Amanda had a horrible start, and that is enough to rule someone out. 3 UTRs and an INV = edgic death. If Amanda wins, Edgic fails miserably. Even with Parvati, she had maybe 4 strong episodes, and a hell of a lot of weak ones, so that wouldn't even be a huge success, IMO. I have to give this with you in the beginning, I didn't think Amanda had a great start.. BUT, she was present in those first few episodes, she was just in the background. Once she caught that shark though she was front and center.

Exactly, all we heard from Parvati was "I'm flirting but there's more to my strategy" and the discussion with Cirie/Amanda. I have a fat lip, and then a couple of episodes later it's the whole bringing Alexis/Natalie over and everyone else is dead to me... We didn't even get a reaction from her about the tribal swap...

You're arguing why Parvati shouldn't win based on edgic, and yet you're backing Amanda who is nearly as bad an edgic fit as Natalie. INV episode + UTR1 in the first episode (which is almost as bad as an INV episode), no confessionals in the first episode, no intro confessional, four consecutive UTR episodes.

Quiet pre-merge, then popping out into the forefront post-merge, only to lose. We shall see in a couple of hours.

I said that EXACT same thing yesterday http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/sreply/2917083/t/S-16-Edgic-editing-and-logic-.html "So they start off with like half UTR and 1 CP and a couple of MORs and then they start getting CP toward the end with a UTR thrown in."

The only difference is that Cirie doesn't have many jury connections, except to Eliza, which could work to her benefit, given how bitter a lot of the jury seems like they're going to be.

Posts: 4716 (05/11/08 2:42 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Yea, but we never once had Lisi, Rocky, or the 4 horsemen ,or Stacey or Boo for that matter, ever commenting on Earl or his gameplay. Not that I can remember. ETA: Oh, Earl was never on the same tribe as Lisi. She was voted out while they were still in tribes. Earl was switched to NuMoto.

He had the jury connections, but they were for all the wrong reasons. Actually the more I think about it, Parvati's edit fits more in line with what Dreamz got in Fiji, then Amanda.

It means the editors/producers were deliberately fucking with everyone by hiding the winner until SHE declared she was ready to play. Highly unusual and only would work because it would be a "blindside," a fitting end to a season full of blindsides. Hilarious as it seems, it's unlikely. The winner isn't hidden like that. Amanda winning would be nearly as bad since it would signal that 1st episodes aren't so important. Plus, her game for the first HALF was rather weak. All we could look to is the comment at the merge (I forget by whom) that the game begins now. Cirie winning is a victory for a minority of Edgickers but not for Edgic overall, since she was not the majority choice. I still feel that her edit was designed to win her the $100,000 America's Choice because she failed to win the million AND MB & Co thought she was deserving for the actual moves she made. She failed to woo enough voters but her gameplay helped make the season so entertaining. And that's why her edit doesn't have a lot of connections to others, but does have a high confessional count. She was edited to appeal to the TV audience.

Like I stated earlier, Dreamz during Fiji is a good example of having all the connections but still losing at the end. I think it should definitely be looked into for next season.

This has been a great season tho, no matter how it turns out. People who enjoy doing Edgic will be back next season, and we will have some fun in the off-season working on addressing whatever needs addressing.
