Totally a jury play, especially since she already had the idol ready to play. Basically, her card is that she was "the one faithful person" to play this game, but Erik is perceived as that golly gee whillikers type and thus is the biggest threat to her in terms of jury she might think.

I always find it interesting how they perceive the jury will vote vs. how I do (which is never the same). I mean, seriously, there are pretty much two types of jury votes: the popularity vote and the strategery vote. In recent seasons, things have gotten more and more towards strategy being the main ingredient when people make their vote. Everyone seemed to think Amanda was the biggest thread in front of jury prior to this episode when all she did was pretty much the exact same thing as last year - go along for the ride in the controlling alliance. Other than the initial setting up with Parvati, James, Cirie, and Ozzy, she hasn't really seemed to distinguish herself at all in the strategy game. But NOW having successfully played the idol (with a jury consisting of a majority of idol flunkouts no less) I think she actually has a much more credible chance of winning a vote. I just don't think the nice girl shit plays with this crowd.

Anyhow, I actually have enjoyed the throwing people under the bus moves at tribal (like Eliza did to Ozzy and The Stupid Dude whose name I've already forgotten who got voted out after Ozzy).
