i felt bad for james. he is sexy and a really good guy. he was always honest, sometimes to a fault. that is not something you see often in survivor. amanda
made last week's episode. she was great all the way around. i loved her swining the idol! her 'oh jeff about that' when he asked for the idol was
too good. i want amanda, cirie and parvarti in the finals and i would be happy with any winner. this has been one of the best seasons!

This has turned into a much more entertaining season then I thought it would be after they booted my man Yau.
Peering into my crystal ball or is that my bowling ball this is what I see Natalie goes next because Eric wins immunity Eric goes because he can't overcome the lady trinity of the Island not sure if this is a three way or two way jury but Amanda Parv and Cirie wins not because I want her two but I think she has played from behind th curtains enough that everyone else gets the blame for the backstabbing, lying, deceiving. |

Poor Eric, he could not have played this any worst. He did have help from HIS COMPETITORS but sending Parv to Exile, taking Amanda to the Reward and giving up
the Immunity to Natalie it is hard to belief someone could make that many mistakes and have gotten this far in the game. He is such a nice guy and in such a
heartless game it is nice to see someone having a great experience. Eric is still my winner.
Synn I have to give props to Cirie for her work, I don't like the style personally but it is part of the game. I think Cirie getting Eric out has all but wrapped the game up. Eric was probably the only person who would have beaten her in the jury. Cirie has been apart of almost every twist and turn of the knife but she did not leave her finger prints like Nat, Parv and James. She was not a part of the original Fav Four and I think she will escape some of the anger of those looking for the person responsible for thier being on the jury. |

Wow. I mean...just wow. You know though I think Ozzy saved Eric for the most part and then it was just that the girls had bigger fish to fry before they got to
him. It was stupid, being the fan he is I can't really believe he fell for it. Still he's a nice guy and I felt bad for him. And the jury laughing
their butts off was pretty mean. Well deserved but still kind of mean. The girls ruled the game and while I would rather have seen Natalie go its nice to see
the girls stick together for once. Oh and I agree, Parv will get most of the mean questions and blame and Cirie and Amanda could really pull through this if
those three go to the finals

~*This has been one of the best seasons ever!!! Girl power rules. Erik is a sweetie and he was my fave fan but lordy that was
dumb!! I am so excited for the finale on Sunday! This is just gonna rock!!
TJ~The way I see it Cirie played the outwit game. Survivor has been about winning comps so much as of late I think many people forget about the other parts of the game and she has done wonderfully doing it. My worry though is will she get the credit for all of her work or will they give it to Parv who has been more vocal or Amanda who had the huge HII moment?

Wow that was amazing. Erik deserved the laughter from the jury. After Ozzy and Jason's ousters, how anyone would continue to fall for their traps is beyond
me. This season has really been great!
I wish Tracy and Eliza could have made it to the girl power final four instead of Natalie and Amanda though. All four have played a great game, but Parvati and Cirie are most deserving to win. Amanda and Natalie have only begun playing in the last few weeks, but Parvati and Cirie have been in it all along. Great great season! |

What are the chances for each of these final 4? Natalie: She has no chance. NONE. The only vote I think she has on the jury is Alexis. I don't see anyone else giving her a vote. Not any of the favorites, not Jason, whom she was responsible for getting rid of, and not Erik who she completely bamboozled. If she is in the final 3, she is just filler. She'll be the dinner rolls at the table, just a placeholder until your steak comes to the table. Odds: 50-1
Amanda, Cirie & Parvati all have a shot at winning, they have all been ringleaders, they have all stabbed others in the back and they have all won some challenges or at least contributed to their tribes winning challenges. So for these 3 it comes down to a) how the jury feels about them & b) how well they do at the final jury.
Amanda: I think she has Ozzy & James' votes. I think she completely blew it in China at the final jury so if she has learned something from last season and works the jury better, she could win. I don't think she has Alexis' vote. She could sway Eliza, who would not vote for Parvati, so Amanda is fighting Cirie for her vote. She might have Jason's vote, but Jason is hard to read because he is so full of himself that it is hard to see if he even respects the other players. Odds 3-1
Parvati: I think she has played a great game, and this is coming from someone that hates/hated her. But her winning is a tough proposition. She blindsided Ozzy. Normally that is no big deal in a game like Survivor, but she was in an alliance with him, plus I think it would take an act of God for Ozzy not to vote for Amanda. James didn't like her game play and he made that clear to her. She helped blindside Jason, Alexis & Erik. And then there's the fact that Eliza & Parvati hate each other so, I don't see a vote there. Odds: 7-1
Cirie: She has played a great social game and a great strategic game. She has been at the heart of just about all of the jury member vote outs (excluding James of course) without being the villain in it and that might be the only thing that gets her. The jury and the other final 2 might argue that she never got her hands dirty, that she always got someone else to drop the axe. If she can successfully defend herself with the notion that she didn't need to get her hands dirty, that she was manipulating everyone & everything, then she has this game won. The only thing that might get her is that for a bit there, she was pretty cocky, but no one outright dislikes Cirie, at least not openly. Odds: 2-1 My prediction is that Cirie wins the title of Ultimate Survivor, unless she completely melts down at the jury, just like Amanda did last year.

I think that is pretty accurate the only problem for Cirie is if the jury sees her as a coat tail rider since she has not been obvious in her involvement.
Cirie has been an important influence in all of the big moves but she was more subtle than Parv about it. It really comes down to the attitude and perspective
of the jury.

No. 14: Danni Boatwright
Winner, Survivor: Guatemala - The Maya Empire (Season 11) Never, ever say die. This always amiable Kansas sports fanatic certainly didn't: When her original pals had all been picked off, she subtly helped pry apart a tough, five-person alliance - without ever really looking like the bad guy. No. 13: Amanda Kimmel Third place, Survivor: China (Season 15), Final 4 of Survivor: Micronesia The queen of the blindside, she deftly took down James in China and Alexis in Micronesia. Amanda loses points, however, for a truly horrible final Tribal Council performance in China. Which brings us to... No. 12: Todd Herzog Winner, Survivor: China (Season 15) At times he acted skittish and overthought things, and Todd definitely considers himself more of a mastermind than he actually is. Still, his performance at China's final Tribal Council was flawless, as he not only admitted to, but embraced all of his underhanded dealings. No. 11: Earl Cole Winner, Survivor: Fiji (Season 14) Calm, cool, and collected, Earl was so smooth that he never had to win a challenge or backstab anyone. But he was always aware of his tribemates' moves and took steps to counter them No. 10: Tom Westman Winner, Survivor: Palau (Season 10) Sometimes, it's as simple as being the best all-around player - mentally, physically, and socially. And no one made the point better than this New York City firefighter. No. 9: Yau-Man Chan Fourth Place, Survivor: Fiji (Season 14) Laughed at and underestimated by his Fiji opponents, Yau Man was always one step ahead of the competition. His decision to give away his car to Dreamz for the promise of being given immunity should Dreamz win it was no less genius just because it didn't pan out. No wonder Cirie wanted him out so early in Micronesia. No. 8: Rob Cesternino Third place, Survivor: The Amazon (Season 6) Stir things up on a near-weekly basis - especially when key alliance members (Heidi, Deena, and Alex, anyone?) get bit by the old overconfidence bug. No. 7: Chris Daugherty Winner, Survivor: Vanuatu (Season 9) Remember: On Survivor, cash trumps sisterhood - a lesson Chris drove home by breaking up a seemingly tight six-woman alliance on his way to victory. No. 6: Cirie Fields Fourth place, Survivor: Panama - Exile Island (Season 12), Final 4 of Survivor: Micronesia A good sense of humor can mask cutthroat tendencies; it certainly worked for Cirie, who deceived with a giggle, and might have taken home the million if not for an unfortunate Tribal Council tiebreaker that involved building a fire. And she has proven to be no one-hit wonder by controlling the gameplay throughout Micronesia. No. 5: Brian Heidik Winner, Survivor: Thailand (Season 5) It's hard to overcome a well-oiled master plan, especially when, as in this case, it's being led by the game's strongest, smartest player. (Um, not that it makes for terribly exciting television, mind you.) No. 4: Yul Kwon Winner, Survivor: Cook Islands (Season 13) Solving the clues to find the hidden immunity idol by episode 2 certainly helped, but it was also the Yale Law graduate's uncanny ability to strategize - knowing when to apply pressure, when to make deals, and how to appeal to his fellow players - that helped Yul outwit and outlast (and get Jonathan to flip back to his alliance), even when he was outnumbered. No. 3: Tina Wesson Winner, Survivor: Australian Outback (Season 2) Don't underestimate the smiling Southern mom - stealth can often equal wealth in CBS' reality granddaddy. No. 2: ''Boston'' Rob Mariano Runner-up, Survivor: All-Stars (Season 
It's possible to totally control and manipulate your tribemates - even ones on their second tour of duty - without them truly realizing it. Even if it means losing the final jury vote...to your future wife. No. 1: Richard Hatch Winner, Survivor (Season 1) Be a trailblazer: Hatch was the first true Survivor strategist, and the best. Was the show ever more fascinating (or infuriating) than when the majority of castaways refused to acknowledge Hatch's brilliant alliance strategy - or to rally against it?

On that list I would rate Danni much higher. She really earned her spot much more on her own than riding the coattails of someone else. No. 8 Rob I would rate much lower. We kept hearing about how smart he was and what a good player he was but in both of his opportunities he really did not prove that. I really liked No. 3 Tina and it is strange that she really got roasted when she peeked in the bag of one of her tribemates when the tribe believed he had
smuggled food into camp. Now going through the other competitors bags is an acceptable practice as we have seen in the past two contest.

Survivor sure got those girls this time. I didn't see a final two coming. Always keep 'em guessing. I knew Amanda would take Parv. Poor Cirie I think
she had a great shot at winning if she had made it. You know I really feel like neither girl gave a great final speech. And Amanda took a lot more hits than I
thought she would. Oh and did anyone else feel kinda dirty after Natalie asked Parv her question? lol Ozzy did his best to turn it around for Amanda but she
apparently didn't play a social enough game. Too bad. I would rather have seen her win I think. But yay for James! He was the favorite though I did hope
Cirie would win it.

It is interesting that Amanda made it to back to back finals but was not able to get the jury vote for the win.
You never know what the jury is going to base their decisions on and although it was a close vote Parv was able to win. Angel was Nats question not one of the strangest in Survivor Jury History? What would have happened if it had been a 4 to 4 vote? "I think we can see it cause we're the the craziest" Hurley |

*Amanda gets screwed over by votes because the jury expects her to be so sweet and when she does something ruthless game wise
they punish her for it. AT least that is my take on why she didn't win. I am so pissed that Cirie made it far but once again doesn't make it to the
end. I am disappointed for her. As for the winner? I think all three of those girls deserved to be in the final and I think any of them deserved to win so I am
not unhappy with the winner.
I think Danni should have been higher as well. She was one of the best under the radar players ever.

I thought for sure that Amanda would win against Parv but lose to Cirie in the final jury vote but you just never know how the jury is going to react. I
think sometimes the jurors can't stand that certain players would be able to beat them and vote influenced by their own bruised egos rather than who really
deserves to win.
On the question of Ozzy, Jason, or Eric making the dumbest move, I have to forgive Eric for being naive, Ozzy was a veteran and should have known better. "I think we can see it cause we're the the craziest" Hurley |

I'm really happy with the finale!
Although I have to disagree with everyone, I don't think Amanda deserved to win. She made some good moves at the end but by and large she played the exact same game as the first time. She even had a freakout after one of the last tribal councils when someone said something she didn't like, just like last time. I also thought that her tears over voting out Cirie were fake and was glad that the jury realized it. Personally I thought Ozzy's love confession was really annoying too. Those two deserve each other! I'm glad that Parv won but the original mastermind behind the great blindsides was Tracy, who definitely should have won. Did she get much attention during the reunion show? I was also surprised about Eliza's comments at tribal, and Natalie's questions just didn't make sense! lol, I also thought that Eric and Ozzy really needed to get over themselves, and Jason needs to get over his Ozzy complex. I really enjoyed a lot of the players this season (Tracy, Parvati, Eliza, Cirie, Jason, Jonathan) but I'm glad that I won't ever have to see a lot of them ever again (Ozzy, Amanda, Erik, Natalie). |
