The ruse. Pretending along with Amanda that she was going home. Cirie and Parvati could have blown it if their acting skills were not also good. Think about
it. Amanda would have been safe but Cirie or Parvati would have been voted out. It was for their survival.

Katy Carney wrote: I'm still not sure I understand your point about what you think that scene meant. That she had some plan to oppose the women and keep James around over their objections, and preferably face him at the end? She knew perfectly well that the women were not going to keep him around, and we never saw her raise any objections to them about it. What was she supposed to say to James, 'We're probably getting rid of you next because you're too big a threat?' She knew her alliance was planning to blindside Jason, so she took the opportunity to reassure James, which you seem to think was more meaningful or reflective of her longterm strategy than it was. Parvati said herself that the women were 'spinning the guys around before devouring them' or something. Yet it was Parvati who was honest with James and told him his days were numbered. |

She wanted James to stay just like she didn't want Ozzy to be voted out. She was disappointed because she likes them, despite what it would mean for her long term if they stayed. |

Amanda to the final 3, and then go with either Ozzy or Parvati. It would have been interesting to know, who did Amanda consider herself more aligned with.
Remember they did need Cire's vote, when that was said. So how serious was she about that promise, and because of Ozzy's blindside she had to honor it.
We really won't know until there are some interviews with Amanda.Of Course she probably knows that the alpha males most often win too.

Katy Carney wrote:The fact that she had a final 3 deal with Cirie and Parvati and not, as far we know, with James, indicates that she did plan to get rid of him. Unless you're really bad at math or predicting a final 4 twist, it should be self-evident. |

Because of Ozzy's blindside, we aren't sure who was Amanda planning to be more loyal too.Parvati/Ozzy where friends outside of the game, so Ozzy might have stupidly chosen to trust her. I think Amanda didn't tell Ozzy about Parvati's outside alliances, because she was smart enough to realize it would be stupid to alienate Cire/Parvati. Even if she was just playing along and planning to stick with Ozzy to the end, you don't alienate people that aren't targeting you yet. |

Trading one immunity for the other? Hey, bitch, you have the HII, just play it and the person we vote for is out. No need to be worried. No need to try to blindside someone. No need to make a trade.Granted, it's difficult to come up with a scenario where trading immunities makes sense. I thought about it for a long time and I came up with this, admittedly somewhat far-fetched, scenario: 1. Early in the episode, Cirie accidentally finds Ozzy's old HII. 2. Cirie asks to be sent to Exile so she can claim that she found the HII there. 3. Erik wins immunity. 4. Erik is approached by each of the girls to participate in various plans to vote out one of the other girls, in exchange for various supposed Final 3 deals, but he doesn't know who to trust. 5. Eventually, Cirie tells him that she found a HII on Exile Island and shows him Ozzy's idol. Erik looks at it and is convinced that it's a real HII. 6. Cirie tells Erik that she's decided that she can't trust Parvati and she wants to use the HII to blindside her, but the only way for that to work is for the HII to be played by the person who gets the majority of votes. Cirie believes that either Amanda or Catalie will get the majority of the votes, but she isn't 100% which one, and she doesn't want to tell either of them about her plan because she doesn't think either of them will vote out Parvati. BUT, she does know one thing: If he (Erik) were to give up immunity, then all the girls would vote for him. This means that he can then play the HII to eliminate Parvati. 7. Hence, Cirie proposes to Erik that they swap their immunities so that Erik can then play the HII to blindside Parvati. 8. Erik, who, as huge fan of show, is eager to get a chance to blindside someone---and particularly Parvati who blindsided his mancrush Ozzy---loves the idea and agrees to it. 9. So Cirie gives Ozzy's HII to Erik and Erik agrees to give Cirie his immunity necklace at TC. 10. At TC Erik does indeed give his immunity necklace to Cirie and all the girls pretend to be shocked. 11. Erik then votes for Parvati and all the girls vote for him, just as Cirie and Erik had planned. 12. Before the votes are read, Erik plays Ozzy's HII, but is shocked when Probst tells him that it's an old HII than can no longer be played. 13. Then the votes are read and Erik is voted out. And that, my friends, is what will forever be known as the stupidest thing ever done on Survivor! (Er.... well after Ian and Colby anyway....) |

Guessing votes is a waste of fucking time. It never pans out how people are so damned sure it will. We only know what we've been privy too. I recently
read an interview of Ami which showed that she was basically creaming her pants for Ozzy the whole time. She LOVES him, and wanted him to win. Who would have
thought that from her edit?

on the show, especially if it doesn't lead to it effecting who is around on the end. I assume she had one with both Ozzy/James and Cire/Parvati. Ozzy was
blindsided so she ended up having to stick to her deal with Cire/Parvati. If Ozzy had not been blindsided then, we don't know for sure what Amanda would
have done.

before that Ozzy didn't take the HII with him. Atleast in the recap in the next episode. Ozzy's HII showing up after a couple of episodes would be too
suspicious to an average viewer. There has never been a Tribal Council where someone gets up after the votes are cast and tells Jeff that they want to use
their HII on someone ELSE!!! This is how I see things going down:

To all those who are proposing ideas about someone finding the HII again...I thought that since it has been PLAYED and USED they won't be replanting it on
exile? I thought the only reason the kept putting it back because it had never been used. Now Amanda used it...so, it's gone...over and done with, yes? It
would be stupid for them to put it out there again......

It went back out in Fiji.
The only reason it never went back out in Exile and Cook was because it never got played. There's no precedent to say once it's played it's done. I don't know where this is coming from. I've heard heaps of people say it. They weren't replanted in China, but were in Fiji. China had no exile, so I would imagine the scenario to be more similar to that in Fiji. It goes out one more time I reckon. |

I don't think Jeff would ask about the idol before he reads the votes. So maybe Erik would volunteer about using it. I really don't think this can
happen. So I'm guessing he gives up the IC.
As for Amanda not making a deal with Ozzy and James about the final 3. It's ordinary. Ozzy said in one of his interviews that if he was voted out at 5 or 4, he won't be that mad. I'm thinking Amanda planned to back stab Ozzy early on, but her game may have changed, she also fell inlove..) But thanks to Parv and Cirie she doesn't have to do the backstabbing on Ozzy. Hopefully this is one of the crucial moments that would let her win this time around. But I'm seeing a Parvati win so poor Amanda... Lol About Alexis, just reading insiders and Alexis' vote and piece like adoring and respecting the person she is voting for blah blah... Like Ozzy and Amanda vote. Alexis is not Ethan who would win Survivor being the nicest guy/girl around. Cut throat baby... |

To put one matter to rest
Reality TV World: So now that you're gone, do you think one of them will try to find it and keep it for themselves? Ozzy: No. The rules of the game are if I didn't give it to anyone, it's basically been absolved. Reality TV World: So do producers plan on re-hiding it? Ozzy: Yes they do. They re-hide it. |

I'll have to rewatch the episode following Ozzy's boot to be sure, but I thought Jeff referred to Ozzy's Idol as "out of play" and
that a new one would be hidden, which could mean that the old one is still out there, but no longer valid.� God, I hope so, because that
really would be fun.� I can't wait to see this episode.
