I dunno, I think at the time, Parv looked like the better choice.
Both Parv and Cirie played pretty strong strategic games, but Parv was more visibly cutthroat, while Cirie was able to pass off to others most of the ill will her moves should have generated. Either one would have been tough for Amanda to beat on the pure strategic value of their games, so all she could really do was hope that people would vote with their emotions and keep their hate on for Parv.
That said, Amanda just sucked at the Final Jury. She could easily have won IMO, if she'd taken more credit for playing the game hard (unlike some, I thought she played a pretty good game overall), instead of playing the "I tried to be honest and loyal, boohoo I'm sorry for everything I did" card. Most jury members, even those who got backstabbed, tend to vote in the final TC with their heads, not their hearts. But, same as last season, Parv talked circles around her, just like Todd did. Cirie would likely have done the same.
Cirie vs Parv in the final two would have been Cirie, hands down IMO. It would be interesting to know who she'd have taken with her if Cirie had won the final immunity.
