^ Agree totally. I could hear some say that she shouldn't have told ANYONE. But in this case she needed Parvati for the diversion so she could unearth it. In general, no one should ever be told.

She shouldn't have told Cirie either, that could have backfired. That's probably why she asked Cirie for her "word" that she wouldn't have voted her out if the circumstances were different. I bet the part of that conversation that was cut out was Amanda telling Cirie about the idol.
