I'm going to go ahead and blame Amanda for that silly fight with Cirie. She had the exact same fight with Ami earlier this season and, I believe, with Denise last season. Perhaps its indicative of her poor social game that she doesn't understand how someone wouldn't feel like an equal in her alliance. And guess what? Cirie was completely right! Parvati and Amanda were each other's number one allies. F2 really screwed Cirie. I wonder if she would've tried to take one of them out had she known it would be F2.

There's something about Amanda that makes her look so great on TV but so bad in the eyes of a jury. Maybe it's all the tears right at the end that lose everyone's respect. I thought her FTC performance was significantly better this time than last.

I was a little conflicted about Parvati's game compared to the rest of the final 3. I still kinda think Amanda's was a bit better. Parv's was showier and her moves were bigger, but her game in sum had significantly more luck involved. Now she did respond to those breaks perfectly and I won't begrudge someone for luck except compared to people like Amanda and Cirie who controlled most of the game without those big breaks. I loved the Ozzy move but I'm still not sure it was her best move, and really she was just the swing vote and not the orchestrator.

But Jeff made a great point yesterday when he said that the game-changing move was bringing in Alexis and Natalie. That's very true and it's the move that allowed the Ozzy move. It gave her a lot to work with and was THE move that made it so her presence in the finals was pretty much assumed several weeks back. And it's all the more impressive because Alexis and Natalie were actively against her in an alliance with Jonathan and Eliza early in New Airai and she turned them into allies and jury votes for her.
