Parvati is the very definition of somebody who won by default. Going into final tribal, it was Amanda's game to lose. She blew it there, and so Parvati won - not because she did anything WELL but because Amanda is such a godawful speaker that she convinces people to vote against her!

I was floored by Amanda's answer to Cirie's question, even knowing how much she sucks as a speaker. Cirie asked why Parvati was more deserving than her to win a million dollars. Wasn't it OBVIOUS that the answer to that question should be "she isn't"? Couldn't Amanda have come up with something along these lines:

She's not more deserving, Cirie. You are far more deserving of the money than Parvati. The only reason you are there and she is here is because I think you may be more deserving of the money than me, too, and I was afraid I couldn't beat you. You were the real power player, here. It was you who came up with all of the plans for the blindsides. Erik, Ozzy... Heck, all the way back to Yau-Man, you have been running this game and making the crucial decisions. Parvati's "aggressive moves" that she so proudly claims were really just her following your lead. You did such a good job of covering your tracks that these people [indicates jury] may not even KNOW how instrumental you were, but I knew. And I knew that if I faced you in the end, that there is nothing I would have that could argue the fact that you were THE key strategist in this entire game.

That would have probably gotten her Cirie's vote, and it would have undermined Parvati's argument for why she would be more deserving than Amanda. Therefore, others (Jason, Eliza, and even possibly Natalie & Alexis) would have been more likely to vote for her as well. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb! Even if Amanda didn't totally believe it, she should have said ANYTHING to make Cirie feel appreciated so that she would give her vote... Instead, she insulted Cirie (calling her a less-deserving player than Parv is a BIG insult!) and earned herself 2nd place. I consider that to be almost as dumb a move as Erik's...

Parvati masterminded NOTHING - she rode Cirie's strategic coattails. And she was too dumb to even know it. She actually had the unmitigated gall to suggest that Cirie rode hers! Fuck her!!!!


I REALLY wish that they had focused at the reunion on the votes for a few moments. I would love to know for sure who Amanda's third vote was (I assume it was James). I'd also like to know why Jason chose Parv. More importantly, I would love to know why ELIZA chose Parv when she has always hated her effing guts!
