Excellent ep and I think a very good season. Thanks Trix et al!

Amanda atoned for her lame China F4 and final TC with a brilliant HI play, and brilliantly exposing Erik. However, Alexis isn't a threat for anything. This is classic SEG, Natalie will eliminate Amanda at the F3 IC and choose Parvati. It's entirely possible Parv is playing it just that way thinking she can win. It won't matter because I suspect Natalie wins this.

We were clearly shown that Amanda has the best social game and is the most feared in challenges. Too bad she didn't insist on Natalie going. That's her big mistake this time.

Cirie has no way to get herself to final TC once again, and Erik's story is over.
