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.
She went looking for the hidden immunity idol while James was still there. She volunteered to go. It's possible she might have been thinking of it to save James, but he was pulled from the game. James didn't want to align with Jason. Jason was a huge immunity threat. (Jason said this in his interviews). So she also had no reason not to go along with the Jason boot. She knew Jason was the target not James. I would like to know was she planning to go along with a James boot. That isn't clear, because she asked to go to Exile Island before James left.
