Didn't Amanda indicate that she wasn't happy with Parvati's double dealings because she didn't want to be beside Alexis in the F3? Amanda (wrongly) believes that the jury votes who they like best as the winner, likely because she believes she lost to Todd because he was more liked than she was, as she believes they were essentially one in the same strategically (and as most players said they didn't like her too much last season, that she was too aloof). We also have learned that Alexis is well liked by all jury members thus far, and Amanda has seen Natalie hardly able to contain herself when talking about screwing over Jason, also it has come out Natalie is a name dropper (along with Parvati) and that usually rubs people the wrong way.

Amanda will probably be in for another rude awakening when she's sitting along side Parvati and she loses again, because Parvati made bold moves to get where she is, whereas up until this point anyways Amanda has did nothing really noteworthy.

Have you read what Amanda has actually said in her inteviews after China?
That's not what Amanda said in her interview that she felt that she blew her game in in the Final Tribal Council. She was mentally exhausted and she let Todd paint himself as the strategic mastermind, and didn't defend her own game. She also thinks that she didn't make enough bonds on the jury.. She said that it's hard to tell if the jury is going to base their vote on who backstabbed was nicer, or who was more strategic. So Amanda's fear was essential that Alexis might be able to defend her game better in the Final Tribal Council...

She didn't say Alexis is "nice" and she didn't want to face her in the FTC, she said that Alexis was a motivational speaker.. There's a difference. Amanda also said in a clip before Micronesia that she realized that the jury in China felt she rode coattails and she didn't want to come accross that way again. Pavarti has really only made one major move in this game. Whose to say Amanda won't make her own move.

But as for the jury not voting for who they like better or who betrayed less. Have you watched some of the Survivor finales. How else do you explain Amber (the Crowning example) Sandra, Danni, V, Chris (Chris backstabbed less than Twila), Jenna (was definetly given the win because she was liked better) Do I really need to mention any more results of where the jury voted because they liked someone better.

The thing is to, Todd really didn't backstabb that many people in the game. And all except for one, most of the people who he backstabbed (Denise, James) didn't vote for him in the end. But it helped that Todd took Courtney/Amanda with him to the End. He would have lost to Pei Gee/Erik and maybe even Denise.

All s Fave women have reasons for targeting Alexis first

- Parvati is better friends with Catalie.
- Amanda's jealousy and fear of motivational speaking
- Cirie paiting the Triple Threat label on Alexis at TC
- Alexis was also seen as enough of a physical threat to be asked to sit out the ep.8 RC.

Now if Alexis wins the coconut chop and deprives 2 Fave women of the family visit, sending one to exile ... remeber what happened to Gregg in Palau?

True but if Amanda's the thing was really just jealousy, she wouldn't be sending Alexis to spend quality time with Ozzy in Ponderosa. Where Ozzy can drink and flirt with Alexis all day long LOL.

A part of me thinks targeting Natalie would be smarter physical threat wise when you consider Alexis injury. But if you consider Alexis relationship with Erik...They hinted at it this episode, and we know that Erik is close enough to Alexis to literally go visit and stay with her in LA! So if part of their fear is Pavarti straying on them, they don't want a situation where Alexis called talk Erik into voting with her and Pavarti.
