I watched Saw II tonight and picked up on something I never noticed before. When Amanda and Daniel finally get caught by Xavier in the bathroom he tells Amanda that he just wants their numbers located on the back of their necks. Amanda asks him how he expects to get his number if she doesn't tell him what it is.
Now... how would Amanda know about the numbers so quickly unless she was in on the whole thing? Xavier came across two other livings players, Addison and Jonas, and neither of them had any idea why he wanted to look at the back of their neck. Jonas unsuccessfully fought to resist it and Addison thought he was just being an asshole by leaving her in the razor box to bleed out. Amanda gave Xavier a weird look before making this comment, "You still don't know your own number..." I perceived it as a look of, wow he actually figured out that clue on the tape.
I am keeping in mind that Amanda had played before and could have just as easily figured out what the number clue in the tape was, but I don't think she would have figured it out if she would have been a regular player like everyone else. No offense to the character but she didn't seem to be the puzzle-solving type. Her original test consisted of stabbing someone to retrieve a key. Her second test was a riddle and she failed it and failed it hard. Yes, I know she was blackmailed by Hoffman but at the rate she was going I don't think she would have passed anyway. Jeff was so clouded with rage he would have most likely shot anyone he came across.
Point being, it is just another one of those subtle hints they gave us before the big reveal. I didn't pick up on it until now.
I love how I am able to notice something new each time I watch a Saw movie. They pay so much attention to detail. I love it.
