One move we don't talk much about was Jason giving the "idol" to Eliza. I'm not sure why he did that. Say it had been the real idol, and
Parvati had been eliminated. Whoop di doo! Now Eliza and Jason are the minority facing only 7, not 8, people who want them gone. I think the likely result
of eliminating Parvati in a huge blindside right after the merge would've only accomplished slicing off Alexis and Natalie from a still-strong five-player
alliance of Cirie-Amanda-James-Ozzy-Erik. Ozzy would still be targeting Jason to go next as soon as he lost an immunity challenge.
Amanda's use of the real HII was indeed a big game-changer, in that I kind of think that the main beneficiary of her exit would've been Erik. Alexis and Natalie seemed to want to go the F2 together, and I think neither Parvati nor Cirie would've thrown the other under the bus at F4 for that reason. So Erik would've been an important swing vote at F5 (to be disposed of ASAP afterwards). Gosh...under that scenario, if Erik had gone with Parvati-Cirie, a Cirie victory might've been in the cards. Amanda staying in the game was bad for her, I'm starting to think.
Anyways, back on post topic. Jason=stupid player.
