Sorry I've been MIA around here. Still catching up. Will post again later tonight.

Lol, running away to join Loc on the Island is a nice fantasy. Actually, life is very good, here in the wilds of New England. Had a baby moose wander through town last week. We could use some rain, though!

Close Call tie-Breakers for the two-hour Finale

Natalie Bolton- CP (50%), MOR (50%) : Natalie may have been out at F-4, but she still got her CP licks in.

Natalie, "I've been afraid to ask for things, before, in my life..."
This was the theme of the Finale. That the women found their inner warrior-bitch and kicked macho ass.
Natalie Bolton CP. Definitely.

Amanda Kimmel - Neutral (41.7%), P (41.7%) ; Cirie Fields- Neutral (50%), P (50%)

The stats say it all. An even split on tone. This episode's edit was all about explaining how these four women played a good strategic game. How they all outwitted, outlasted, and outplayed the rest, especially the men.

Eric, "These women are vicious, they are cut-throat. I think I learned a lot about how women work."

Parvati, "I haven't missed the guys here for one second...We beat them out with our brains!"

Cirie opened the episode by telling us that she didn't shed one tear for the men who were gone.

Amanda came close to a P with her weepy, but seemingly sincere breakdowns. "Straight from China, I come here and I just couldn't take it..."
She congratulates herself that, "This time I played so much better..."
Parvati tells Cirie after Amanda wins the final IC, "She's definitely a closer."
She is shown having all sorts of conflict and worry about having to choose her F-2 partner.
But, she also gets chewed out by Eliza, Alexis, Cirie, Natalie, and Eric for being phony and superficial. This was balanced with her breakdown scenes to rate an M.

Cirie gets sympathetic scenes that explain her "bottom of the totem pole" situation, but she also gets dissed by Natalie and Parvati for her efforts. She went out with an edit that was meant to give her loss a lot of sympathy. But, the other, negative scenes and SPV combine to give her an M.
