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.

That is exactly why Parvarti won the game in a nutshell. Great points.


Sometimes you get killed for playing both sides of the fence but Parv worked it to perfection if you think about it her girl power strat was the strat that brought the girls to the end. While it looked like Amanda was in control she was only in the position because of Parv and her bringing in Nat and Alexis. If Parv had stayed with just James, Ozzy and Amanda there is no way she would have won this game. Looking back on it Parv played the game to perfection and once you look back on it all the pieces of the puzzle fit together perfectly. Well played Parv.
