It was dumb. Vote out the challenge threat Natalie, five are left. UNLESS Alexis won immunity, which she wouldn't because of her leg, then vote her out next. This way - either Erik or Natalie are in line to win immunities.

Miss Beauty Pageant, who theoretically has mastered the art of answering questions on the fly and speaking in public, still flubbed her final TC performance. Just because she's a motivational speaker doesn't mean Alexis would fare well (remember the last motivational speaker to play Survivor? Anyone? first out the last time they used that location).

I still think it was a dumb move.

Um... think it through, WMN. Think about what Parvati stands to gain from keeping Natalie, making & keeping promises to her.

From PARVATI's perspective, having "Natalie the Challenge Threat" is actually preferable, since if it's a surprise F2, it will be NAT who boots Amanda out keeping Parvy's hands clean. Cirie isn't a threat to win an endurance challenge, so she cannot be counted on to do dirty work for Parvati. And Parv needs someone else to boot her closest ally.

If it's an F3, but it ends in a 3-3-1 tie, perhaps the person getting 1 vote will be asked to cast a vote right there and then at the Final TC. It's more likely that Natalie would vote for Parvati than for Amanda. Nobody knows how a tie at the final vote will be handled, but it doesn't hurt to install as many players in the F4/F3 as possible who would pick you to stay in the game over anyone else left. With Alexis out of the picture, Natalie is more likely to vote for Parvati over just about anyone else. It's sure not thanks to Erik that she's still in the game.
