I'm actually not so sure about that, specifically your second point. Had Matty agreed over and over to follow through with Riley's and Tanner's plan to blindside Dexter, but then flipped his vote at the last minute, I think he would have had a slight chance of beating both Dexter and Silas in the end. While I agree that both would be a long shot, hear me out.

The main thing jurors would have against Silas would be the fact that he's done nothing to get to the end, while at the very least, Matty could say that he got Debbie out and put targets on the backs of Riley & Tanner in the process. As such, he would have had Alan's vote for sure (because I don't see Alan respecting Silas' game-play), and likely Dexter's as well for the same reason. Furthermore, depending on the respective FTC performances, I could see Matty receiving votes from Riley and Tanner if they choose not to vote for the coat-tail rider, especially because Riley has said that she didn't hate Matty as much as some other people did. Although I do think Tanner would easily be the swing vote here, and nobody else would vote for Matty against Silas, I think it is plausible that he could have won in a 4-3 vote.

If the final 2 was Matty and Dexter, I think that Matty would have a tougher time winning the game, and the only way he'd be able to pull it off is if Silas was gone before the final 3 (because it would show that Matty obviously rode Dexter's coat-tails to the end). That being said, if Dexter got to the end, he would have been hated by most of the jury for being two-faced and cold-hearted. I think that for Dexter to have earned enough respect to get jury votes, he'd have to put out a phenomenal FTC performance, despite likely not expecting the hatred he'd be sure to receive. I think that the only vote guaranteed for Dexter would have been Alan, due to game-bot more than likely focusing on just game-play (although I couldn't see Riley voting for Matty over Dexter either).

So depending on the two FTC performances (especially Dexter's), I think Matty would have the possibility of winning votes from Sheri, Silas, Debbie, Tanner, and Kelsey.

Debbie expressed in this episode how much she hated Dexter, so she'd vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

Sheri also wasn't too fond of Dexter, so again, she'd vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

Tanner expressed in this episode how he felt betrayed by Dexter given their friendship, so the latter would have to work hard to win his vote.

Silas' and Kelsey's votes would likely be wavering as well given Dexter's cold-hearted and two-faced nature vs. Matty being mostly just very emotional.

So yeah, it would be a long shot for Matty to have been able to beat Dexter, but I think his chances of winning now are all but gone since the only person he has a slight chance of beating wants him out more than anything. Not only that, but Matty's chances of making it through the next through votes would have been much better if Dexter had his sights set on getting rid of Tanner and Riley, whereas now, everything is up in the air.
