It is quite possible that Parvati's efforts to win are tied up in several major moves, which moves cannot have more said about them besides showing them now, and then hearing how she explains herself in front of the jury.

The big moves so far include:

1. Making the showmancer alliance.

2. Making a new alliance with herself, Amanda & Cirie.

3. Making a new alliance with Natalie for herself, Nat and the absent Amanda & Alexis.

I think the next few boots will leave us with a final 5 of Parvati, Amanda, Cirie, Alexis and Natalie. Five Girls in the Final 5. James could be the last man standing, with Parvati having taken him as far as she could (lol.) Then Alexis is booted at F5, Natalie at F4 and there's the final 3 that we saw in the canoe back in Ep 2 or 3.

Cirie may well be a mastermind, but can she sell her strategy to the jury? Since this game IS a social game more than simply mental or physical, being able to sell what you did to a majority of those you did it to is much more important than just being able to make the moves. We have been shown Cirie's negativity in the DR; what if she lets some of that negativity out in front of the jury, perhaps throwing a few snide remarks at Ozzy thinking everyone is down with that? Many on the jury remain Ozzy fans, and would not take kindly to such badmouthing. Cirie might get Eliza's vote, but no-one else's. There's got to be a reason we've seen so much negativity from Cirie.

Amanda could be in the F3 as well, and since she was kept out of the loop, she may easily earn Ozzy's vote. But if she is a wet mess like last time, she won't be able to earn any other votes because she actually doesn't have much of a game to sell in the first place. Perhaps she even takes the opportunity to whine about Ozzy's boot, giving Parvati the chance to explain why it was done the way it was, even if it was Cirie's idea not to tell her, for example. In that way it may appear to the jury, just as it was edited to appear to us, that Parvati was the "mastermind."

So, where will the other votes go? To Parvati.

For the two recent two jurors Eliza was gushing to Cirie and said personally she hoped she wins and Ozzie was like "No I don't blame Cirie." Even people Cirie screwed over like Ami and who was clearly edited to appear to be negative to Cirie said in their post-game interviews they loved Cirie. In fact even in Exile Island people she booted expressed no animosity to her and even love and admiration. The point is if her negativity is a result of editing Survivor history shows it is unlikely she would face hate on the jury.

That is the difference with Parvati's negativity. Parvati is shown with people the potential jurors putting the hate on her e.g. Amanda. And the negativity is supported off the show in interviews as well e.g. Eliza saying she hopes Parvati doesn't win and Ozzy saying that if he finds out Parvati voted for him he will screw her. We even have James talking about how he doesn't like her that much any more. Basically Parvati's negativity is *real* because it is shown has having real consequences in the way other players perceive her.

Moreover the fact that so many of the players who leave the game so they love Cirie despite the negativity we see on the screen from her to them is also very Todd like. We hear things but obviously she isn't letting it filter to the people she is saying them about and she is very capable of acting nice. Hence I think she will be able to keep her negativity down in the jury phase.

As to why we are getting the negativity about Cirie, as I suggested back in Episode 3. This is how they would likely to edit a female mastermind. A bitch. Also masterminds in general have got negative edits. As I said it fits in with her edit. When choices are made about how to portray Cirie or the tribe she is on, fluffy feelings are consistently discarded for cold, hard strategy and pure toughness. She is also shown as consistently being in control. That's also a large advantage Cirie's edit has over Parvati's. Cirie while negative is *consistent*.
