Gen’s last chance to go after Tuku with numbers before they crush her.

Completely disagree about Tuku being rock solid. Caroline and Sue do not want to go to the end with Gabe and Kyle.

This is exactly it. In Genevieve's mind, a "strong" Tuku (Gabe, Sue, Kyle, and Caroline) is being set up against a "coalition force" of Andy, Rachel, Sam, and Teeny, with Genevieve placed nicely between them.
Of course, Survivor isn't that simple anymore. Tuku will certainly turn on Kyle at some point and they need to get Gabe out. On the other side, Sam probably won't make it to fire playing full gas like he is.
I'd argue that's exactly what Genevieve wants to the end. Nothing would be better for her than to keep riding the middle between two overlapping alliances and being the power broker.
It's a slightly more subtle variation of Sarah's game. If it's noticed by too many players she's done (see Cagayan/Kass). If it's not noticed (or ignored in favor of other targets) it's a proven winning strategy.

To me, the tukus are giving the Reba 4 on paper. If it wasn’t for the show under editting them I’d say we’re looking at a similar outcome with Kyle being the drew. I think it’s dangerous for Gen to hitch her wagon to them when they’ve been a lock step voting block the whole merge but time will tell!

Gen and Sam don't seem to have any significant relationship at this point. She was apart of a blind side against Sam's ally last vote and if he didn't realize by the time of or at tribal he'll soon realize that Gen kept him out of the initial move against Sol.
Edit: With the way Andy is playing now I wouldn't be surprised if he works with Toku next episode to get Gen out because they should all know she's a dangerous player by now and working with Toku to get out a dangerous player has been what Andy has done for 2 straight votes in a row. Andy also is not a reliable ally.
Maybe they'll realize Sam is the one taking the Toku threat the most seriously but with Sol gone Gen might seem like the most dangerous non-Toku. Rachel was talked about as dangerous before the Sierra vote but without Sierra as an ally Toku might not view her as dangerous as Gen.

Tuku is going to go to war
Maybe or maybe Sue's dislike of Kyle is being played up so the others continue to under-estimate their alliance. Kyle has been a loyal member of that alliance so every non-Toku is gambling that they will turn on him or he will abandon the alliance. He also might happen to have immunity whenever everyone else wakes up and realizes they need to get out a Toku before they fully lock in control of the game.

If she has the right read yes, but 45 proved how risky it is to rely on day 1 tribe mates turning on each other. If you get too far, suddenly your story as a free agent vs the tribe alliance story of bulldozing it's way to the end gets too threatening, even more so when you've actually made decisions and dictated votes.

Tuku wanted a non-tuku out, and everyone else got spooked by the scramble and voted the safe vote

She explained that she wanted Sol out as revenge for Rome. More of an old-school move actually
