Cirie was not chosen by Amanda because Cirie would have won the whole enchilada.

I wanted Cirie to win!

I would have preferred Amanda to win over Parvi.

Such is life...

Oh, and I would never bother to vote for any of them. This is just a TV show. A good TV show. lol

Finally checking in now....only read 2 pages back.

So, as much as I personally dislike Parvati, I still think she should have won against Amanda. She pulled one over on Amanda by getting Ozzy out and harming Amanda's alliance. Parvati also befriended the fans from her camp, which was key in sealing jury votes. I think it helped that Parv's camp kept winning immunities, so Amanda's camp was constantly eliminating fans, so Parv had more time to bond with the fans in her own camp, thus better chance at having them as loyal jury members.

Amanda, the doe eyes SUCK. It's a shame she didn't yet know the results of China by th time she hit the jury for Micronesia, because she would have realized it didn't work the first time. Her answers to the few questions she DID get were horrible, and not very good at selling her game. I am HOPING we saw an edited version of her answers, but I definitely think she did a bad job at the final tribal council.

I can understand Eliza's vote. Her only issue with Parv was that Parv was "just a mean person" (Eliza's words, not me bashing). Eliza loves Survivor, and loves the game, and everyone has to admit Parvati played a fierce game the whole time. She mae all the right mores, even if I agree with Eliza, that she did a lot of badmouthing that just wasn't necessary for the win, and we saw that extracurricular smugness in her comments in the voting booth almost every week.

What was with everyone's fashion choices for the reunion show!?!?!?!

First, Amanda's hair was AWFUL. Hello? Hairspraying each chunk of hair before you stick it in the curling iron, but then leaving the strand all crusty is NOT a good look. And WTH was going on with her BANGS?!?! Awful! Parvati's hair had that same overly hairsprayed curling iron chunk look. I hate it.

I think Jason looked like Ringo Starr or something. All he needed was the Manchester accent.



I am SOOOOO sad Cirie didn't win that last immunity, and even more disappointed that she didn't win the fan favorite money. Her final goodbye comments after the last tribal council choked me up. She was an awesome player, and I would have LOVE LOVE LOVED to see her rock the final tribal council with the jury questions.

I liked this reunion show sooooo much more than others in the past, because it spent ZERO time on Parvati. Awesome.



Oh, ans I would like to say I was sooooo right about how I felt about Erik's move to give up immunity and get voted out. It's like he said himself, sure the money would have been nice, but the moral and ethical qualities needed to get further in the last few stages of the game were ones he was happy not to have. He saw those people as friends, and had trouble with the competitive angle, and he was quite happy not winning, because he prefers friendship over anything else (pp.). I love Eric; he is just so genuinely a nice person. If they do another all-stars format, I hope he is included, seeing as this was really only his first time on the show.

WHAT ON EARTH was with Nat and Parv? The jury question? WTH??!?! I'm no prude or saint, but that question came off as tacky, and made me have even LESS respect for Natalie than I already had.

Oh, and we PLEASE stop casting women with fake breast on Survivor? I'm allllll for fake boobies any other time, but there is just something horrible that happens when the body fat goes away, and these two fun-bags are all you can see. It's gross.

Speaking of fake boobs.....did anyone think that Tracy looked.....maybe like a.....drag queen or man transitioning into being a woman? I think she looked more feminine on the island! I felt bad for her though, about how sometimes you just don't click with people, and your fate is almost sealed there. I admire her desire to fight to the end though. I'd like to see her again, in an all-stars show. I think she's be a real playmaker.

OK, that's all I can think of right now. Oh, and I like Ozzy and Amanda together, but wasn't get gettin' with Alexis on the island, AND at Ponderosa?

ITA, Rosie. Amanda complimented Parv on her game. So I thought then why didn't she pick Cirie for F2? Cuz she was lying to some extent about Parv and/or Cirie was so much better. She knew she would lose to Cirie, but not sure about Parv.

My preference for Amanda to win instead of Parvi is based solely on the fact that Amanda won the immunity. She actually won the challenge and that should have counted for something. The jury really surprised me but they always do.

I KNOW the Ponderosa link is somewhere back in this thread, but could a kind- hearted person post it again, please? I even remember that it was at 5-something in the morning, but have no clue about the date!

thanks Spear. guess it depends on your defintion of 'bitter'

one dictionary variation includes 'severe disappointment'

but with Cirie saying 'I still like Amanda a lot...a LOT' and that Parv & Amanda worked just as hard as she did, and given how she acted at the finale ... 'bitter' would be one of the last words that would come to my mind to describe Cirie

I'm in the minority in that I didn't mind Parvati winning at all. She played a very good game. She realized the importance of the social as well as the physical game.
Amanda lost Cirie's vote with her TC answer. That answer was awful. Parvati owned up to her scheming and because she was honest about it, Eliza voted for her, I'm thinking.

There must be something likeable about Parvati that we haven't seen in her two seasons. She obviously plays a very social game and none of the others have anything really bad to say about her. I just don't get it.

But Costa, seriously... when they won the reward where the natives came to their camp to help them, Parvati asked one of the natives if he was married. Come on...

Looks like Cirie's mind was made up regardless of Amanda's response to her question: link

quote:

Reality TV World: Did Amanda's answer to your question surprise you? What type of answer were you expecting?

Cirie: I kind of anticipated her answering it that way. I knew she would never honestly say, "Well I wanted to take Parvati because I think I can beat her." I wanted the jury to see that.
[...]
Reality TV World: Did Amanda's poor answer -- and Parvati's good answer -- to your question determine your vote or had you already decided to vote for Parvati?

Cirie: You know what? Honestly speaking? If Amanda would have said, "Cirie, I took Parvati because there's no way I would have beat you. I wouldn't have been able to out-talk you with the jury. Plus everybody here knows that Parvati's done a lot and everyone hates Parvati and everybody wants to take Parvati," then maybe it might have been a slight chance. But honestly, no. I probably would have still voted for Parvati.



Based on the other things Cirie says in this interview, I would say she was exaggerating a bit when she earlier said she liked Amanda "a lot".

Here's that site's interview of Amanda: link

WRT Erik's taking the high ground on his giving up immunity... he's had some time to think it over. And he knew darned well that would be a question that would come up over and over and over again. I think he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for, and I think he gave a perfect spin on why he did what he did. I think friendship played a role, but a very small role. He was not at all resigned to getting the boot at that TC. (And I think Erik had boobies on his brain far more than he had the game on his brain. Boobies, or Jeff Probst. Pick one! :-))

Parv. grew on me this season too. She made some real gutsy moves that could have cost her the game but ended up turning it to her favor.

I know, I know - she got credit for Ciere's gutsy moves more than once & didn't bother taking that credit either.

Yep...Parv would grow on anybody...like a tumor.

There is just something about her that I do not care for at all.

My top list of worst winners ever has changed to: Amber; Parvati; Jenna M. and then Danni....as far as females go.

And I never thought anybody could take the place of my top two.

Oh thanks Nick! I totally forgot I didn't like Amber and Jenna! I thought Parvati was the most disliked. OK, so she's right up there with the rest. (And who the heck is Danni? I can't remember her!)

Please don't forget Vecepia winning that season that clearly Kathy should have won (you know, the season with Boston Rob).

I like Parv, too, for the most part. I loved her 'stirring the pot,' her frequent smiles, her cojones, her focus and determination. Amanda wouldn't have had a prayer of winning the game without her.

I think a part of James still liked and was amused by her (in spite of himself, lol)

As for Cirie's interview, I didn't see anything in it that contradicts that she likes Amanda. She was even laughing during parts. I am sure we all have had friends/family who have irritated us, and at the end of the day, we still like them. Altho who knows, maybe her feelings changed after feeling dissed in her jury questioning ...

I just finished the last Ponderosa video clips and was interested that Alexis really wanted Cirie to win (and that James wants his own fruitbat now).

I do wish Cirie could have won that last immunity.. dang.

Parvati.. well I'm one and not alone who didn't even think of her as a favorite to BE on this season. But not as bad as Fairplay.

The hair, makeup and costume department was channeling the 70's last night.

If Amanda has complimented the other players on their game play, and explained voting out Cirie because she knew she couldn't beat her in the jury, that might have swayed 1 or two votes (definately should have done that with Eliza).

Cirie would have had this jury eating out of her hand. Would have been 6-2 or even better if Cirie was in the final 2.

My least favorite winner is still Vecepia. Followed by Jenna. Pavarti at least showed gameplay. The blindside of Ozzy was priceless. She knew it was her best interests to make that fan alliance, just in case her fav alliance was broken. That's good game play. She just didn't win any individual contests (whether by design or happenstance). Many Survivor winners don't win individual events.

Frankly, I gave my 5 Fav Player votes to James, even though he had won it previously. I was torn in wanting to vote for Cirie since SHE really was my favorite player. But (even the Spoilers couldn't decide if it was to be a F3 or F2 ending, right up to the Finale) I believed if it was F3 Cirie would SURELY win the whole pot.

On the other hand, James has provided a lot of one-liners & giving great laughs! Figured he probably got the cut on his finger from working so hard providing for all the 'lounging ladies'. Plus, he was the only one of the later guys that wasn't falling for the flirty women routine, once Ozzie took a hike. Wasn't his fault that he was medevaced.

I sure as heck wouldn't have voted for Ozzie the bitter guy, or Amanda, as Fav Player. Had enough of the Romber Romps already. Maybe CBS just wanted to make another Rob & Amber lovebird moment, ick. At least James seemed more deserving.

BTW, I goofed and lost count when doing my 5 votes. The Sprint site came back on the 6th vote saying pph 'You have already voted.' So, at least maybe it was a fairer voting process than in times past w/o people doing their vote-bots.

Danni was the winner in Season 11: Guatamala. What I remember most about her is the "newly purchased" set of lips she was sporting at the reunion show. She spent the entire time licking her teeth, I guess cause the lips kept sticking? It seemed to be the talk of the board at the time.

I pretty much agree with Nick's list of least favorite winners, and the inclusion of Vecepia. What I remember about Vecepia is not any amount of "unlikeability." Its more like, she was so under the radar it was, "who was that?" So that's why she's in my list.

Anyone think that during Ozzie's jury spiel to Amanda, he was a heartbeat away from dropping to one knee and proposing?

Oh, I liked Vecepia and felt her worthy. I thought her strategy worked really well for her season because she was surrounded by so many A types. I think she deliberately took that route, just sat back and watched everyone else argue and shoot themselves in the foot.

My least favorite win was probably Brian, but that is not to say he didn't deserve it because he did. I just didn't like him. For some reason I did not feel he was a good person.

My favorite win was this season and I could say that regardless of which of the F3 won. I loved the girls coming together like that, I really did.

Also loved Yul's win. He was brilliant.
