In addition to putting up a terrific sad-eyed performance and fooling everyone about not having the HII and being bummed about "leaving," I also like how Amanda: A. took Parv into her confidence about the HII - cementing an alliance there, B. called Erik out at TC, and C. stressed to the remaining tribe/jury when she did play it that she "didn't lie" when she told them she didn't have it (to soften the blow in the face of the potential FTC jury). She covered all the angles and really thought it through. A really masterful move.
