Except where's the blindside? If Erik is thought to be WITHOUT immunity, that would lull others into a false sense of security. If he is generally known to have the II, and if James is out of the game, there are no more men left to target, so everyone should be feeling a little less secure about her place. The element of blindside must come from thinking Erik is the target because he didn't win II and didn't get sent to Exile.

The blindside could come from Amanda using the HII. With James gone and Erik with immunity it means one of the girls is going home. Parvati sides with Alexis and Natalie and Erik goes with that side hoping curry favor and outlast Cirie with the next boot. Now you say if Amanda knows Parvati switched, why not target her - and that reason is it would leave three fans vs the two faves.

Of course then the question becomes why doesn't Parvati continue to side with Natalie and Erik? Because she wouldn't beat Erik F3 and I think Amanda and Cirie could lay down the law (sorta like what Parvati and Adam did to Yul) saying if we end up on the jury you're losing the game because we'll vote whichever way Ozzy and Eliza wants to vote and you will lose. If we go to the F3 together we all have a decent shot at winning.
