If the immunity challenge was in fact rigged/switched at the last minute, I would think that the recasting of the new tribes was also decided at the last minute by the producers, to thwart the onion and make the rest of the episodes less predictable (there's another thread about this). If that were to be the case, future contestants will not trust talking in front of the cameras for fear that they are not just being watched, but rather manipulated as a result of what they say. That would destroy Survivor. I tend to think that they meant the swap all along, and that fact is supported by Jeff's stupid comment after tribal council last week that Kota was not a big happy family, which shows he was out of it and misinterpreted the 4-3 vote.
Someone above suggested that Susie was not to be trusted, and Corinne had been right. Well, maybe Susie could have been trusted before the 4-3 vote last week. After the 4-3 vote anyone, even dim Susie, would have realized they were low man on the totem pole. So it was the arrogance of the onion to think that they could use Susie as a backup elimination and still keep her loyal that cost Marcus her vote. If they had voted off Susie 6-1 then Dan would not have had a reason to double-cross them.
