OK, I have been weeks behind on Survivor, but I JUST got caught up and have finally watched the whole shebang. And I agree with all previous posts: BY FAR, THE BEST SEASON EVER. The Erik episode was amazing, I couldn't believe it, it was hilarious, masterful, and so tragic. Poor Erik, I did feel very bad for him. Those girls are phenomenal players. Cirie deserved to win the whole thing, and I'm not just saying that because she was my girl! (I just felt so terrible for her when she was crying at the end and apologizing to her family for letting them down) I think she directed the entire arc of the game and almost every single strategic move. But I also think if Amanda had taken her, she would have won, so I don't fault Amanda for going with Parvati...although that didn't work out so well either. Final thoughts: I still can't stand Parvati, and I can't believe she won. She is a "mean girl" and I'm still stunned. Right now I'm watching the reunion show, and they haven't shown yet how everyone voted, but I'm guessing even after all that happened, Eliza voted for Parvati. What an idiot, that she would claim to respect both of those girls for their game playing, but then still vote for the girl that was just flat out mean and bitchy to you. Ugh.
OK, those are all my thoughts. What an amaaaaazing season.
(Dang it, Cirie!)

I agree that it was an amazing season and that this group took the level of game play to a whole new level. But I feel dirty now that it's over. Of all the strategic veins that determine success in the game, I feel like "being a dick" has asserted it's dominance. Maybe I feel bad because only naive/innocent people are powerless against it... but that's who you end up feeling an affinity for... and that's pretty much the other group of castaways (other than the dicks).
ReplyDeleteI guess what this season was missing was a strong, influential, wise, and strategic player who had integrity. Like a Yul or an Earl. The last two seasons were missing that and as a result, someone evil wins a million dollars. Though I have to say that Todd earned it last season. Parvati, not so much.
