but what if the winner isn't the type of person who jumps out at the first episode.. Or is the type of person who sits back and waits and strikes later.

Yes, but even then how can you pick out Amanda as the winner in that scenario as opposed to Alexis, James, Erik, or even Natalie? Just based on editing, there's nothing that distinguishes Amanda from any of the others.

Anyone who says there were editing clues pointing to a Danni win is just using hindsight.

As for "slow and steady", I think that ship sailed when Amanda started humping Ozzy on Day 2. If anything that quote would point to a Cirie win.

What does "slow and steady as response to the game" necessarily have to do with Amanda making out with Ozzy. So she made out with Ozzy, it's not like she'd be the first one targeted in that group. We have seen Amanda lay back for a long time, watch, and let others take the lead. THAT'S SLOW AND STEADY.

As for why Amanda's editing is different from Natalie, Alexis, Erik, and James. Well, let's see Amanda had a big merge episode, Natalie, Alexis, Erik, and James did not. We have had very little strategy confessionals from Natalie, Alexis, Erik, and James. Even James confessionals about Parvati have been more about his relationship with her, and less about the game. (I think that we have had one confessional from Alexis about the game (her alliance with Parvati at merge) and one episode were Natalie had confessionals about the game, and that was just about Jason's boot. That's why neither of those people fit with the surprise winner edit. There is no real strategy from them. They are pawns in this game. Whereas Amanda especially in this episode was edited to be the only woman concerned about Parvati.

If there were any editing clues pointing to an Amanda win, people would have picked up on them before the Parvati/Amanda rumors started. Amanda wasn't even on the radar until that spoiler came out.

If there was an Erik/Natalie final 2 spoiler, people would be pointing out every little scene featuring the two of them and arguing why it was obvious all along.

It's all hindsight and doesn't mean crap.

Amanda may very well win, but it has nothing to do with editing.

Okay, I didn't think I'm really arguing that Amanda wins, I disagreed with everyone writing her off, but she hasn't been shown a lot until recently. However, I'm not just suggesting Amanda wins because of the spoiler. I'm also suggesting it because of how Amanda has been edited lately. As I mentioned earlier, Amanda is getting the "underdog" edit, when she's still in the main alliance. Plus, coupled with the words for this future episode about a former power player, turned into the most desperate one of all, who finds something that "could change the course of the game." Those are classic Survivor words that indicate something about the person. So it's not just the spoiler, but also how the editing has been treating Amanda as of late.
