If Amanda had not played the idol, the most dramatic thing would have been to mix the votes up so that it would have been two and two then two for Alexis and three for Amanda with the final vote determining a tie or Amanda's ouster. Since they didn't do it this way they obviously knew that she would play it so they got her votes out of the way and did the dramatic thing and left Alexis' votes till the last.JasonSat, 03 May 2008 19:46:33 -0000http://www.popcritics.com/2008/05/survivor-micronesia-fans-vs-favorites-episode-12-that-is-the-good-news-and-that-is-the-bad-news/#comment-1343040Good summary of last night's show. <br>I thought that they sometimes do not show the last votes if they already have enough. I remember Jeff saying before, "That's four. That's enough. No need to see the other votes."<br>I LOVED that Amanda played the Idol. That was great TV. :)AnaDVRFri, 02 May 2008 23:45:29 -0000
