amanda most likely chose to participate because of the members of the "alliance", she is the only one (well except for courtney but courtney is on the outskirts of that alliance and is a worthless dumbass) that had just come off a reward and had eaten a good meal. none of the other guys had eaten so food was obv a priority over immunity, esp. considering they didn't need to really "block" anyone, pg, erick and frosti were all viable candidates to go. in fact, amanda herself didn't really need to compete either.

the previews for next week showed erick and pg back at camp, considering they are the most obv people to go if they do a second vote right after, I don't think the twist that is about to come is a second vote.

the final is 3 people so yea basically james at the most needs to win 2/4 immunity challenges to be guaranteed final 3. However, like none of the post-merge challenges thus far have been physical at all like in season's past and james has really waned in the individual stages, his luster is really from the group stages and the fact that he does alot around camp, but as far as the post merge challenges they haven't really played to his strengths and he hasn't really done much at all. If we look at just the individual game w/o considering the group stages, i don't really think james is the favorite if we're voting on merit considering he hasn't really had to do much of anything.
