Being a fan of the show, it's actually harder to predict how some of these people take bad news. Watch out for that smiling face behind you, she may actually seem smarter to them than you. She's not, but the smirking and lying could cost you a million dollars. Todd's story is gradual in this season. So far, so good.
Yep. There are people who you can backstab and will chalk it up to the game, and there are those that will hold it against you for the rest of your life. Rational/Logical v. Emotional. No one strategy is good for every situation. You need to adapt your strategy based on your opposition.

She might end up winning because she hides in the background, not because she's smarter, but because she is someone the jury can condescend to and feel better about losing to.
But wouldn't her hiding in the background be smarter?

True. I definetly think that on the jury, Jaime, Peih-Gee and even Denise would vote for Amanda to see a strong woman win.

That is the quandary that our Administrator faces. He will not lock it, of course, Until the "spoiler" is proven wrong, which won't be for a long, long time, until the end of the game. Have fun!

She's contributed around camp, rocked in challenges, has been shown to be plotting with Todd and Aaron and a lot of you still think she's useless fluff just because she won a beauty contest or two?
She IS useless fluff. All we've seen from her is losing her top in a challenge and plotting with Todd after saying she knows he's devious, basically setting herself up to be used by Todd. Other than that, there isn't much to her. Just another boring player.

I'm not RVS, but I think it's because Denise won't be winning the game, so in effect it doesn't matter if she is what he considers a boring player.
