TLS, my biggest memory of Ami was her marvelously threatening lorena bobbit adventure with the machete and Erik. It was an excrutiatingly funny (at least, I bet, for the guys watching!) moment. No frigging way would I give her a P overall - it was probably her biggest single strategy moment in the whole show. If you wanna go M, cool. But P?

Also, I'm just basing my comments on my basic gut reactions to remembering the characters. I know it isn't really edgic to do that .... Hey! None of this is edgic!!!... but just how I remembered them . It's not a matter of confessional counts or the fact that Eliza was .035 aggregate median percentage greater in the first quarter of the middle quintile of shows than Parvati when conducting an n-dimensional factor analysis.

Just gut reaction to them in the season. Chet - whiner. Yao - was he on the show? Jonathan - heroic strategizer who loves the game. Eliza - plucky smart worrier. Amanda - MOR chick who can't finish. Again.

The only one I'm willing to change on is Parv to N. I talked with hubbie and he looked at me with an are-you-daft expression. "The bitch had game" was his response. Good point, but how you place "bitchiness" into the n-dimensional matrix is a tough one.

I think so people put a little too much focus on the machete scene for Ami. It's not like the editors really made a big deal out of it. Ami just happened to be holding a machete during that scene. It would've been shown if she was holding a stick, too.

But it wouldn't have been so... threatening... with a stick or a twinkie or a TV remote. It was the frigging machete, and her comments to Erik oozed controlling smugness. It was great.

Besides, this ain't edgic. 'Twas I that is making a big deal about it. It was a truly awesome scary N scene. the fact that it wouldn't have been as threatening if she was nudging him with a stuffed koala toy sort of proves my point - it was a long, sharp knife.
