Things got a bit shaken up last night. I knew when tribal council started that Amanda was putting on an act (and a damn good one), and that she really had the idol. I don't care if she had to dig herself halfway back to China, she was going to find that thing. Otherwise, she was about 99.9999% sure she was going home. I loved the looks on Ozzy (and the rest of the jury, for that matter) when they thought that Amanda was being voted out, and then again when she pulled out the idol.

Wouldn't it be funny if Amanda made it to two finals in a row? I think she's got a much better shot at this one. The last time, she was a party to most of the votes that put people on the jury. That made her feel guilty, and she lost it at Final Tribal. This time, the only person she was a party to voting out so far is Alexis (yeah, she voted for Jason, too - but it was pretty clear that she wasn't the ringleader on that). Alexis said in her final words that she know's it's a game and she's not mad. I realize that saying that doesn't always matter when it's time to vote, but I'm pretty sure of all the people left, Amanda's got Ozzy, Eliza, James, and possibly Jason's vote. That's already a majority. She'd have to majorly blow it (AGAIN) at this point to loose.
