Did Natalie W have any idea she won the season before the final votes were read at the live finale?

the edit just makes it seem like they were trying to blindside her just as much as the viewers

I'd think so. Shambo called Russell after filming ended to tell him that he'd lost even though she'd voted for him. Russell thought she was pulling his leg. Whoops.

Juries talk about that stuff all the time and there's no real way for production to prevent it.
