In a way, it's pretty similar to when Brandon left the game in his second season in that there was a public vote, not even at tribal.
What difference that he was, at that point, a real liability to CBS due to his instability and potential for violence. I think they might have pulled Brandon from the game anyways.
It's entirely possible that in both cases, Probst wanted both of them gone. I wouldn't blame him if he did, but I'd greatly prefer keeping the integrity of the process. If someone's a danger, I believe current rules allow them to disqualify a player.
