That was an interesting episode.
While it's always nice to see an Idol be played and work, I can't help but wonder if Julie made the wrong choice with who she sent home.
She was probably thinking that Emily is a bigger threat to be sitting beside than Austin (and she's right) but the information she doesn't have is going to be an issue.
Next episode, even if neither Austin or Drew win Immunity, both are still safe. Austin still has his Idol (which must be played in the next Immunity to be worth anything), and Drew has his "Safety without Power" advantage, which takes them in a strong position into the Final Five.
Some pretty big brass balls on Austin to not play his Idol when Julie played hers, though.
I think that Emily needed to be quiet about her causing Bruce's downfall. She apparently was clever enough to engineer it without anyone else being in the know, so that should have been part of her jury pitch instead of something 'round the campfire that night. Put a huge target on herself.
