Ozzy goes all LEX, targeting anyone who DARES challenge "HIS" win. Compassion to the MASSIVE THREAT RUINS ALL: Erik is the new S9 CHRIS. Enjoy your undeserved MILLION, Lion King. Ozzy chose "The Enemy You Know" over the "Enemy You Don't Know" in Ep. 5, booting a potential strong ally in Joel. Yet, he farked that up booting Ami over Erik. Violate your OWN RULE. You are TOAST. Ozzy's supposed Iron-Clad alliance is now out to get him. Now the Swing Vote to keep him in the game: Erik. Much ado has been made about CIRIE echoing SANDRA'S strategy of "As long as it ain't me." But what of Sandra's REAL strategy. Trying to keep Rupert in the game as long as possible, even if she could have never won against him. She held herself out in the End Game as the one TRUE BELIEVER in Rupert, trying to clue him in to the inevitable treachery against him. Erik has now positioned himself in the same way, the last true ally to Ozzy in a lost cause.

I best she succeeds, but editing will have almost everyone doubting her before it's over. We've seen women lose 6 jury votes in a row to guys. We've seen the Amber "nice girl next to guy who gets hands dirty" strategy fail several times, most recently with doe-eyed Amanda. We've seen Becky and Cassandra get zero votes. I think Parvati can beat Amanda, Alexis, or Natalie. The Faves on the jury don't want to come off like sore losers rewarding another Amber over a more strategic Parvati (or Cirie). If a Fave wins, the Faves are ASS and the fans a mere plot twist. If a fan wins, what a slap in the face to their pretensions.of being ASS.

He wants HIS idea of a Survivor WINNER to win, no matter how the game WOULD have played out. HE'S totatally wiling to TIP THE TABLES for ever HE SEES SHOULD win the game and that's ERIK at this point.

I would be willing to wager both Cirie and Amanda have confessionals regarding a women's alliance, and Perv has a confessional or 2 questioning Cirie's and Amanda's loyalties.

Posts: 655 (04/11/08 10:16 AM) MESS member More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I'm with you, Croc, although I'm not completely convinced yet that she will actually win. It could be all about how she masterminds herself out of a million. I don't think Erik will win either. Erik is only safe as long as Ozzy is there to protect him and it increasingly looks as if the women's alliance really does happen this time around. (moment of silence for Ami). Side note about last night's TC: I really do wonder what Jeff thought was funny--Eliza playing the stick or Eliza telling Jason it wasn't the immunity idol. I think they treated her with a fair amount of respect in terms of the editing. She knew in all likelihood it was a fake idol, but thought "what the hell, it's worth a shot." and then used the moment to out Ozzy, which is pretty much all she could do. I know she had it in for Parvati yadda yadda yadda, but I am so sick of the smugness that pervades the Parvati/Amanda/Ozzy trio. I don't get that feeling from James and Cerie. If Parvati wins, it will be due to some good gameplay but I didn't like her the first time and I don't like her now. She plays the game by forging the high school "cool kids" alliance. Last time it didn't work for her. We'll see about this time, since she now has a counter "cool girls" alliance. I still think she ignores Cerie to her peril. The boys are pretty much toast from here on out, I'd think.

That really pissed Amanda off and made her question her trust for Parvati. If you notice all the editing in last nights show that still shows a tight bond between Cirie and Amanda, but nothing between Cirie and Parvati. I doubt that Parvati will ever go to Cirie to bring "her" into the new alliance and that will contribute to Parvati's death. Remember Yau/Jonathan "secret" alliance that lead to Yau's demise. Don't be sneaking behind Cirie's back or even let it seem that your plotting behind Cirie's back. If you read some of Yau's exit interviews out there you know it was a BIG misunderstanding between him and Cirie and the Jonathan alliance, but the damage was already done and Yau couldn't do enough backpedaling to save himself. If Cirie gets wind of the "behind her back" alliance that Parvati made with Nat & Alexis...........well, all I can say is buhbye Parvati.

Parvati is Amanda's Todd. Will she actually make the move against him this time?

LOL She really pissed in the pickles with that one. No doubt if Amanda tells Cirie about Perv's shenanigans, she will be next on the ol chopping block.

PARVATI: I think we see where she blew it, right last night. Parvati has too many alliances... she has promised final four to Ozzy, James, Amanda, Cirie, Alexis, and Natalie. Clearly, she cannot take all six of them. Equally clearly, there's going to be someone unhappy with her about that. Now, even though I think Parvati is going to drag Amanda down with her, there's still the matter of the third person in that final three. Whomever it may be is going to get the windfall, and Parvati is going to be the jury's scapegoat. She's played a good game, but she's going to have WAY too much blood on her hands to win against anyone that isn't blatantly undeserving or unlikeable. Plus, if she's playing mean girl games with jurors like Eliza, that will not help her. AMANDA: Yeah, she's screwed. Her options are about as good as Jonathan's were in Cook Islands. She can go with Parvati, Alexis, and Natalie, and everyone will hate her, or she can Amber along with Ozzy and fight Erik and Alexis for who gets second, third, and fourth, or she can cling to Cirie and hope for the best. Oh, and the jealousy over Alexis? I feel she should worry about Erik more. OZZY: He's a huge physical threat and one-third of the remaining cast members appear to have a massive crush on him. If the others are dumb enough to let him get away with that... he deserves to win. On the other hand.... Cirie. Just sayin'. JAMES: In a lot of ways, I kind of don't know where he fits in here. I think he's assuming that sticking with Ozzy, Parvati, and Amanda will be enough... and I don't have any evidence that he's made a backup plan if that crumbles. ERIK: Making up fake Micronesian tribe names almost makes up for the fact that I assume his bedroom wall at home is plastered with pictures of Ozzy. JASON: Physical threat, no allies, way out of the loop, no social game, kind of clueless. Maybe he'll get a brief reprieve if the power alliance has bigger fish to fry, but I doubt it. ALEXIS: She finally gets a story line, which consists of snuggling with Our Lord and Savior Ozzy while Amanda looks daggers at her. NATALIE: She speaks in a funny British accent! This concludes Natalie's story arc for the next five episodes. ELIZA: I'll miss her. And "It's a f***ing stick!" is an awesome quote, one of my favorites from this season.

Last I checked she had a MASSIVE confessional count compared to everyone else left. Like, double the next highest person. She either wins or is our 4th place finisher again. But would this season have had that much "good" buzz surrounding it if Alexis/Amanda/Parvati were the F3?

Posts: 7934 (04/12/08 1:40 AM) MESS SPECtrometer More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think MB's BIAS, the people he ROOTS FOR, is so much part of the game, we have to take THAT as the primary consideration as to who WINS. MB was so OFFENDED that Jenna Morasca DARED to win HIS game. leading to a streak of THREE 20-SOMETHING Female, primarily SKATERS, to win, that he will stop at NOTHING to Table-Tilt HIS game to ensure that players like Parvarti, Natalie and others CANNOT win HIS GAME. MB loves HEROES. He wants heroes to win. When the game virtually assured that the "Hero," Lex, Kathy, etc. COULDN'T WIN, he changed the rules of the game to let the Final 3 face the Jury. He will always change the rules of the game to let the winner be someone who HE THINKS "OUGHT" to win. MB's VOTE in the final TC is so OBVIOUSLY, the Lion King, Erik or Dogboy, Idiot Savant, Jason, that there's really NO WAY anyone else CAN WIN. Last Edited By: sunsawed 04/12/08 1:57 AM.

Posts: 12773 (04/12/08 5:25 AM) Registered User More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Sun, I think MB tampering with the game to help alpha males is finally biting him in the ass. The dominant Fave women, Cirie and Parvati, went through seasons where Terry\Ozzy won almost every challenge, where the HI wreaked their chances, and women were slaughtered at Final TC. Thety know they need to get the strong guys out. There is no time for stupid girl games like Amanda being jealous of Alexis or worrying that Parv has too many alliances. Cirie was stalking Ozzy and Eric in ep.7 and preparing to pounce. Maybe Amanda being livid at Parv's new alliance will end up like Yul giving Jonathan his hat back. Parmanda must target Ozzy before F5 if they want to win, and they need to eliminate the biggest Fan IC threats first. Parvati and Amanda are logical jury partners for each other. The big question is who is the best bet to bring. Cirie? James? A coattail-riding fan like Alexis or Natalie? There is no obvious choice.

Posts: 657 (04/12/08 12:35 PM) MESS member More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	MB loves HEROES. He wants heroes to win. Sun, I understand your point, though I am not sure I entirely agree, mainly because I don't see any of the guys getting the hero edit. Ozzy's arrogance is coming out bigtime, Jason just seems like a bumbler, though I give him HUGE props for winning last week. I thought his comment about beating Ozzy surely meant he wouldn't. Erik is nobody's hero, he's a puppy dog. If anything, I think MB is slanting it toward Cerie. She's about the only woman that he likes, and I think she is capable of pulling it out this time. But mostly I just want her to win because I wished she'd won the last time. I"m still in awe that she went from logical first boot to final 4.

All brawn, not using his brains. He is making exactly the same mistake as he did in China relying on his alliance to get him through with no game plan of his own. He learned nothing from last time. Don't get me wrong, I still love the guy and especially his comments in confessionals. I still crack up at the way he felt sorry for the fans once he'd moved to Airai beach.
