Prior to her play with the HII, Amanda didn't really make many moves. I think Amanda doesn't mind being mean, but she can't stand people thinking she's mean, which is why she goes all blubbery when it comes time to own those moves.

Was Natalie trying to ask Parv if she is bisexual?

What in the hell was Erik talking about? He stood up there and bitched at Amanda and then voted for her anyway.

I agree the Ozzy thing was pretty lame. I can see how that would mess with your head though if you really fell for somebody in that environment because you can never know for sure if they were playing you or not. Of course that's always sort of true when you're dealing with women

.

I thought both Parv and Amanda looked like they had gained about 20 lbs. Can't really blame them though, if I spent a month starving to death you better believe I would be pigging out for a while when I got back. I wonder how long it was between the final TC and the reunion show.

Before watching last night I would have said that Cerie was the most strategic one because she was behind the Ozzie blindside even though Parv sort of got credit for it, and she was the brains behind the Erik thing too even if Nat and Amanda were the ones that pulled it off. Thinking about it now though, I think Parvati really put on a clinic on how to play the social game in Survivor. That was an excellent point that came up in the final TC that she actually brought together a superalliance, made up of 2 mini alliances, both of which were more loyal to her than the other half of the alliance. How could you be in a better position than that? Not only was she insulated from elimination, she had multiple layers of insulation that she could bring together or play against one another as she needed to. On top of that, she had the early couple alliance and got a lot of mileage out of that as well. She was not on the chopping block at any point in the show and really the only thing that hurt her was betraying James and Ozzie. That cost her their votes but not really any others I don't think. I think 90% of the time at the final TC it's better to be seen as the power player than the nice one. I wouldn't want to be friends with Parvati, but I think that she owned this game start to finish and if I was on the jury she would have gotten my vote.

I would like to know if she purposely lost that final immunity challenge because she thought either of the other two that won it would bring her and then she wouldn't have to be in the position of choosing one and probably losing the other's vote. Probably not but if she did then I am definitely afraid of her and hoping she never finds a reason to want to manipulate me hehe.
