lydia did not get voted out for saying jonathan's name to omar; he was looking for any excuse to protect his allies and used her words to throw her under the bus (and he said this in his confessional in the episode!)

and i don't blame him. he's the big winner of the night, lydia was the person he would be losing the least for getting out, and he had the gumption to make it happen. whether it was good for hai or mike or others, not so certain

This is why Omar was player of the week.

I often say "Don't call your shot if you don't have any bullets." Omar wanted to call a shot on Lydia and went looking for the bullet to do so. Lydia just handed it to him. If she stood firm on Maryanne and told Hai and Drea that Omar was fishing for ammo to turn the 8 against itself, then Omar's the bad guy, and one of his friends pays for it since he's immune.

Omar managing to pull that off is incredible, really. But part of why he managed to do it was Lydia being naive. So while she couldn't shift Omar's target off of her, she could have arranged it so Omar's move didn't work.
