Jaime explained it all in her post-game interviews. The confessionals were taken out of context. Sheep!She's just trying to rewrite history. There's no question from the things she said that she believed she had an idol. Here are the quotes again:
"We have merged and it's pretty exciting. We have such a wide variety of people, so it's a pretty scary point in the game. So I'm excited to have the Hidden Immunity Idol and it's going to be a whole new ball game!"
"So we have the Idol, the Hidden Immunity Idol"
"I've come to realize that I am very good at playing stupid and it works to my advantage. If Todd sees me play the Hidden Immunity Idol tonight, he's definitely going to be floored. It's probably going to shock everyone, including Jeff. I am not as dumb as I look and maybe they are figuring it out."
Now obviously the shows picks and chooses what to air, and takes certain things out of context, but what context could she be saying these things in if she didn't really believe she had an idol? The only thing I can think of is "This probably isn't a real Hidden Immunity Idol, but if it was, I might say something like this...."
