that's what I can't figure out.. "Jessie is not my target" isn't the same thing at all

Well, I think that once Jessie was evicted (which probably wasn't as much of a surprise as CBS wants us to think), Michelle was left scrambling. She and April could at least share in the fact that neither wanted Jessie gone. But since Libra, Keesha, Renny and Dan (or America) had flipped, she was left in the minority with April, Ollie and Jerry. They were mad and she was mad.

She won HOH that week and she was hellbent on revenge for Jessie's eviction, which is why Libra and Keesha went up and Libra went home. She couldn't target April during her HOH week since she wasn't "in" with the majority group. Her best play was to accept her fate, team up with April, Ollie and Jerry (and Memphis, she hoped - another thing she can blame on Jessie, since he told her to "trust Memphis" on his way out), then take out one of them (Libra) to at least even up the sides - possibly tip in her majority if Renny hadn't won HOH.

So even though she was completely justified in being pissed off at April for flat-out breaking their deal and nominating Jessie, to go after her would have been game-suicide.

She hasn't forgotten about it - of that I'm sure. Now that April's gone, we'll probably see her vent about it (probably to Ollie's detriment - as he will be forever associated with her - but only when it benefits her.) Even thought I can't stand listening to her, I'll give her this much, she's a consummate floater - she'll smile to the people that backstab her and her teammates when she needs to survive.

Just my thoughts.
