Editing might suggest that,
But actually Parv had to work Amanda pretty hard to make Alexis the target (interviews). Parv was protecting her girl Natalie. And it paid off, since Erik and Alexis probably would have worked together more effectively at F5 than E and N.

Eliza, could you tell us why Cirie helped Alexis win the family visit? Where they more allied than editing suggested? Was Cirie so hellbent on getting the visit that Alexis promising to take her on reward was enough to sway her? Or did Cirie masterfully intend Amanda to be sent to exile and get the idol, to the benefit of the Fave Females alliance.

I've never been sure how much Cirie really waivered in her loyalty to Parv and Amanda in that episode. This has never been addressed in interviews or anywhere.

Eliza! Thanks for asking my question! Your insight is so awesome. I just have two more for you, just based on "the experience." Promise! After that, I'm done!

In your times at Malakal and Airai, when going to a challenge, who was the most "shocking" boot to you from the other tribe, and why? Was it Ami (which is my hunch)?

Do you think Ozzy's waxing poetic about Amanda cost her final tribal council votes? I know if I were sitting on that jury, I would have voted Parv for that reason alone. Do you think it had any negative pull, or do you think everyone who voted the way they did went into that final TC already fully decided?

What they didn't show ahead of time was that Amanda really couldn't have cared less about winning the family visit, she cared much more about going to exile and although she protested when Alexis actually sent her, that was the agreed upon decision back at camp before the challenge. This isn't firsthand knowledge, so I could be incorrect about parts of the story, but Cirie had Alexis win OUT OF loyalty to Amanda. At least that was my impression.

I mean, when Parv and Amanda kept Cirie around for F3 that meant there was something we hadn't seen.... Going into F3 with Cirie was a suicide move. Clearly there had been alliance affirmations that hadn't been revealed to us.

Parv was edited to be a better player than she actually was, I think. Yes, she was presented with opportunities and seized upon them, which many Survivors don't. Yes, she had a group of followers that did what she told them to their own detriment. She played a good game for the cards she was handed. But assuming you're going to F3 and still bringing Cirie? Not smart.
