Remember when Ben said they WERE trying to make Jack think it was his choice, but they had to give up on that?
Baloney. It's the old "We're letting you in on the con" con. Sawyer pulled it with one of his chicks. Make Jack think they've given up conning him, have Juliet, whom Jack now hates, try to play like she's being subversive, and thus Jack "chooses" to "stop" being manipulated by actually saving Ben.
