Outback was just sick. That was the most rough I think anyone had had it. I mean Probst had to fly in to give them more rice because the little food they had got wet and spoiled. Then when they were off at a challenge, a fucking torrential rain fell and flash flooded the area. The shelter they had lived in for weeks basically washed away when they found they built it in a dry river bed. After the rains, it was a fast flowing river washing everything away... including the new tin of rice Probst had just given them! The survivors hiked downstream and eventually recovered the tin of rice, but damn.. that was rough!

Elizabeth had her hair falling out in clumps from malnutrition. Thats hardcore!

Back to OT: Fuck Parvati. That bitch didnt deserve a million over Amanda and Cirie. One can argue Cirie played the best game, hands down. She was the extremely social-mental player playing off of everyone. She said herself, she was the devil on everyone's shoulders orchestrating some of the big power plays. She came up with the ideas and often pitched them in a way that would make others (Parv, etc) feel as if it was their own idea and execute. This left Cirie looking like a saint while the others were doing the backstabbing. I dont blame Amanda for not taking Cirie. Cirie would have surely let everyone know her strat and how she mentally dominated the game.

I thought Amanda had it locked down. Some of the guys (and girls) should have seen through Parv's "I'm a whore to get my way in life" strat. I dont buy into the Parv had a great game viewpoint; I think she fucking lucked her way into her final position. Amanda was truely 10x as deserving over Parv for the million, but I do have to say Amanda's final tribal was weak. She should have spoken up, but she tried playing the apologetic approach when she should have been more assertive and taken credit for what she had done. More unbelievable is the fact that this was her exact same downfall in the final tribal in China.

Truely an amazing season. I cant see how any other Survivor can top this one.
