I totally agree with your assessment sunflower. Amanda is playing a great game as far as I'm concerned too and I'd love to see her win.

There is no way that she knew of the Ozzy blindside though - she told us in a confessional that she mad and 'game on' after they booted Ozzy without telling her. 'What nerve' they had I think was her direct quote. I don't see her making a confessional saying that if she knew of the plan - she'd have no reason to lie about it in a confessional. She also said that she was upset with them, but she wasn't going to show it to them.

Since Ozzy's blindside she's been playing the numbers and biding her time - she had to stick with the girls because that's where the numbers were. Staying on that side of the game let her reconnect with Cirie/Parvati to bring her back into the favorites fold and the numbers advantage at 5. Playing a great game doesn't always mean making all the big moves - I think that many on this jury will respect Amanda's play and the fact that she was able to 'outlast' everyone when the chips were down for her. Also, having seen 2 guys go by blindside, while holding the HII then her flipping the HII situation around and blindsiding 1/2 the tribe has to bode well for her chances in front of this jury.
