It's not as clear as you seem to think. Maybe, but not clear. It's not for sure vanessa will want to target james. More likely at the moment as she doesn't know where his head's at. But if he shows a willingness to work with her she really could be willing to target anyone as it's getting late. You can make the same argument steve would want james out. That he's close with the austwins and jmac. If james wins hoh vanessa will go to him and ask him to join her new team of steve and jmac. For james to target austwins. Or if he's not willing to do that to target steve or jmac him taking the newly opened position once he evicts one of them. Vanessa shows a willingness to work with anyone which gives her a chance to work with anyone. And james knows she's alot smarter than jmac which could help james devise a good plan to get to the end. And he thinks he could beat vanessa in final 2 because she's disliked by the jury. He'd win against jmac as well though. Steve would be close but i think steve beats him. 5 votes being austwins, vanessa, shelli. Maybe even becky. So maybe he wouldn't mind steve leaving.
If james takes out Jmac it causes little blood. And would be brownie points with austwins. It also breaks up the duo of jmac and steve where you wouldn't necessarily be the 3rd wheel with steve and vanessa. As steve and vanessa are smarter players and may choose him over each other if they think they have a better chance of winning final 2 against him than each other. Where jmac would be more likely to stay loyal to steve. With steve their would be similar arguments as well. Breaking up the duo, breaking up the perceived glue between jmac and vanessa. James less likely to win against him. My point is alot of arguments can be made for any of the three. When it gets late in the game like this against an unbreakable trio it really doesn't matter which you choose of the 3 as they are all forced to work together. It more comes down to who makes you an offer first and if you think you can trust them.
Also he knows steve is close with austwins so not for sure austwins would target steve before him. Also austwins would feel if they(austwins) got broken up they could trust steve more to work with them than james as they've been working and trusting steve the whole game. So i can see steve being just as dangerous as vanessa for james. Maybe moreso because he hasn't shown a willingness to want to work with him where vanessa has.
